Where should I setup a bank account in Sintra?

"Sintra is a popular destination for expats due to its rich history, beautiful landscapes, and pleasant climate. Before retiring in Sintra, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in many other European countries, but higher than other parts of Portugal. Healthcare in Portugal is of a high standard and affordable, but it's recommended to have private health insurance to cover any unexpected costs. Portugal has a favorable tax regime for retirees, known as the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) scheme, which can provide significant tax benefits for a period of ten years. Learning the Portuguese language can greatly enhance your experience, as not everyone speaks English, especially the older generation. Portugal is generally safe, but like any other place, it's important to take precautions against petty crime. The process of buying property in Portugal is straightforward, but it's advisable to hire a lawyer to help navigate the legalities. Portugal has a slower pace of life, which can be a big adjustment for those used to a fast-paced lifestyle. Public transportation in Sintra is reliable, but having a car can be beneficial for exploring more remote areas. Portugal has a strong culture of food and wine, with a Mediterranean diet that is both delicious and healthy. Finally, it's important to understand the cultural norms and customs of Portugal to integrate smoothly into the local community," explained one expat living in Sintra, Portugal.
