While Portugal has always attracted a healthy amount of tourism, it has suffered somewhat from being overshadowed by other European holiday destinations.
It seems that those days may be long gone. Revenues generated from tourism in the country are reaching all-time highs. In addition, Portugal’s unemployment level is currently at a nine-year low.
Due to the “enviable tax situation” Lisbon is the cheapest place to live in Europe. If you are on a budget then you need to spend just $1,300 a month, which included rent, food and more.
