Question 1

What do I need to know before renting an apartment in Porto?

Accepted Answer

When you are choosing the area, keep it in mind when booking your next apartment as you might find yourself climbing your way home every day, which may also be exactly what you need to stay in top shape!

On the other hand, another thing you should consider is that the rental price does not usually include supplies such as water or electricity, so you should set aside a separate amount to pay for these expenses.

In addition, when you have found your ideal apartment, you will have to pay a deposit that is usually two months, and one or two months in advance.

Question 2

How long does it take to find an apartment in Porto?

Accepted Answer

As a very popular city, flats for rent tend to be short-lived on the market, so be quick once you find one you like.

We suggest you start looking as soon as possible. Even if you are going to move in a few months, online platforms such as Spotahome count among their offer with apartments that, although they are booked now, will be free in a few months, so you can rent in advance.

Question 3

What is the average price of an apartment in Porto?

Accepted Answer

Rent a 1-bedroom apartment in Porto will cost between €600 and €700, although prices will vary depending on the area.

If, on the other hand, what you are looking for is a 2-bedroom apartment you can find it from €800.

Question 4

Where do expats live in Porto?

Accepted Answer

The Baixa neighborhood is the favourite of young professionals. An active lifestyle is all around this area, with plans on every corner.

Matosinhos is another of the most chosen options since it is located next to the beach and only 30 minutes by metro from the center. If you like green areas, quietness and the beach, it is your ideal neighborhood.

In Vila Nova de Gaia, on the other side of the Douro River, prices are lower, which is why many of the expatriates choose it as their neighborhood of residence.

Question 5

Which district in Porto is best connected to rent a flat?

Accepted Answer

Oporto has an extensive and varied transport network. The metro is the main means of transport, but there are more alternatives such as trams and buses. If you want to use any of these three, it will be necessary to purchase a "walking" card that you must recharge each time you want to make a trip.

With all this, any neighborhood in Porto is well connected to any part of the city, whether you have to go to work in the center, go shopping in the outskirts or move between neighborhoods to visit your friends or go to university .
