Is there anyone left in the planet who ISN'T MOVING TO PORTUGAL??? Leave some places for portuguese people. This is getting RIDICULOUS.
😅😅🤭
I'm a retired Expat from the US and I live in Vila do Conde. Close to Porto and the airport , it is perfect for me. The Metro goes to Porto and from there, anywhere in the country by train. I don't have or need a car.
thanks for your comment! never heard about this town 🌞
There should be more, better trains and to more places though.
@@ThisisYuliaPóvoa de Varzim
I hope to do the very same thing, in about five years.
Almada is a good option if you want the benefits of living in Lisboa but without the costs, its just on the other side of the river, all you need is to cross the bridge or the ferry and its even closer to the beaches at Costa da Caparica.
Consider cova da moura, great place, lovely vibe.
I have chosen Madeira to retire. I love the island, the people and the weather is simply perfect. I am closing on my condo in Canico with sea views next months.
I wish to visit Portugal one day
I hope you do visit!
weather in Madeira and in Açores is different. In the south of Madeira you have great temperatures during all year, way better than in the mainland! And this is not an opinion, it's a fact lol
Im Portuguese, and I would sugest Vila do Conde for a outside Porto city
Nice presentation ❤❤🎉🎉
ótimo resumo!
It's great that you share your experience. good job, thank you very much
The best quick review of the towns in Portugal! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Wow, this is really informative overview. Great job.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the wonderful informative information about your beautiful country .Ryan from Ventura California 😃✌️
thanks Ryan!
your opinion and experience are very important to us. Thank you very much for the excellent work
So nice of you!
Everywhere in portugal is great ❤
Thank you. That was a nice overview. I was there last spring for 10 days for an initial scouting trip. I agree with your assessment of Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra. I did not get to Faro. It is nice to hear about the other cities around Lisbon and Porto.
Have the real estate and rent prices started to moderate yet?
Glad it was helpful! As for the prices, not sure. I feel like Lisbon prices are still increasing 😒
Nice video. We live in Nazaré right now and it’s a bit too touristy for us so we’ll probably look North to somewhere like Viana de Castelo
Nazare is a beautiful place but I can only imagine the number of tourists there 🫠 especially during the big wave season
My brother started visiting Portugal and loves it!
I’m glad! Portugal is beautiful 🌊
@@ThisisYulia I know that they especially love the restaurants at night!
Hello, thanks for the beautiful video. Such a nice girl ! )
thanks for your kind words and always a pleasure!
good choices
I'm glad you liked them!
Portugal is a beautiful Country. 👌
& your skill of promoting it made it look even more "Beautiifool" ma'am!!! 😊
I dream to visit the country some day, in this life or the next. 😇
haha thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼 for your video. May I ask why you didn’t choose Lagos ? Cause I’m comparing Lagos and faro for moving
for the list or for myself? I’m a city girl, so I only had 1 option :)
Thank you 😊
What about VISEU, GUARDA and SERRA DA ESTRELA ?
Os Açores seem beautiful and very interesting for People who love thé sea.
I kept them for part 2 😉
Hey Yulia, thanks for the video. I was quiet suprised you didnt mention Leiria!!!!
Why would this city not be a top 10 according to you?
Planing to live there and am quiet curios about your comment. Best wishes to you and thanks in advance.
Hey Natascha, these cities are not "top" cities + unfortunately, I can't fit all the cities in one video. I left Leiria for part 3 of this series 🤫 thank you & all the best to you too!
Évora pode utilizar praias fuviais do Grande Lago Alqueva!
A quantos quilómetros?
I would chose Braga 🙂
Braga is gorgeous!
Excluding Lisbon and Porto, which is fairly affordable and with good job opportunities for one coming with job seeker visa?
Which of the cities closer to Lisbon have a good transport system?
What about Aveiro
but how to survive with lowest wage in europe to live in portugal even for skilled workers do not get paid as much as they can afford to live in studio flat , and the rumours about 40% tax in 2024? can anyone claim that issue?
Why is the sanctuary in Braga infamous? Or do you mean famous?
famous! sorry, been filming for too long haha
One mistake. Madeira has a subtropical, stable and predictable weather, unlike Azores. Also, you have the third or fourth (not sure) largest airport and the BEAUTIFUL sandy island of Porto Santo 15 min by plane or 2h by ferry
thank you!
@@ThisisYulia You MUST visit!
@@mfvieira89 indeed....Porto Santo is a jewel.....I loved Sintra too😅
Now I whish there was something like that video but for Spain.
maybe one day 😏
Spain Speaks is very informative about Spain. Check it.
Viana do Castelo e Covilhã s2
While you're talking about Setúbal you show an image at 0:31 that looks interesting but is definitely not Setúbal. What is that place? It is mistakenly shown again at 0:57. (Comment 10 minutes later: I think that is Porto Covo, which is 140 km from Setúbal...)
thanks for your comment! I’ll pass it to my editor 👋🏼
@@ThisisYulia My advice: fire him with no severance package.
The problem is when people have never visited they have no idea - just purchased videos of random Portuguese city or beach views.
And you do??? Good luck!
The second name is sintra for mountain lovers?
yes, Sintra!
@@ThisisYulia Thank you dear. I will not the name of this city. I am planning to apply next year to move to Portugal as a digital nomad and I am a mountain lover especially high hills overlooking canyons or towns and even beaches. If you heard of additional cities please let me know. God bless !
I love mountains. Which city is recommended?
I think anything up north should be good! not many mountains near Lisbon (except for Sintra)
Braga is surranded by mountains, nearby braga is the beautifull "Parque nacional da Peneda Gerês ", and if you want, you can go to Spain to enjoy the big asturias mountains.
