What do I need to know before moving to Lagos?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Lagos, they said...
"Lagos is a beautiful coastal city in the Algarve region of Portugal. It is known for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich cultural heritage. Before moving to Lagos, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of Portugal. Additionally, the city is quite touristy, so it is important to be aware of the potential for pickpocketing and other petty crime. Expats should also be aware that the local language is Portuguese, so it is important to learn some basic phrases before arriving. Finally, Lagos is a great place to live, with plenty of activities and attractions to explore," remarked another expat who made the move to Lagos, Portugal.
