City guides
Monaco
Monaco combines very high property prices, no income tax for most residents and careful residency checks. Here is how renting, buying and moving really work, and why many workers live in France.
12 minZürich
High salaries, short commutes and a lake in the middle of town, set against some of Switzerland's highest housing costs and a very tight rental market.
11 minGeneva
UN agencies, banks and trading firms in a small lakeside city. Flats are scarce and expensive, so many people rent across the border in France and commute.
11 minCosta del Sol
Sun, a big international airport and long-established foreign communities, but asking prices are up about 76% in five years and long-term rentals are scarce. Where to live, what it costs and the rules to know.
11 minLisbon
Lisbon offers city life on the river with beaches a train ride away, but rents and prices have outrun local wages. What each area costs, and how renting, buying and moving here work.
12 minDubrovnik
Dubrovnik is one of Croatia's two most expensive property markets, and year-round rentals are scarce. Where people live, what homes cost, and how renting, buying, tax and residency work.
