We’re considering moving our family to Portugal next summer after several years of living in different European cities. The main attraction is having a slower pace of life without giving up access to larger cities when needed. Our children are old enough to have opinions about the move, which has made the decision much more complicated than simply choosing somewhere we like. We’re also trying to understand which practical issues tend to surprise families after settling there. What do families usually wish they had researched before becoming expats in Portugal?
