Lisbon

Lisbon is the vibrant capital of Portugal, a city steeped in history and increasingly popular with remote workers. As of 2024, the city proper is home to around 575,000 people, with a wider metropolitan population exceeding 3 million. Uniquely positioned as mainland Europe’s westernmost capital, Lisbon offers a compelling blend of affordability, culture, and a growing digital nomad community.

Founded millennia ago and shaped by Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors, Lisbon’s past is visible in its architecture and winding streets. Today, it functions as Portugal’s political and economic hub, hosting a significant international diplomatic presence. Expect a dynamic atmosphere, a thriving startup scene, and easy access to both city life and the Atlantic coastline – including the westernmost point of continental Europe at Cabo da Roca.
