Tips and Advice on Portugal from Your Fellow Danish Expats

Obviously, expat life in Portugal goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. 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.

Wondering where to shop for Danish delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Portuguese InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Denmark.
  • On the Portugal Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get smørrebrød in Lisbon, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Portugal has information on the nearest Danish embassy and many other institutions.

From the Algarve to the Serra da Estrela mountain range, the Douro Valley, you can meet supportive and friendly Danish expats in Portugal on InterNations.
