I have a suspicion the real issue is tourism and not expat residents. It’s driving up rent in downtown Lisbon.



The decrease in the typical duration of tourists' stays in Portugal, which has gone from 6.7 days to 4 days in the past decade, is likely to affect various aspects of the country's tourism infrastructure, including its airports. Additionally, there has been a problem with noise pollution in residential areas due to touristic establishments like bars and nightclubs.


How so?


I would imagine via AirBnB or short term rentals in general. Last time I stayed in Lisbon I stayed in a converted apartment, via AirBnB. It certainly puts pressure on the long term rental market.
