Budget guide
We work across central Portugal within roughly 50 km of Lisbon. The examples and prices below refer to this area.
In Lisbon, €2,000 or more can rent a small one- or two-bedroom apartment in areas such as Benfica, Entrecampos, Beato, Lumiar or Ajuda, or a small studio in the city centre.
Across the river in Barreiro, Montijo or Almada, that budget can get you a T2 apartment of up to 120 m².
As a rule, these are unfurnished flats, but with a fitted kitchen and built-in wardrobes.
Modern districts have well-developed transport accessibility and retail infrastructure.
In Lisbon, €2,500–€3,000 can rent a T1–T2 apartment in central areas such as Estrela, Campo de Ourique, Príncipe Real or Baixa, or in Parque das Nações.
These apartments are furnished, equipped with air conditioning and central heating, and have a balcony or a small terrace. The price of some may include a space in the underground car park.
In suburbs such as Algés or Amadora, for this amount you can expect to get a 3-bedroom flat with a parking space.
In Lisbon, €3,500 or more can rent a T1–T3 apartment in almost any area of the city.
Such flats as a rule have high-end finishes, designer renovation, are equipped with premium appliances, and come with parking and a storage room for bicycles and surfboards.
For €3,500–€4,500, you can also rent an apartment in Cascais within walking distance of the beach and with an ocean view.
From €4,500, you may also be able to rent a villa with a private pool in Cascais, Sintra or Costa da Caparica.
