Lisbon is an amazing country! It’s absolutely beautiful and there is no shortage of things to do. I found it easy to find my way around; the people are friendly and kind. RY group activities were fun; I especially loved cultural experiences. Viviana is unbelievable! She has such a kind, accepting, and welcoming personality that puts one at ease.
I fell in love with Lisbon! Great mix of old and modern! Great city to wander around by yourself or in a group. Lisbon is hands down one of my favorite RY locations ! I enjoyed the central location of our apartment, and it was very ascetically pleasing and modern. Best RY accommodation so far!!! Viviana was great! Always quick to respond and eager with suggestions!
One month in Lisbon was so transformative! Viviana was the best host and set us up for such a great month full of curated experiences. I absolutely loved everything the city had to offer and the community that I got to spend it with :) Highly recommend this city and the 1 month program here!
Lisbon and having Viv as my city manager was incredible. She truly gave me the 5 star concierge experience. She was extremely responsive and was always happy to provide A+ recommendations. For example, she gave me three different beach hopping itineraries. The welcome and farewell events she organized were lovely. Having a professional vintage car tour and a sunset boat cruise was wonderful. She got us reservations at some of the best restaurants as well (e.g., Ponto Final). She truly went above and beyond. The city of Lisbon itself is amazing and I would recommend everyone do the RY Lisbon trip. I didn't stay in the RY apartments but I wish I did because they were beautiful and centrally located. The coworking space was also incredibly gorgeous and centrally located. Overall Viv and Lisbon are a 10/10!
Remote Year in Lisbon was amazing, and made me fall in love with Portugal. I was very impressed with the level of excellence, including the great accommodations, which exceeded my expectation for such an aged city. We were right in city center, lived in the same building as all others in the program (which isn't always the case), and the workspace met my needs and was a 10-min walk. Our city manager Viv exceeded my expectations for friendliness, true care for well being, and led us through many fun local events and was very engaging with the group. The experiences offered were great as well (noting that there is a different flow in Portugal vs the descriptions, but I still enjoyed), most led by locals. Sintra day trip and Azores 4-day trip were amazing. I loved every moment of each. Highly recommend RY and look forward to booking my next trip.
Lisbon is the most beautiful city! Vibrant, charming, and a flavor for every interest. Our City Guide, Viv, was awesome! It was like having a friend in a city you just moved to. She had great food recommendations (which can be an overwhelming task in a city as DELICIOUS as Lisbon). She was prompt and always up to something fun - whether thats a DJ set on the beach or a stroll in the woods during firefly season. Viv has an open heart and spirit, and my stay in Lisbon would have been very different without her.
Remote Year is a great option for people who want longterm arrangements without having to handle the logistics.
I spent this past August in Split and October in Lisbon and had the time of my life! I’ve already booked two more trips with RY because I’ve enjoyed them so much.
Yes, you could travel for cheaper but they community, ease of planning and resources made this an amazing value.
Croatia - this was the best way to spend a summer month! The activities vary between local unique experiences and tons of outdoor activities. I enjoyed every activity as I signed up for most of them! Split and the other towns we visited aren’t that big but the beach clubs and nightlife were amazing.
Lisbon - the RY team here was the absolute best! They were so involved and made us truly feel at home. Lisbon itself is one of the most vibrant cities I’ve ever visited. It’s very convenient to several beaches, the population is very diverse, tons of different neighborhoods and the nightlife was so fun. There is truly something for everyone here.
Lisbon and the community guides are fantastic. I’ll definitely be back.
Made a last minute decision to do my 6th RY month in Lisbon and let me tell you, a time was had!
Lisbon is such an easy city to love— the weather was great, my apartment was gorgeous, the people were warm and those pasteis de natas? Oh boy.
I couldn’t have asked for a more lit group of people to do this month with; and the icing on the cake for me was our city managers Viviana and Pedro. They took such good care of us.
All around immaculate vibes in Lisbon - 10/10 highly recommend!
Lisbon is an amazing city! Pedro and Viviana, our city managers, took incredible care of us, staying closely in contact, recommending us places and experiences, and in general being amazing hosts and people. The city itself is beautiful and the experience was made even better by having a delightful group of remotes. Absolutely recommended!
My first RY and what an awesome month it was! Incredible experiences from the first day to the last, jam-packed with so much good food, good vibes and history built into one month. Viviana and Pedro made sure we got to experience all that Lisbon had to offer, and they were so kind and patient with us. I would have stayed another two months in a heartbeat if the option was there. This is the program that sold me on RY.
Lisbon is the most incredible destination to visit, with a vibrant city atmosphere, rich cultural heritage, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences. Viviana and Pedro went above and beyond to make the trip even more memorable with their superb hospitality and recommendations. The accommodation and workspace were modern and luxurious, adding to the comfort and enjoyment. Overall, it was an absolutely amazing trip that I 100% recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
Stop what you’re doing and book Lisbon. This was my 5th month with RY and this was one of my favorite months. The Azores trip and Sintra trips were unforgettable - just might have to do it again. The apartments are modern, luxurious honestly- the best apartments in RY yet. Work from the Ideas workspace rooftop for incredible views of the city. Most importantly, spend the month with Vivianna and Pedro, they’ll show you the best time - trust me. Rain or shine, Lisbon has something for everyone & the food scene is amazing.
The Lisbon program has been one of the best experiences I’ve had traveling abroad! The city is absolutely gorgeous with lots of good food, music, and culture. The accommodation and cowork were top tier and Pedro/Viviana are amazing program leaders who put so much effort in making us feel welcomed and involved. Met many great people along the way - it’ll forever be a special city in my heart <3
One of the best things about Remote Year is the community experience. Lisbon was absolutely beautiful, and an easy city to explore in, but I think the RY team, taking care of us and the logistics, helped make the experience more enjoyable. Pedro is very hospitable, and ensures that everyone has access to what they need. From hair dryers to helping book an appointment at a hospital, when getting sick, he continuously followed up, and kept us feeling safe.
The Lisbon RY team (Pedro and Viv) went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and had a good time.
If you do sign up for Remote Year, Lisbon is a must, especially with Pedro at the helm.
A month in Lisbon through Remote Year is a great way to try out the digital nomad lifestyle, learn a new city, and grow your network. Having local city guides makes it a seamless transition and Pedro and Viviana did not disappoint. They both try to curate scheduled and impromptu ways to fall in love with Lisbon. Mission accomplished!
I heard of Remote Year for about 2 years before joining and I finally made the decision to move forward. I chose Lisbon as I have never been, but I heard nothing but positive experiences from friends and family that have visited previously. Even with that being the case, I chose to come here with no expectations.
From the minute I landed, I have had nothing but an amazing experience. The Remote Year team grabbed me from the airport and took me straight to my beautiful accommodation. Between the organized events, gorgeous beaches/weather, amazing food, nightlife, warm locals and potentially above all the RY Team here in Lisbon - I could not have even imaged having this type of experience.
I could not recommend this experience highly enough for anyone looking to come to Europe! 5/5 starts no questions asked!!
