Moving Lisbon | Emigrating to Lisbon
Moving Lisbon: Lisbon, the oldest city in Western Europe, is a port and capital city of Portugal. It is a city with a long and fascinating history and is now the economic, political and tourist centre of the country. It is such a popular tourist destination that a city with a population of only 504,000 people welcomes more than 4.5 million visitors each year.
Lisbon is one of the most affordable cities in Europe and this is why it has seen a surge of younger expats and digital nomads moving to the city. The city is known by the locals as “Sete Colinas” or “The City of the Seven Hills” despite the fact there are actually eight. A well-known meeting point for expats is the classy Campo de Ourique area of the city with its lively bars, restaurants and boutique shops.

Life in Lisbon for expats
Lisbon is an ideal city for those expats with a level of financial security, retirees or those that make their income online. It is important to note that although the cost of living is low in Lisbon, the salaries for local jobs tend to be low also. But once living in the city very few expats regret their decision. Lisbon is a welcoming city with a relaxed culture and 300 days of sunshine per year.
The service sector makes up around 85% of employment with the rest being in construction, tourism, education and utilities. The cost of living is one of the cheapest in Europe and accommodation is around 57% lower than in London. The locals are friendly but reserved and to be able to integrate into society it is certainly necessary to be able to communicate in Portuguese.
