InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Lisbon

Hello to all Americans in Lisbon! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Lisbon? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Lisbon which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st■ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: Lisbon is a city steeped in history and tradition, with lots to offer for expats. The Portuguese capital is a dynamic city known for its immense cultural wealth, stunning architecture, music, cuisine, and much more! With the tram, bus, metro, and funicular services, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in Baixa or Parque de Nações, for example, which are both a 30-minute journey away from Lisbon’s center.

Although Lisbon has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Lisbon, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Connect at Our Events in Lisbon

In most communities, there are also monthly Newcomers’ Events especially for those who have recently joined the American community in Lisbon. Take this chance to mingle and meet other expats and global minds in Lisbon.
