17 Switzerland
While living in Switzerland is by no means cheap, it's a very sought-after retirement destination. What makes it so popular is a combination of having some of the world's best standard of living, low taxes, and a real sense of safety and stability. Fans of winter sports will appreciate the pristine Alpine slopes, although anyone can enjoy the lush natural scenery the country is famous for. What's particularly appealing is that so many of these gorgeous sights are just a short drive away from the city, which allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the tranquility of nature and the sociability of city living.
