Life in Portugal varies from region to region. The main urban hubs, Lisbon and Porto, are the epicenters of culture, sport, and business, while the southern Agave region, spanning from the Atlantic to Spain, is the country’s hotbed for expats – offering an alternative to the Costa del Sol. The coast offers the classic, relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, while the rural regions inland contain the serene beauty of vineyards and rustic living. Generally, the country is known for its climate, welcoming locals, delicious cuisine, and very high quality of life – making it an attractive destination for entrepreneurs, investors, families, as well as retirees.
