Lisbon has more sunshine than Madrid, Rome or Athens. It is full of great places to eat super-fresh seafood. You can always find a cozy place where you can chill in the cool modernist neighborhoods. It is not just the weather, Lisbon’s public gardens are filled with lush tropical foliage. There are many good restaurants, pubs, bars playing “bossa nova” and serving all types of drinks during night and day.

The transportation options are flexible. Every expat knows about the little yellow street cars. But the best way to get around is with the city trams.
