Only values precise enough for a verdict are used. Regional values never count. Every town page says whether the town meets this rule.

Visit in summer before you decide

A town can feel very different from one month to the next. The month pages show the average high, low and rain days for each month.

What our data can't tell you

Residency and visa rules: check the official immigration service.
What a particular home costs: the rents and prices here are medians for the whole municipality.
Access to public healthcare as a foreign resident.
How a neighbourhood feels: visit, ideally more than once.

What does a town need to be listed?

Why is a town I expected missing?

A town is listed only when every value the rule needs is known and precise enough. Regional values never count toward a rule.
