LISBON PROVIDES AN AMAZING QUALITY OF LIFE
Lisbon has a lovely relaxed pace of life which is hard for more hectic European capitals to replicate, locals are inclusive and friendly, and if you shop around you can still find restaurants serving a tasty three course meal for less than coffee and cakes for two costs on a UK high street.
In the latest Mercer quality of living city ranking, Lisbon placed ahead of cities like Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, New York and London, and was praised for its economic stability, low unemployment rate, healthy export scene and robust levels of foreign direct investment.
If you’re considering Lisbon as a base for doing business in Portugal and throughout the EU, top industries here include tourism, defence, space and aeronautical, construction, automotive, creative and cultural industries, fashion, food and agriculture, health and life sciences, tech/digital and more. Plus, Lisbon and other towns, cities and rural areas around Portugal are proving increasingly popular for digital nomads who can work from anywhere on earth provided they have a laptop and high-speed internet connection.
Whether you’re moving to Lisbon from elsewhere in Portugal or further afield, and for personal or business reasons (or both), opportunities abound to live your best life here!
