By Choice
Portugal has a way of making people stay.
Some come for the sunshine and the coastline. Others discover the food, the cities, the culture or the slower pace of everyday life. For many, a first visit eventually becomes something more permanent: a new home, a new business, a new chapter.
By Choice was created for the people who choose Portugal
We are a blog dedicated to helping foreigners discover, understand and experience Portugal, whether you are planning your first visit, considering a move or already calling the country home.
More than a guide to Portugal
Portugal is much more than its most famous destinations.
Beyond Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve, there are historic cities, quiet towns, local traditions, regional food, emerging neighbourhoods and different ways of living that are often harder to discover from the outside.
That is why By Choice explores Portugal from different perspectives. We look at the places worth knowing, the food worth trying, the lifestyle worth experiencing and the practical things you need to understand when building a life here.
From finding the right city to understanding the Portuguese property market, from discovering local gastronomy to navigating relocation, our goal is to make Portugal easier to understand.
