InterNations - A Place for Italians in Lisbon
Buongiorno to all of our Italians in Lisbon! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Italian expats in Lisbon? Are you looking for advice from other Italians, e.g. which bars in Lisbon will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for minestrone?
You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Lisbon. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Italian expats, coming from Rome, Napoli, Milan and all regions of Italy.

The quality of InterNations' members convinced me to join. And I've indeed received a very warm welcome from fellow Lisbon expats..

Why Italian expats move abroad (& how they like it)
Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Italian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.
What Italian expats have to say about living in Lisbon
We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in Lisbon from Italians, grouped into positive and negative opinions.
Let’s start with the positive ones.
On the downside, here's are some negative experiences from Italian expats in Lisbon

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
