nomadPORTUGAL · LAND SOFTLY
MOVING TO PORTUGAL

Your first month, week by week

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.

Week 1Land softly

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 →
Week 2Choose where to live

Walk the neighbourhoods at the hours you would live there and take a local to your viewings.

Neighbourhood Scout: Find Your Lisbon →
Week 3Speak the basics

Café, market, pharmacy, post office. A few phrases change how people treat you.

Portuguese for Real Life: Street Class →
Week 4Find your people

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.

FAQ

Do you help with visas or residence permits?

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.

Can I book around my working hours?

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.

Are you a real estate agency?

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.
