Portugal is a great place to raise children, with excellent schools, a high standard of living, a mix of modern amenities and historical architecture, a family-oriented European culture, not to mention plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and travel at your fingertips.

Portugal’s GV is one of the most sought-after golden visas in Europe. It offers residency in return for an investment starting at 280,000 EUR and only requires you to spend an average of seven days per year in the country.

Some of the local etiquette that I wanted to share include tipping or not, what to do when ordering water, along with things like the bread basket before your meal.
