Portugal offers possibly the lowest cost of living in Western Europe. Just about everything, from accommodation to groceries, is affordable. Food costs are generally low and many cities and towns in Portugal, including Lisbon, continue to have large, thriving traditional markets, as well as supermarkets. A couple’s grocery budget can run from about $200 a month, depending on how you choose to buy. Of course, if you opt for a more luxurious night out, there are variations, but generally the cost of living is affordable yet immensely comfortable.
