South of Lisbon is the port city of Setúbal, which has not been talked about or thought about very much until really recently. Josh and Kalie from ExpatsEverywhere take you all around the city to find out what it has to offer and if it could be a place that you want to live in here in Portugal. Its lower cost of housing and proximity to Lisbon could make it the perfect home for you to seek great value for money.

I live in Setúbal and I have mixed feelings when I see this type of videos. If on one side I really get glad that the city gets known, on the other hand I just think on how bad it gets for locals when tourists come in at an high rate - housing prices will continue to shoot up (more than doubled over the last 4 years) and gets impossible for local people to live here...and if "setubalenses" don't live here, you won't get "that feeling". Anyway, it's a nice place indeed. Cheers!

@ExpatsEverywhere 2 года назад

Thanks, Ricardo. From what we've been told from realtors, it's not "tourists" that are pushing up the prices, it's Lisbonites selling there and moving south. - Josh & Kalie

The ‘Lisbonites ‘ are moving to Setúbal and other smaller cities because of rise in costs caused mostly by expats , moving in to Lisbon at record breaking speeds from England , Germany , France , China, USA, etc !

Too bad you guys didn´t showcase Tróia and Arrábida range, for me, it´s impossible to think of Setúbal without thinking of Tróia and Arrábida !! Also, the commuter takes about 1h from Setúbal to Lisbon but there´s no risk of catching traffic on it, it has comfortable seats with AC on every carriage and crossing the 25th April bridge on the train and enjoying the view for me almost makes it worth the ride.

The city of Setubal and surrounding areas (Palmela, Arrabida, Quinta do Anjo) are very well establish for decades among the portuguese people for wonderful weekends, beach day out or holidays. Fantastic flat sea to swim, amazingly good sand, vibrant vibe all around (not sure now with pandemic and restrictions) food heaven places all prices and ranges and list goes on and on. So, when you guys say it is an upcoming area, that`s not true unless you talking about mass tourism. I do hope tourism keep visiting the area but at moderate rate.

Setúbal definitely ticks all the boxes for me. Living in a place like this is the best way to integrate and savor authentic Portuguese life. I like its close proximity to Lisbon, the cost of living, weather, seafood, beaches, outdoor activities, and that you don't really need a car. Thanks for presenting this hidden gem, I so appreciate the good information. P.S. When do you normally post your viewers' survey for future destinations, I seem to have missed them.

Thanks for sharing this video. It is always nice to hear good things about your country. I also lived abroad a biga part of my life. I think Portugal has good and bad things, but maybe something that I think it is important to mention is that portuguese people are very sympathetic, they always say hello and help if you ask for... The food is nice, but I think you should check seafood like "Ameijôas" or "Sapateira" or "Massada de Peixe", these dishes are cooked in a portuguese way, which you might like. I also agree with the car, it is easier to live with a car in Portugal, due to traffic, buses might get late, and via car you can enjoy amazing views like the ones provided when crossing the bridges. Some places can be cheap if you know where to look, you can have lunch in Lisbon for 4 euros if you know the tricks, and there are many cofees, restaurants, bars and discos to enjoy. If you like to live in a calm place without traffic and space, Setubal is nice. Another thing about Setubal is that in 2 minutes by car you can enjoy the forest and farm life, which is super calm, there are beautiful beaches if you go down the road to Algarve, some hidden by the trees. In Alentejo there are beaches that are so beautiful that you may relax you spirit, like the "Aivados" beach or "Zambujeira do Mar", the places where people from Libon pass the change of the year. The water is cold compared to the mediterranean sea, but one thing that I like is that you can work and study at the same time, or take online university courses. You might find more english speaking people in the Algarve, the architecture there has some arabic influence and things are also calm. And the portuguese shopping centers have lots of things like cheap cinemas compared with the US. I hope more people like you decide to move to this country and that you enjoy this country. Godspeed.

Very pretty area, only so far I'm still happy with the area we chose (Caldas da Rainha). For those ex-pats wanting a car - it's an easy process and the same as buying from a dealer in most countries. We bought directly from Nissan and chose the 2021 Juke. Dealer helped with insurance and yes if we weren't being frugal, we would have bought the Mini - which is the perfect sized car for European cities. OH...and the land transfer tax is surprisingly high (almost cost the same as the car).

I’m from FL 😄🌞So I like to live in a little warmer climate , but not to touristy south . I would like to know if there’s great hair salons and nail salons in Portugal ? As well as nice clothes boutiques ? Thank you for all of the wonderful information that you’ve provided on the various cities in Portugal 🇵🇹 ♥️

Hey!!! 😊 Thank you very much for compliment! This is Josh btw. I'd love for you to shoot Kalie an email at info@expatseverywhere.com and ask her about the hair and nail salons in Portugal as well as the nice clothing boutiques. I would like to say "Yes" to all three but maybe you'd like her opinion more. 😁 😅 - Josh & Kalie

It could be that I have overworked my joking around about being your driver? If that's the case I do apologize. Speaking of Movin,' I am headed to Long Beach just next to LA. I finished my Masters degree and need to work about 3 more years before I can cash in my chips.

