Portuguese Language Study Group - Sesimbra by 1World Traveler
My Portuguese sucks, and I'm sure that I am not the only English speaker with inadequate language skills. I also really miss the traditional American/English - Breakfast/Brunch. I am interested in hosting a language study group in my home in ...
No so maybe the 8 June date will give them a chance to organize themselves and join us. Read More

Actually, you can use street view to visualize the surrounding area and approaches. A very useful tool. Walk down to the water front. From the fort, face the water and turn right. About half way to Ribamar is where the club is. It looks like I am ... Read More

Let's shoot for a drink at a beach/boulevard bar first just to get things going. How about Sunday, 14.00 at Cafe Velvet. They have free wifi and reasonable prices. Read More
Moving to Portugal soon! by Federico87
Hi there! I'm an italian expat and I have been living in the Middle East for the past couple of years. My job is now taking me to Portugal and more in particular in Cascais. So.... I am looking for useful information on all the aspects of daily ...
imovirtual.pt has an easy to navigate site with lots of options but you do need some Portuguese to navigate it. I rented a vacation accommodation for 6 months while searching for somewhere to live. I negotiated the price to 650 Euros per month, ... Read More

When the weather gets better it should be easier to get something going. Desiree should be willing to drive in from Azeitao, Sander from the Hague (we are waiting on you Sander!) and I can get in from Azoia. I think it is just a question of setting ... Read More

Not only is Portuguese not easy, the Sesimbra dialect is difficult even for Portuguese from as near as Zambujal! And Sander, why do the flags show you have gone from PT back to NL? Way too cold. And I am back and ready to take part in something ... Read More
Places to visit in Lisbon by Julie
Hi, For the ones living in Lisbon, what would you suggest to discover the region? When you have friends or family visiting you, where do you go with them? What are the must-see places in Lisbon, the tourist sites? How to visit the region in an ...
I forgot to mention the Oceanario! This was the second largest aquarium in the world in 2004 when I first saw it. It has now fallen to a lowly top 10 in the world...well worth the money and the time. Read More
New here by olkjfe
I am new to Lisbon and looking for people to meet to go out with and enjoy the city. I am from America but I am portuguese so I speak both languages.
OK. I live in the Sesimbra area but am away in Africa for the moment. I won't be able to get into Lisbon until sometime mid February for coffee or wine and chats. I am amazed at how quiet the board has been to your call for contact though. Read More

I like the tourist buses for a first recon of a town. You pass most areas of interest, get an idea of what you will see and it lets you plan the rest of your visit based on what you have seen. Go up to the castle via bus or tourist tram, when you ... Read More
Retiring to Portugal.... places to consider. by Thornbird
Hi all, I am new to this site and hope that someone out there can give me some valuable advice. My hubby and I plan to move to Portugal and spend our retirement years in the sun, rather than freeze in good old England, however this won't be ...
Hi PM. I chose not to go with the expat ghettos of the Algarve. We live south of Lisbon and west of Setubal. We have been here for 2 years now and love it. I highly advise renting a house/apartment in a central location for 6 months as we did and ... Read More

Moving abroad - Lisbon or Porto?! by MikeyMcD
Hey, IÂ’m a 24 year old Scot and will be moving away come January/February to live in Portugal for some time. Not sure how long at the moment but should be at least 6 months. Right now, IÂ’ve narrowed it down to Lisbon or Porto. Obviously IÂ’ll do ...
Quite simply, the further north in Portugal, the wetter it is. That translated is less sun and cooler. Beaches south of the Tagus/Tejo are some of the best in Europe. For surfing, Nazare is the hot spot of the world right now for big waves but to ... Read More

The universities in Portugal all have courses for incoming students each year. They are tuned to your level based on an incoming test. I just took a month summer course in Coimbra at the Uni and know that they have courses in Feb and September as ... Read More
