Actually I liked Portugal and the portoguese very much. I experienced it as that Portuguese and Swedish people are more similar than spanish\italian and Swedish people are. Maybe it’s a small-country thing? Idk

Love the country, the food etc

Sadly I also think of Ronaldo, the world biggest crybaby of a manchild

Portugal and Portugese ppl seem pretty chill but I dont know much about it other than what I've learned from friends and family who have been there. Everyone I know that have been to Portugal have mostly (almost only) nice things to say about the country and its people.

Never been but looks nice. Both heard that the food was horrible and others who liked it so will have to find out myself one day. Portuguese people: don't know if I ever met one and haven't seen anything come out of there to even base a superficial opinion on. So I guess it's all good 👍

I travel to Algarve at least once per year. I greatly prefer Portugal to Spain, the portuguese are far kinder.

Most Swedes probably don't know that much about Portugal. I think Spain is a more common tourist destination, so Portugal kind of gets lumped in with Spain. Although there are a small number of Swedes who choose to retire in Portugal, especially before the tax rules were changed in 2022.

Personally I've been to Portugal (Lisbon) once and I loved it. Very friendly people, great food and wines and such a beautiful city. I was there during the pandemic, though, so there were fewer tourists than normal.

There's also the whole "Portugal can into Nordic" meme, where Portugal seems to alternatively rank among the Nordic countries or the Balkans/Eastern Europe in various statistics.

Haven't been there or met one. But the language is just raaaawr. Russian & French is veri hawt.

rullarzutt at 2023-10-05 16:34:35+00:00 ID: k3lflf9

Why would I have an opinion? I never think about Portugal or the Portuguese

Friendly people, great food and wine. Been there 5 times and will go back soon again

Dirac_Impulse at 2023-10-05 16:32:08+00:00 ID: k3lf6wl

From my personal experience most Swedes know very little about Portugal and just assumes it's sort of similar to Spain, but perhaps even poorer.

Tjocksmocke at 2023-10-05 16:56:30+00:00 ID: k3ljase

I think most Swedes think of it as a place for vacations, catch some sun, maybe surf, and eat fresh fish, seafood and drink vinho verde. Most that have visited have probably visited the Algarve region, then Lissabon and Porto.

I would say that the most press Portugal gets in Sweden besides Ronaldo is that your drug policys is used a lot as an positive example in debates regarding narcotics.

What do you mean?

If you don't look rapey or stabby you're gonna be fine 🤷‍♂️

Edit: Or you just mean the general reputation of Portugal?

Hey Google, translate Pang på pungen i Portugal to English.

Every Portuguese I've met have been very relaxed and pleasant people. I just feel sorry for your wildfires.

Visited Lissabon and Cascais and loved it. Very chill atmosphere all around. Too chill compared to what Swedes are accustomed to. We accidentally flooded the apartment from the bathroom. We were very surprised by the building standards = no drain in the bathroom and no water stoppage to the hallway. And we were more surprised by the reaction by the owner (it had happened before, no problem, we just lost the downpayment)

Been to portugal twice, it's a awsome country filled with friendly people and I will probably go back next year to buy a apartment there actually.

That you are the same as the Spanish....

piercedmfootonaspike at 2023-10-05 17:34:31+00:00 ID: k3lscni

I guess it's like the Denmark of Spain?

I've met many lovely people in the countryside from north to south but I understand why you have the word saudade, there was something sad everywhere and not much to enjoy. Beautiful country and the young people I met were very bright. Baga, Castelão and Arinto are better wines than the french and italian I think

Leimandar at 2023-10-05 17:44:29+00:00 ID: k3lyhvi

Kinda like Spain but poorer.

Micke_xyz at 2023-10-05 17:22:08+00:00 ID: k3lno6j

I was in Lisbon just this weekend. First time in Portugal. Beautiful city, friendly people, nice weather. That just about sums it up.
