It's impossible to pay rent in Lisbon while earning median salary as one person (855€ average rent for 1 bedroom apartment vs 1200€ median salary).
At this point, there's no reason for anyone new to go live there.
- siquick 4y agoMy partner and I moved to Lisbon about 6 years ago. We lasted 3 months after it became clear that the rent was more expensive than what we had just been paying in Sydney.
