Looking for a needle in a haystack by Mindyc
Hi everyone, My husband a I lived in the Carribean for a couple of years. Now we are investigating to move to Portugal. We’ve been looking around Lisbon but this not what we are looking for. I think we are looking for a needle in a haystack - ...
If I were you, I'd check Setubal. Excellent town, people, etc. Read More

Setubal may not be a needle in a haystack but, it is an excellent town...Taking the ferry boat, one has splendid beach (es) on TROIA. . Read More
Urgent renting and agents by Dannoush
Good evening, Hope someone can help here with some advice. I need to rent a flat in Lisbon within 4 days next week as I have to leave immediately for work after that. I have been looking online at many sites and can see how fast flats go and how ...
Hello, But that would not be a problem. As long as you rented it on a monthly basis, the owner (lady) in my opinion, could care less how long you'd stay every time you came over to Lisbon… Bye Read More

I see that you're not interested. No reply. So, I'm going to phone the young lady I know to call it off. Read More

Hello, That was a scam. What's your nationality? Are you already in Lisbon?. I got in touch with a girl who was living in Lisbon GRAÇA (the place). She was living in a very nice room, with a patheo. Once you settle down, then you could ... Read More

Like Catherine here I'm looking to move to Lisbon. I'm a fit & healthy 70 year old retiree (pension) and have dual Australian and UK citizenship. From what i've seen accomodation is the real problem especially in central Lisbon ...

Where to Live in Lisbon by GlenBridge
I am an English speaker thinking of moving to Lisbon, either permanently or part-time. I have visited before for short periods. I am wondering where in Lisbon do the English speakers linv in general. Thanks.
I wouldn't say that there are specific locations where English citizens decide to live. It will also depend on one's income....If you're into "noisy," so to speak, places, then downtown Lisbon (Chiado/Alfama, etc.) might meet ... Read More
Babysitting at weddings in Portugal by LisbonWedding
Hello, My wife and I have booked a wedding venue near Lisbon for next year and we're really excited. However the venue has told us that by law we must hire certified babysitters for the entire event if we have more than 5 children in ...
Hi Dave, I've never heard of such a demand. People I know and who organize such venues/events near Lisbon have never made it a must/obligation....If I were you (in case you haven't already made a down payment), I'd look elsewhere. All ... Read More
New to Sintra and saying hi!! by Rosie 2017
Hi there, I am new to Sintra and am interested in meeting up with women to get into a social scene with a view to longer friendship however I am lost as to where I can start to find like minded English speaking people of a same age group. Please ...
Hey there, Sintra is one of the most breathtaking towns in Portugal. Lord Byron was fascinated by its mystical beauty. You're not too precise regarding your concept of a social scene. I doubt that in Sintra, you'll come across English ... Read More
advice on Lisbon neighborhoods by nyyfan30
Hi everyone, My wife and I will be moving to Lisbon in the next 1-2 years we think and we are starting to think about where to live. We will be buying an apartment, and want to live "in the city", not the suburbs. But, we have a few ...
It will also depend on your budget available to purchase an apartment..... In the vicinity of Colégio Militar's subway, there are some reasonable good apartments and a significant "green área" where you could walk your ... Read More
Americans moving to Lisbon? by nyyfan30
Hi everyone. My wife and I are looking to retire in Europe, via the Golden Visa Program, and we have narrowed it down to Lisbon, Valencia and Barcelona. While we have been to, and love each place, living in a place is very different from being ...
You're welcome. All the best, Margaret Read More

If I were you I'd choose Lisbon. And why? Because, unlike the Spanish, 80% of the Portuguese "manage" to understand and speak English/French,etc. "fluently". And they like to help out, so to speak. I'm bilingual ... Read More
Relocating to Portugal from France by buzzcut
Hello My partner and I currently live and own an apartment in France with our two adjoining shops, one my hair salon and my partners gallery of art and craft which she makes herself. We would welcome advise on whether it would be acceptable to open ...
You're welcome. As for your significant other, she'd be wasting money and time-effort. Tourists are no longer purchasing the so-called souvenirs......People who make such articles have huge problems in selling them.... In Lisbon, Caldas da ... Read More

Hey there, If I were you, I'd have a closer look at what Portugal may have in store for you before thinking of selling up what you already have in France (renting/better option). Don't be too hasty, so to speak (better safe than ... Read More
