Bucharest, the capital of Romania, was ranked the best city for British expats looking to relocate in Europe.
A CIA spokesperson said: “This charming city offers one of the lowest costs of living, expats can rent a one bed flat for just £398.55 per month, or buy one for as little as £2,107.76 per square metre.
“Public transport is also very affordable at just £14.41 per month, which is the second cheapest in Europe after Luxembourg, where public transport is free.”
Expats may want to look into digital nomad opportunities in Romania, as Bucharest doesn’t have many job vacancies.

The King even owns several properties in Transylvania, close to where his colourful relative used to live.
Valletta in Malta was Europe’s second highest ranking city and is a great choice for expats looking for a new job.
