What do I need to know before moving to Evora?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Evora, they said...
"Expats moving to Evora, should be aware of the city's rich history and cultural heritage, as it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cost of living in Evora is generally lower than in larger cities like Lisbon and Porto, but it is still essential to research housing options and costs before moving. The climate in Evora is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters, so expats should be prepared for warm weather and occasional rainfall. The official language is Portuguese, and while English is spoken by many locals, it is beneficial to learn some basic Portuguese phrases to help with daily interactions. Public transportation in Evora is limited, so expats may want to consider purchasing a car or a bicycle for easier navigation around the city. Healthcare facilities in Evora are adequate, but expats should ensure they have proper health insurance coverage and may need to travel to larger cities for specialized treatments. The job market in Evora is relatively small, with tourism and agriculture being the main industries. Expats should secure employment before moving to the city, as job opportunities may be limited. Networking and learning Portuguese can help improve job prospects. Evora has a range of educational options, including public and private schools, as well as a university. Expats with children should research schools and enroll their children in advance to secure a spot. Finally, it is essential for expats to familiarize themselves with Portuguese customs, traditions, and etiquette to integrate smoothly into the local community. Participating in local events and joining expat groups can help make the transition to life in Evora more comfortable and enjoyable," said a member in Evora, Portugal.
