Portugal has become one of the most popular destinations in Europe for retirees from North America, and for good reason.

Boasting over 300 days of sunshine each year, affordable living and heath care, a large expat network, stunning scenery and beaches, an easy visa process and English is widely spoken.

Porto Portugal’s second largest city, three-hours north of Lisbon is Porto. Situated on the Douro River, this is the port wine making region of the country. Rich in culture and history this is another part of Portugal where English is common making it easy to fit in. From great shopping along Rua Santa Catarina to local cuisine, excellent healthcare, a large expat community, and cooler climate this could be the perfect place to call home.

Lagos A few hours south of Lisbon is the Algarve region with some of the warmest weather in the country. The town of Lagos has retained much of its charm with a tiled plaza in the old town and remnants of a fort perched along the waterfront. The coastline offers spectacular vistas of grottoes, rock formations and caves that can be explored by hiring a boat.

Now, let’s have a look at a few places where settling in as an expat may not be so easy and perhaps, should be avoided.

Visa is gone in a snap

Eu intende engles

It is better than coming to America.

Beautiful place indeed, but would be really difficult to live there if you’re not mobile - lots of stairs and steep slopes so not wheelchair friendly for sure, and in most of these places walking is the primary means of getting around

i've surfed all over Portugal for 3 months a year for the last 7 out of 10 winters. Heading back there in 3 weeks. I won't say where I go but I will say it is damn fun.

I'm in, independently wealthy so how do I get in.

I really liked Tavira, but of I were to choose a place in Portugal to settle down, it would probably be Coimbra, which isn't on this list.

Portugal a piece of heaven I love it

RhinoTroy considering it? went last year for the 2nd time, some great spots. was v hot

You forgot to mention the islands of Madeira and Azores. In fact Azores is half way between USA and Europe and it's a beautiful and peaceful place to visit and live.

I have a 4 bedroom duplex with 2000 sq ft to sell for 350000 dollars near Lisbon ( 10 miles) , 200 meters from the water and this beautiful beach

Je préfère la méditerranée.

What is the cost of housing?

But the weather is so hot according to the BBC that you will be dead from the heat in a couple of days.

Your article should just say that because of capitalism you can't afford to retire in the United States. Either go broke from paying for healthcare or die early.

Typo: (heath care)

How about this

5 places where english is spoken and 2 where its not.

Didn’t Madeline McCann get kidnapped there.
