Expat Community

Cascais is not technically Lisbon, but it's Lisbon's most popular suburb for international families. A 30-minute train ride along the coast from Cais do Sodré station. The town has its own beaches, a yacht marina, excellent restaurants, and the largest concentration of international schools in the Lisbon metro area. The expat community is well-established (British, French, American, Scandinavian). Prices are comparable to central Lisbon but you get more space.
