According to the Guardian, Bonfim, a hip part of town, Porto has one of the 10 coolest neighbourhoods in Europe.
“With city-centre rents skyrocketing, this once-bourgeois enclave is fast finding favour with a young, creative crowd. It is only a 20-minute walk from downtown and handy for primary exit routes: Porto’s main bus terminal and train station are on the doorstep and there’s a metro line to the airport.”
Portugal achieved the best worldwide rank in the 2020 Annual Global Retirement Index.
This is due to the great combination of Health support, cost of living and climate.
Yahoo Finance points out that “The quality of life in Portugal is really extraordinary today.”
Moreover Portugal is also one of the top-3 most peaceful countries in the world.
These features combined lead to a great location for people to retire.
