Pros and Cons of Living in Portugal

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the relaxed lifestyle and warm climate that Portugal has to offer. They also enjoy the low cost of living, with affordable housing and food, as well as the country's rich culture and history. Additionally, the country's excellent public transportation system makes it easy to get around. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and bureaucracy to be challenging. Additionally, the country's limited job opportunities can be a deterrent for some," explained one expat living in Portugal.

"The weather is generally very good, access to goods and services makes it easy to live here. Covid has impacted everything of course which has made things more difficult. Health care is accessible and affordable. Learning the language has taken longer but English is often understood. There's access to lots of outdoors activities like cycling, hiking, water sports, which is important. There is an old world charm and a lot of history to learn about. Also access to other places in Europe make this location good. Previously lived in several countries in Asia. Europe also closer to the US for trips back- when possible again," said one expat in living in Lisbon, Portugal.
