Portalegre is a charming city with a strong Baroque and Renaissance heritage, visible in its palaces, churches and the historic castle with open views over the city and the surrounding landscape.  The old town is known for its noble houses from the 17^th and 18^th centuries and a unique tapestry museum, reflecting a long tradition in textiles and arts.
Living in Portalegre and in the Alentejo means enjoying a calmer rhythm, good local gastronomy and wines, and a strong sense of community, with a cost of living generally lower than in Portugal’s major cities and coastal regions. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Portalegre is well connected, with regular direct buses to Lisbon taking around 2.5–3 hours, making weekend trips or commuting feasible. The region offers an authentic Portuguese lifestyle, with nearby nature in the São Mamede hills, easy access to Spain and starry skies typical of the Alentejo interior.
