Hello, I have been living in porto for the last 9 months. I am spending on rent about 250 euros. Its a shared room in a house. One can get for even less, but the space and comfort might be an issue. And the transport is based on zones here, so bit complicated and I have a Z4 that covers four zone cost about 48 euros per month. Coming to the food, based on your lifestyle. I cook mostly and take my lunch to office sometimes so I spend around 200 euros on food per month. and drinks and partying as much as you can. You can enjoy with less than 100 too, there are places you can hangout all the time. Hope it helps some people who are looking to move to porto. ( this is for a single guy)

Its impossible to put a price on a 6Mbps internet connection in Portugal, since the minimum is 30 MBps (at least since 2013), and with a TV channel pack included (from 60 to 140 TV channels). All this (30Mbps, average 100 tv channels) costs from 25,90€ to 35.90€.

So, 6Mbps, internet only costs an average 5€.

Hi all,
I want to relocate to Portugal this year.
Looking for a safe, quiet and not expesive place in Portugal. Fishing its my pasion, so must be closer fron the beach or a river (lake). The employment opportunities are not important for me becouse I'm freelancer.
Thanks in advance for all sugestions.
Best regards :)
