Top cities to live in Portugal for Expats - Porto

Travelling the world as a tourist is one thing, moving to some other country and settling in is completely different and might be a challenging task.

Living abroad, away from home, in a relatively different culture with new people is what an ex-pat experiences.

When an ex-pat moves to a new country, his / her world changes completely, as they have to adapt to a new culture, lifestyle and local traditions.

But where to live is certainly a major concern an ex-pat has while settling abroad.

Reasonable and affordable cost of living, better job opportunities, suitable climate, friendly environment and many other such factors are one’s priority.

As we already know Portugal is turning out to be one of the most likely places for an ex-pa to settle in.

Be it the most reasonable cost of living, healthy job opportunities, beautiful landscapes with breathtaking views, peaceful atmosphere, or weather-friendly environment, the reasons are infinite.

The majority of towns and cities in Portugal can provide for the ex-pat amazing opportunities of living.

Let’s have a look at which Portuguese cities are most favourable for an ex-pat to settle in and get their lives sorted.

This blog is about Porto

The second-largest city (just after Lisbon) is Porto and a lot of ex-pats look forward to settling in Porto due to its charming neighbourhoods, fairly low cost of living with a balanced pace of life and fantastic food (have you ever tried its Francesinha?)

A city rich in history, tradition, and culture with a warm climate and friendly citizens attracts ex-pats to settle in here.

Porto is considered the most convenient place to live in Portugal, due to its quality of living.

From rents to food, entertainment education, Porto is very much affordable (especially if you run from the most touristic areas) as compared to other western countries.

Being the second-largest city of Portugal, Porto provides an infinite number of job opportunities for better standards of living.

Various tourist spots, a variety of entertainment places and beautiful scenery make Porto a city that needs to be considered for an ex-pat.
