Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa) is the capital of Portugal situated on seven hills at the wide mouth of the River Tagus (Tejo) where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. So getting around Lisbon can be a workout.

If you’re looking for a place where your children can learn and make friends, Lisbon is one of the best options. There are plenty of good public, private and international schools in this city, with very advanced and competitive curriculums.

It doesn’t get much safer than Lisbon, especially if you consider that this is the capital of an European country with a high population density. Getting around at night, even if you’re by yourself, is considered safe in most areas of the city. This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a stress-free life.

Lisbon’s underground reaches most of the city's neighbourhoods, and you can easily get around town only resorting to this means of transport. However, when it comes to buses, you unfortunately can’t really depend that much on their timetables - waiting times are something people complain about a lot, and there’s some room for improvement. The new Mayor has focused a lot of his efforts on transforming Lisbon into a greener city, mostly by introducing new bicycle routes in the city center - but don’t forget those tricky hills, an electric bike will probably be the best option to get around this charming mediterranean gem. 

The comfort of going straight from work to the beach may or may not have contributed to a 39% sharp rise in new businesses in 2022. It is fair to say that Lisbon’s startup ecosystem has been growing into a standard worldwide, and as the city attracts new talent, it also starts to see the results: innovation, opportunities and progress.