@droops63 3 года назад

Really appreciated this, because when everyone was voting on destinations we were talking about how little there was on Setúbal. Sounds enchanting in many ways. Also like that it's up and coming. It isn't THAT far from Lisbon and I have to wonder if the city and region grow that more connections with Lisbon will happen as a result. BTW, the ocean looks to be more like a protected bay. Did the water seem calmer, and/or warmer, than being right on the coast?

@arturjcrebelo3275 3 года назад

Around Lisbon is the cheapest and one the most beautiful (not the city itself) but the nature. They mention one protected area only (the Arrábida national park), but there are the Sado Estuary Natural Reserve that for me is amazing and beautiful, in half of the time there are Flamingos there and Dolphins all year in the river. One the best spots in Europe to bird watch. And they forget to mention the Troia peninsula and Comporta with beautiful beaches you have a boat from Setubal to cross to the other side of the Sado river.

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

Thank you. We agree and we're so happy that it was voted #1. We were also glad to see Cascais but it seemed like an obvious place.

Is Uber or similar ride sharing services available at a low cost in Setúbal? Can this be a good alternative to having a car to occasionally go outside the center of town?

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

Hi Hubert, thank you very much for the nice compliment. Bolt is a car service here that we don't often use but it's probably a little cheaper than Uber if you're being thrifty. It's a decent alternative but it just depends on how often you want to visit those little towns. - Josh & Kalie

@tonyokelly6695 2 года назад

Focusing on the city gives a restricted view, the bigger picture here is the Setubal Peninsula. The coast road from Setubal to Sesimbra with the sea on one side and mountain covered in trees is spectacular. Sesimbra is a lovely town right on the beach. Further north is Caparica, it has a massive beach with a very long promenade (at least a few KLM’s), great for walking in the cooling breeze off the Atlantic. A great place for hiking and horse riding is the Parque Natural da Arrábida. The pousada in Palmela town has fantastic views by day and by night, you can see Setubal to the South right up to Lisbon to the north. Brilliant shopping centers or “forums” in Setubal, Montijo, Almada, Coina, Rio Sul. Of course Lisbon with everything it has to offer is just 40 mins away. In summary anywhere is a great location on this peninsula. I’m speaking from experience, our place is in Quinta do Anjo.

@maxgnr 2 года назад

I have been considering living in Setúbal when I get to Portugal in a few months. Is there free street parking in the downtown/river area? I can't seem to find nice rentals that include parking in my price range. I saw some nice places in very narrow streets, but I cant fathom where I would park a car in that area.

Ola Josh and Kalie 👋 Totally agree with your observations about Setubal. Gritty yet gorgeous. I would totally expat that! Or at least visit for a while again. Wondering if you find driving on Portuguese roads as nerve-wracking as I do? Everyone drives so fast! Will you get to Troia? Better than Comporta in my opinion- and Comporta is so beautiful. Love to Sia and Pincho. ❤️

I’d like to hear you include cycling as a transportation option. Right now you talk about car vs no car. But a bike can make a huge difference, say if you want to go to the beach. Many people are finding an electric bike covers most of their local transportation needs. If I move to Portugal I’d definitely try to make shopping and local trips with an electric bike.

@diogosimoes1031 2 года назад

Just what we needed... expats coming to other areas and raising rent prices for locals. Don't get me wrong. I love that tourists love my country but this really doesnt help rent prices.

@ExpatsEverywhere 2 года назад

If we're being honest, Diogo, it's probably tourist that are raising the rents more than expats. What we're seeing is that foreign investors (that don't live here) are purchasing properties for the AL market, which could be rented to a mix of tourists and expats renting for the medium term, but nightly rates provide greater ROI and will allow people to make more money if they charge higher prices, which is making the market a bit crazy. At least in Porto (were we understand the market better), AL permits are being really limited by government regulation. The puzzling thing is that taxes on long-term rentals is higher for the property owner than AL so it makes more sense to want to have an AL than a long-term rental.

@chicagomike 3 года назад

It’s a beautiful town but the area is one of the best in Portugal. There is the fabulous beaches around comporta which is largely unknown to non Portuguese. Arrabida is lovely and Cabo espichel on my favorites in all of Portugal. Rents are not inexpensive but about $700 for a decent place more or less in the city center, according to idealista. One bedroom.

@Ferreira019760 2 года назад

Is it just with hanging bridges or with all types of bridges? To cross the river Tejo you have some options: 25 de Abril bridge (very similar to the famous golden gate in San Francisco) either by car or by train under the tray, Vasco da Gama bridge which pretty much feels like a highway (driving in a sedan you hardly realise you are over the water) and you can always get a ferry. It’s a tricky thing dealing with phobias, but those are essentially your options to cross over to Lisbon. Hope that helps, best of luck.

@TinaD-qm6mu 2 года назад

@@Ferreira019760 Yes it's kind of all types of bridges but mostly suspension over large bodies of water.

Agree with Josh & Kalie, 'near the coast' along the Atlantic facing areas, not easy to find, on the other hand it is a welcome relief in the hotter days in Summer (appreciated by all, the cooling effect), making air conditioning un-necessary. The Algarve is very much favoured for that reason, since it is protected by the hills along its northern border with Alentejo. There exceptions, however, based on the construction of the property, whether and its solar exposition. Also along the coast in the Alentejo Province, due to the lack of hills, the strength of the wind tends to be less troublesome.
