Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, and like Rome or Istanbul, the city is built on seven hills on the banks of the Rio Tejo.
Lisbon is by many considered an entryway to Europe, and accessible by air, water and six highways. The infrastructure in Lisbon is extremely sophisticated, and the metro service is both cheap and efficient. Lisbon is well known for its lively nights, beautiful architecture and historical heritage. This diverse Portuguese city offers more than one can see in just one visit; which is probably part of the reason Lisbon is popular with investors and frequently returning visitors.
Stroll through Lisbon’s charming streets, and catch your breath at one of the hundreds street side cafes or restaurants. Lisbon manages to captivate thousands of visitors every year with its rich cultural backdrop and elaborate art galleries and museums. It is above all a very picturesque city, with colourful buildings and cobblestone streets as well as a variety of churches dating as far back as the 13th century.
Around Lisbon a variety of new developments have started to alleviate the pressure on the property market. With more and more international investors realizing the great value and potential returns Lisbon offers, the property market has become somewhat strained over the past years. This has inevitably caused great capital appreciations and an even greater interest from international investors. As Portugal is also a member of the European Union it enjoys a stable economy and EU laws. Lisbon is one of the world’s most popular destinations, and investors have discovered that property is easily rented out for extended periods at a time, making Lisbon a very attractive investment location. |
