Living costs in Lissabon, Portugal?

[Gabryel Karolin]

'lo

I'm thinking of fleeing the country for a while due to being bored out of my mind.

How's Portugal this time of year? Expensive? I'm thinking a relatively cheap hotel but with Internet and without people sticking needles in their arms. In Lissabon.

Lisbon? You can just walk away from your country at any time due to being bored?

The best advice I can give is Portugal's wiki page. You can get pretty much any information you want from there.

The last I traveled to both Portugal and Sweden was in 2005, and all I can tell you is that Portugal was incredibly cheaper than Sweden. You could go to fancy restaurants for 15-20 euros, for instance, which is the price of a McDonald cheeseburger in Sweden

More a change of scenery, I'd take work with me.

Not expensive, especially not at this time of of the year, it's the low season for tourism. I can't make recommendations about hotels, being a resident I never had a motive to try any

What kind of change in scenery did you had in mind, anyway? The only thing I can add now is a warning that the weather has been boringly wet around here for the last few days, and likely to continue that way...
