Not only is Lisbon Portugal’s largest and most wealthy city, but it also has the unique distinction of being Europe’s furthest western capital city. With a population of over 2.8 million in Lisbon and the surrounding area, it certainly qualifies as a large city on any scale.

Unlike some of the other cities in Portugal, it is not tourism that drives Lisbon’s economy. Lisbon is a global forerunner in the technology sector as well as a strong leader in mass multimedia, and is also Portugal’s financial district. With all of these healthy industries it is no wonder that Lisbon produces more than 45% of the Gross Domestic Product for all of Portugal. In addition, the per capita GDP is higher in Lisbon than compared to the average per capita GDP for the rest of Europe. These economic factors make Lisbon a very attractive place to live and purchase property.

In addition to a healthy economy, Lisbon also offers a higher standard of living compared to both the rest of Portugal as well as many other countries in Europe. This city offers a wider range of goods and services and the variety of residential communities and properties available in Lisbon far exceeds that of any other Portuguese city. This higher standard of living ensures that many people will continue to be drawn to this city.

Lisbon is a blend of old world meets new. While the city is rich with culture and ancient architecture it is also a celebration of that which is modern. The city is home to a wide variety of both music and theater venues at which a variety of performances are routinely held, and the city has also hosted the world famous Rock in Rio pop-rock festival several times. Art galleries are as much an exhibition of historic pieces as well as modern. The older center of town features preserved historic buildings and architecture while the outskirts boast more modern construction in both the residential as well as commercial areas. This combination of old and new appeals to many who want the aesthetics of a city with old world charm, but who still want access to modern conveniences.

Another major incentive for people wishing to purchase property in Portugal’s primary urban environment is the Monsanto Forest Park. Arguably the largest urban park in Europe, this park adds a wonderful green element to the city. The park is home to the Ecological Park of Lisbon as well as the Monsanto Park Circuit upon which the 1959 Portuguese Grand Prix was raced. The importance of green spaces is held throughout the city and wherever possible parks, nooks, enclaves and gardens are well maintained.

The educational facilities and opportunities in Lisbon are unparalleled compared to the rest of the country. With a variety of both state run and international schools in both non secular and religious environments, many people choose Lisbon as the place to raise their families knowing that the educational opportunities in this city are truly world class. Lisbon is also home to three different universities and a polytechnic institute offering higher education level courses.

Lisbon has grown and developed with a keen eye to infrastructure that makes this large city easy to move around in. From the Portela International Airport to the vast metro, bus and train routes it is simple to get into Lisbon and to move through it. Traveling by car is facilitated by the network of roads and highways that connect Lisbon to the rest of Portugal. Train travel is both economical and efficient and Lisbon has a variety of routes that allow travel between Lisbon and many other cities and areas in Portugal.
