Picture this: A balmy climate, tranquil seaside vistas, ancient cobblestone streets, and a cost of living that won't break the bank. This is Portugal, an idyllic playground for digital nomads from around the world. From the cosmopolitan allure of Lisbon to the waves of the surf-famous Nazare, Portugal is an affordable yet fulfilling lifestyle destination.

Portugal ranks as one of the most cost-effective destinations in Western Europe. For digital nomads, savings come in the form of lower rent, affordable food, and reasonable transportation costs. On average, a monthly budget of $2000-2500 can provide a comfortable living in most Portuguese cities. The cost can decrease if you opt for a smaller town or the vibrant fishing village, Nazare.

Being a foodie in Portugal won't cost you a fortune. A traditional Portuguese meal in an average restaurant won't set you back more than $10 - $15. Moreover, public transportation in Portugal is efficient and cheap, allowing you to explore the country's hidden gems on a shoestring budget. However, if you are more of an ambler, why not take a stroll along Nazare, known for its splendid beaches and mammoth waves?
