Living abroad and immersing yourself in a new community has its challenges. According to NomadList, the world’s largest community for Digital Nomads, Porto is ranked as the #3 of the best places to live in, having previously occupied the #2 position for a long time. With great English proficiency and what some say are some of the friendliest locals ever, as well as a ton of international communities in the city and an ever-growing expat influx, Porto is super friendly to newcomers and to people who want to be a part of what the city has to offer.

“Invicta”, as it is called for the unwavering quality of its people and the city itself, continues to be a place where local traditions are treasured and where local people are still a part of the fabric of the city and want to share that with everyone that is curious about what makes Porto so special to them! Expats consider Portugal the 5th best country to live and work in 2021, besides being the 4th safest country in the world and second in the European Union.

Even though Porto is most famous for its quirky downtown streets and eateries, vibrant nightlife and culture, and as being the premier destination if you want to sample some of the best Port Wine, it is also a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts and people who want to explore outside the city center, especially if your passion is the ocean. With a long tradition of water sports including Surfing, Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, as well as Sailing, in and around the city there is no shortage of amazing beaches to explore and to practice your favorite sport.

With +500 startups based in the city, including 2 of Portugal’s Startups with Unicorn status having original ties to the city, Farfetch and Sword Health, plus two others, Feedzai and Talkdesk, with local branches in the city, Porto is quickly becoming a key player in the Portuguese tech scene.
