Hello Swedish friends! I hope you’re all well (:

So, I’m a young Portuguese guy and I was wondering what Swedes should think of Portugal and the Portuguese. I did some research, but found almost nothing. So I decided to ask here.

I’m very curious to hear your answers! (:

    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.

        It’s an old song lyric which is a cultural classic. I can’t recall their name, Hjalle och Heavy maybe their name was.

    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 👍

    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.

    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?

        Oh! Well I’m no expert but as far as I know the Portuguese do not have a bad rep for any reason, everyone I’ve talked to who have been there loved it, and you are often used as an example for why we should decriminalize most drugs ☺️

    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.

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

    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)
