How rent is measured

Median rent per square meter on new leases signed in the last 12 months across the municipality — INE, Portugal's statistics office. Rent PAID, not asked: the median rent per square meter of NEW leases of family dwellings over the last 12 months, from lease declarations to the Portuguese Tax Authority (Imposto do Selo, Modelo 2), published by INE (methodology 2026, CC BY 4.0), over the whole municipality. It is a rate per m², not a monthly rent: multiply by the floor area you want. New leases only, so it reflects current market rents. Compares within Portugal only.

These are straight lines, not routes. Flight distances are measured airport to airport across the Earth's surface, from LIS to each destination's main airport. The drive to LIS is the exception: that one is a measured road route.

Estimated flying time is our own arithmetic, not a timetable: the straight-line distance flown at 780 km/h, plus 45 minutes for taxi, climb and descent, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. A real flight is longer than a straight line, and whether a nonstop exists at all changes by season and airline — check current schedules.

The 108 destinations above are a chosen list, not every city — the capital and the largest cities of each country we publish for, by population (up to ten for the United States, five for Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, three elsewhere). Two cities served by the same airport appear once. A city that is not on the list is not unusually far; it is simply not on the list.
