Portugal surprises you with the contrast between cozy small towns and cosmopolitan Lisbon - you can live three times cheaper by picking the right spot. From quiet Evora ($998/month) to cultural capital Lisbon ($1,768/month) - everyone finds their balance. Port wine gets its name straight from the city of Porto, and local wines remain some of the best deals you'll find as a traveler.
