Lisbon - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Sure, if you are looking for an easy expat life, surrounded by other expats. There are good schools, good medical care and good nightlife (in the city); it's safe and consumer goods readily available. - Apr 2021
It's good for everybody. But carefully pick where you live, as it can really affect your experience. You don't want to be a single person stuck way out in the suburbs! - Sep 2016
Great place for everyone. - Aug 2015
Yes. Probably the first place I've served at that has a lot for all family types. - Jul 2015
This posting has plenty for just about everyone. Families with kids seem very happy with the education they get. There is an active night life, with night clubs often pumping until 6 or 7 am (problem is, no dancing starts until around 1 am at the earliest) and a huge drinking district (Bairro Alto) on a hill with dozens of alleys closed to traffic, where revelers spill out onto the streets. There is plenty of family fun too, including parks, museums, amusement parks (the biggest water park in Western Europe is a short drive away). - Jun 2012
All of the above! Even living in the city can be good and easy with children as there are many activities and parks and good family spaces as well as many apartment complexes with common green areas and pools. Commute to the schools, which are all in the suburbs, seems relatively equal no matter where students live. High school students tend to congregate and socialize mainly in Cascais. - Oct 2011
Lisbon is a pretty good city for anyone. It's not the most exciting city in the world (it can be a little sleepy) but it's relatively cosmopolitan. - Aug 2011
It is good for all. - Aug 2010
Yes to all. - Sep 2008
