These are great tips! Lisbon has been my home base for the past year now, and I can relate to all five of these points (well, maybe not No. 1, since I have a Portuguese bank card ;-)). If you’re still looking for podcasts that teach European Portuguese, there’s one called “Practice Portuguese”. And if you’re at a level where you can benefit from listening to real conversations in Portuguese, I recommend “Portugueses no Mundo”.

Good article, Jamie. We enjoyed it a lot along with your pics. Thanks for the 5 Tips. We were planning a return to Lisbon for 3 months leaving mid-December to set up a home base in the city, enjoy the cuisine, culture, shop with locals, use public transportation and do some day trips to nearby towns and several over-nighter’s. We had a very hard time searching for reasonable and affordable apartments at a flat monthly rate. Most everything we found – owners asked for a nightly rate. The amount for 90-days was way too costly. It seems apartment owners find it more profitable renting to tourists who come and go for weekends – maybe a week or two at the most. No help from listings on Airbnb, Homeaway, Homestay, Flipkey, Tripadvisor, etc. All the companies list an owner’s apartment at the nightly rate. Travelers like us who rent apartments for a month and more are shut out in some European cities (Lisbon) – unlike in Rome where we rented a lovely apartment near the Spanish Steps at a flat monthly rate from December 2015 through March 2016.
