Living in Aveiro

Portugal · mediterranean

🌍

Aveiro is a small city of roughly 80,000 people right by the sea in Portugal. The climate is mediterranean. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,550. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for cycling, swimming, food and eating out.

By 2030 something concrete is due to change here: Lisbon–Porto high-speed line. This is one of the places where living off-grid genuinely works, in law and in space. Rents have risen about 58% in five years: anyone arriving today will not find the prices they read about.
