Best Places To Live In Portugal
The cities and areas we recommend in Portugal are the Algarve region, Lisbon, Porto and the North, and the Silver Coast.
In The Algarve Region is where most expats end up, especially in cities like Lagos and Tavira. If you love cliffs, old towns, medieval walls, and stunning beaches, then look no further than Lagos.
For something closer to nature then the smaller coastal town of Tavira is where you should be looking.
Lisbon, the capital of the country, has one of the lowest cost of living of Portugal and most other European capitals. The locals are charming and welcoming.
The city of Lisbon has an old feel and plenty of things to do: Wonderful cuisine, unique architecture, and a vibrant lifestyle.
Porto is the second largest city in Portugal, and is widely viewed as the culture capital of Portugal: You can find a historic center, the Ribeira district, which is an UNESCO world heritage site.
On top of history, aesthetics, and culture, you will find plenty of beach resorts and luxurious amenities in the nearby areas.
Last but not least, we recommend the Silver Coast: A 150 mile stretch of beach along the North of Portugal, directly competing with the Algarve Region in the South.
While the weather is not as consistent and idyllic as the Algarve, the Silver Coast is seen as more authentic and is attracting plenty of expats to its beaches.
