Soft Landing: Your First Day in Lisbon
The day-one walk we wish someone had given us: how the city works, where locals shop and how to get your basics sorted.
Moving country is a pile of small things: a transport card, a neighbourhood, a sentence, a dinner. We put our experiences in the order you will need them.
Transport card, SIM, groceries, your first prato do dia. Learn how the city works before you sign anything.
Soft Landing: Your First Day in Lisbon →Walk the neighbourhoods at the hours you would live there and take a local to your viewings.
Neighbourhood Scout: Find Your Lisbon →Café, market, pharmacy, post office. A few phrases change how people treat you.
Portuguese for Real Life: Street Class →One long table every Thursday, and weekends out of the city with other newcomers.
Tasca Supper Club for Newcomers →We are not lawyers, accountants or an estate agency. We explain daily life; for visas, taxes and contracts we recommend a licensed professional and the official sources.
The day-one walk we wish someone had given us: how the city works, where locals shop and how to get your basics sorted.
Moving here? We visit four neighbourhoods picked from your brief, at the hours you would actually live in them.
Bonfim or Matosinhos, river or sea? Four areas of Porto matched to how you want to live.
A day to see what life costs and feels like an hour from Lisbon: a city with a castle, a market town and a fishing village on the Atlantic.
Order a bica, ask the pharmacist, sort a parcel at the post office. The phrases you need this week, practised where you need them.
We come with you to rental viewings in Lisbon, Porto or Leiria, translate, ask the questions locals ask and spot what photos hide.
We explain the everyday steps in plain words (NIF, bank account, SIM, transport) during our experiences. We are not lawyers: for visas, residence and tax we recommend a licensed professional and the official sources.
Yes. Most experiences finish by early afternoon or start after work, and every page shows when you will be back. Private options can start when it suits you.
No. Our neighbourhood scouts and viewing days are independent: we help you understand areas and ask the right questions, and we take no commission from landlords or agents.
