"Expats in Lisbon appreciate the city's vibrant culture, which is a mix of traditional Portuguese and modern influences. They also enjoy the city's relaxed atmosphere, with its laid-back lifestyle and friendly locals. The city's mild climate and stunning natural beauty are also appreciated by expats, who can enjoy outdoor activities year-round. Lisbon's rich history and architecture are also a draw, with its cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and iconic monuments. Finally, expats appreciate the city's diverse culinary scene, with its traditional Portuguese dishes and international flavors," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lisbon, Portugal.
"My vastly improved diet. Without any actual effort, I’ve lost 25 pounds since I got here, which I attribute to eatting a lot more fresh fruit and vegetables and walking on cobblestoned up and downhill sidewalks. The extreme level of consideration for other people among the Portuguese. Because of an obstruction in the left venticle of my heart, I have to stop and catch my breath about every block, and I had to learn almost immediately how to say “I’m OK. I’ve got water. I just need to take a short rest before I move on,” because people stop all the time to ask," commented one expat who made the move to Lisbon, Portugal.
