Pros & Cons of Living in Portugal

Moving to Portugal? Looking to live a life in a land of sun-soaked beaches, mouthwatering cuisine, and a pace of life that invites you to savor each moment? Before you start envisioning your idyllic life here, you might want to consider a few things. For example the pace of life... or, what the healthcare system is like to work with.. And let's not even get started on the food scene; it's more than just pasteis de nata and seafood.

Portugal offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, but it's not without its quirks. From navigating the multibanco payment system to understanding the true meaning of "300 days of sun," living in Portugal might just surprise you—in both delightful and challenging ways. So, whether you're drawn to the cobblestone streets of Porto or the bustling energy of Lisbon, it's worth taking a closer look at what life in Portugal truly entails. After all, sometimes the charm is in the details, and those details might just make or break your love affair with this wonderful country.
