Savills has compiled the Executive Nomad Rating, which includes 15 destinations for remote management workers. All of them either have a digital nomad visa program or, in the case of the United States and European countries, are already part of a large economic bloc that allows free movement within it. All the places that have taken the top positions offer a favorable year-round climate, high quality of life and a developed luxury housing market.
Why Lisbon? Lisbon leads due to the high quality of life it offers. Low pollution and a favorable climate are also advantages. Lisbon offers good transport links thanks to the international airport.
Quote. "Young professionals usually rent small apartments in the city center. While families are looking for bigger homes in Lisbon or Cascais, a coastal community with the best international schools," says Ricardo Garcia, head of residential real estate at Savills Portugal.
"Tech executives and entrepreneurs are also attracted by the status as a technology hub city. Real estate costs are low and there is a strong local talent pool. Companies are moving their headquarters to Portugal," the expert adds.