Another 2 cities in mountains are Covilhã and Guarda, both are close to Serra da Estrela, the biggest mountain in mainland Portugal, this 2 cities are calm and slow pace, smaller cities than Braga, they are a bit isolated far from airports and beach, wich you could prefer
The city of Guarda in the heart of Portugal, near the highest continental peak, Torre - Serra da Estrela (mountain chain). There's also a lot of small cities / towns around Guarda, where you can see typical rural life in Portugal, a lot of mountains and a lot of hidden gemns.
"Near" Guarda there's also Covilhã, with a University. About Guarda it has trains to Lisbon but it doesn´t have to Porto for some reason...
A bit up north there's many small cities like Vila Real, Régua, and Amarante, already along the Douro river valley region.
Braga is quite beautiful, though not exactly in a mountanous region, it's close to though to Gerês. And if you go to Gerês please visit fully.... there are places there.
For me the most beautiful city is Viana do Castelo. My only issue with it, is that it doesn´t have a University / academic life. But it's close to the ocean and the Gerês mountains.
I recommend Vila Real if you love mountains. It’s a very small city in North Portugal.
everest )))
Sintra is NOT cheaper than Lisbon
Have you done any research?
yes, it is :) have you?
Coimbra is great 🤩🤩😍😍
Helfire club!
Adoro uma boa fã de stranger things❤
yay 💥💥
Hello madam
Which city is best for job
I'm Naveed from Karachi Pakistan
I love too come to Portugal
Braga its not a Portugal city. Its a Brazilian state!!😅
brincadeira de mau gosto, mas pode enganar alguém...
what about setubal
Setubal is great if you wanna be close to Lisbon!
Madam Yulia, Which city in Portugal is best for international graduate students and has a high-quality English-taught universities?
And how about finding a job after masters for foreigners?
thanks for your question! you can learn more about universities in Portugal here: ua-cam.com/video/P40dGDRv4lg/v-deo.html
Either Coimbra, Porto or Lisbon. We all have international programs in our universities, but in terms of the best international, I would bet Lisbon. Good luck!
Honestly, if you want a university in English teaching, then why not choose a English speaking country instead of Portugal? Also, there’s no job opportunities in Portugal, and the salary is very low. Many Portuguese young people left Portugal and went to other European countries to find a job.
@@annielivesineurope2234 I understand your point of view, but let’s not forget English is the international language of the world, so it is not only spoken (with quality) in English speaking countries… Most people come here for the weather, and the general atmosphere of good people and good food in Portugal, it really is a unique and amazingly beautiful country to live. So why not? Every single country has it’s own flaws, there’s absolutely no perfect place on this earth for our human eye, and that’s ok… Each one of us can choose what fits best with their personality, and maybe Portugal is just the right fit for some ☺️ I hope you enjoyed your time visiting 🇵🇹❤️ Have a lovely Sunday ❣️
Amazing how you don’t mention Viseu, best place to live in Portugal. 3 times best place to live awarded in the last few years.
I can’t put all the good cities in one video 😉 part 2 is coming soon!
It's not because Madeira is an island that it doesn't have white sandy beaches, it's because it's a volcanic island. But if people want white sandy beaches in the Madeira archipelago, they can go to Porto Santo.
It has no decent beach. Zero. Porto Santo is fine for a day. Or two. But nothing else to do. Especially outside summer.
@@videochannel3949 - You didn't get the sarcasm, did you? 😉
Ha, no sorry :)@@module79l28
Madeira have several sand beaches, like Azores
I lived for 3 years on Madeira. There are a few, yes. Not really worth mentioning, but yes, there is sand to be found. Would not call it worth visiting for the beaches though ;). @@colatudoYTube
Angra do Heroísmo, the most beautiful city in the Azores
People should learn to stay in their countries, to stay permanently in one place, to build long-term connections with their land, and long-term relationships where they stay. What's with all the fashionable relocation stuff and the globe-trotting? Why can't people remain still?
why tho? people are searching for a better place for themselves. they wanna see the world and experience life in other countries. you only have one life, why spend it in one place? if you really love that place, sure. but what if you don’t? sounds like a torture to me 👀
Yes that's beauty.
Salazar, the portuguese that was spoiling the world elites plans had a moto: God, mother land & family.
I believe its part of the elite agenda, they set the trends.
One thing I can tell is that foreigners wont fight for or to maintain the "original" culture, traditions and heritage of a country. And then with such a mix of people, its hard to get them all together to fight for a common cause.
is this video is really information or just a click baite? where in Braga you can find beaches when it's no where near the cost line?
the closest beach is 30 min from Braga but I do agree that's incorrect to say that Braga has beaches. I suppose I was thinking about a different city 💀
10 BEST Cities to Live in Portugal in 2024? Onde esta Viseu??
in part 2 😉
I'm glad that you left out the really nice cities to live in here because we, the locals, don't want our places invaded and spoiled by wealthy foreign buyers who will only make property and rent prices go up, making our lives even harder than they are now.
lol
I agree! Missing the boat on many more than these well known cities...Mine is a hidden gem no one talks about and I'm not telling!! But, it's just 30km from Lisboa...
Mafra lol ?
Nope, better! More beautiful, better weather, young and alive, and near the beaches of Ericeira and Santa Cruz...Love it!
Torres Vedras xD ?@@tamaramadelin4831
What ? Braga it's not hot ? 😂 Come here in juli and you'll grill your brain 😂
compared to Algarve, it’s kinda fresh 😂
@@ThisisYulia you'r wrong
The Anglo Saxons went to live in Portugal.. Portugal colonized Brazil.. 🇧🇷
