Why Lisbon?

Lisbon blends old-world European charm with modern comforts — all while offering a mild climate, walkable neighborhoods, a strong expat presence, and access to world-class healthcare. As Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon gives retirees the chance to explore history, culture, cuisine, and community — all while living at a slower, more affordable pace than many major cities in North America.

What Makes Lisbon Ideal for Retirees?

Enjoy 300+ days of sunshine per year with warm summers and mild winters.

Live without a car in neighborhoods like Alfama, Graça, and Campo de Ourique — where markets, cafés, and parks are within walking distance.

Public and private hospitals are centrally located, affordable, and expat-friendly. English-speaking doctors are common in private clinics.

Retirees can enjoy comfortable monthly living from ~$2,200–$3,000 depending on housing type and lifestyle.

Especially among younger generations, hospitality staff, and healthcare professionals.

 

Lisbon is among the safest capital cities in Europe, with low violent crime and good infrastructure for seniors.
