Tips and Advice on Portugal from Your Fellow Danish Expats

Socializing with fellow Danes is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Portuguese mentality and way of life. Danes in Portugal are a part of our community, calling cities such as Porto, Faro, Lisbon, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Danes in Lisbon, for example.
