About

This is a list of cities in Portugal. In Portugal, a city is an honorific term given to localities that meet several criteria, such as having a minimum number of inhabitants, good infrastructure, or major historical importance. The country's demographic expansion in the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution, which brought an end to the Portuguese Colonial War and the arrival of over 500,000 retornados from Portugal's former colonies in Africa, prompted the elevation of several towns to city status. As of 2023, 159 localities in Portugal are considered a city.
