If the dreary UK winters are getting you down and you're itching for a change of scenery, there's one breathtaking European destination that has been crowned the best place for families to move to. William Russell's international health insurance specialists have researched various countries, assessing childcare, accommodation, and flights from the UK to determine the most family-friendly relocation spot.
Portugal emerged as the top choice in their rankings, with the experts highlighting its all-around strong performance, particularly noting it "excelled" in financial aspects. The experts said: "Families in Portugal benefit from affordable childcare, costing 5% of household income on average, and the average monthly cost of essential utilities is very low at £94.
"Additionally, property prices in Portugal are very affordable, with an average apartment price per square metre of £209, while the average cost of a flight from London is just £24, making it easy to stay connected with your extended family back home.".
The Portuguese climate also offers a gentler winter experience. While night time temperatures can dip to around 2C, daytime temperatures often linger around a comfortable 20C, reports the Express. Should Portugal not quite tickle your fancy, the experts have identified a runner-up location worth considering.
