Leonardo Monteiro, a reporter in Portugal, opens the doors of his home in Lisbon | Globo Reporter

Leonardo, who does not abandon his presence in the center of Lisbon, shows a little from his home, where he begins to work, study and gather his friends.

From his window, he can see the São Jorge Castle and the electric cable car passing by. Leonardo has been living in Lisbon since 2015, when he arrived for his master’s degree. Soon, he began participating in GloboNews and joined the correspondent team of TV Globo. Since then, he has followed the growth and transformations of Lisbon.

Leonardo says that tourism is very important for the city, which has a pleasant and warm climate compared to other European cities and which attracts people from all over the world.

In addition to the explosion of tourism and the high demand for those wishing to live in Portugal, Leonardo also pursued other economic factors that affected the city, such as high inflation, which reached 10%. Lisbon was one of the cheapest capitals to visit and live in Europe, and over time, real estate speculation was noticed, with real estate prices rising, which also affected the cost of living. Even with these economic factors, many people are betting on moving to Portugal.
