Working in Lisbon
Lisbon has more than 50 confirmed work-friendly venues in NomadSpots, from Príncipe Real, Mouraria, Chiado, and Intendente out to Cascais and Oeiras along the coast. WiFi in dedicated coworking spaces reliably hits 100 Mbps. Cafés vary more, but most spots in the central neighborhoods have stable enough connections for video calls. Prices are reasonable by Western European standards: a coffee and a pastel de nata runs about 3 euros and nobody rushes you out. Summers get hot and busy, so seats fill up by 11 am. Go early or head to the quieter spots in Mouraria.
