I am in a transition phase moving to Lisbon

@karenmouarkech, Welcome.

There's a geographical problem here Portugal doesn't have the Mediterranean Sea but the Atlantic Ocean with many beaches.

Do you have German citizenship? If not, you'll need a visa.

Regards

Hehe, thanks!! It feels like the warmth of the Mediterranean;)

Yes, I have gained a german passport

@JohnnyPT

Any tips on how to meet portuguese people easily in the area of Lisbon? Any suggestions for pages or networks where I could find social clubs, hiking clubs and people who like hangout for a coffee or a drink? My next step will be to register to a portuguese language course and I would still need to meet locals for the exchange!

@karenmouarkech,

Join some Meetup groups that do these kinds of activities. It's a good place to start getting to know people and places.

Hi,
I miss the beach and the Mediterranean ambiente! - @karenmouarkech

What does Mediterranian ambiente mean for a place that is located at the Atlantic (not the Mediterranian)?

internations.org is very active in Lisbon with frequent activities and opportunities to meet people.
