Cost of Living On 1 January 2002, the Escudo was replaced by the Euro in Portugal. The Euro prices given throughout have been converted from the prices in the original currency. They are rounded to the nearest €0.50 and will therefore be approximations of the current correct Euro price, especially as many establishments will have used the changeover as an excuse to increase their prices. One-litre bottle of mineral water: Esc160/€0.80 33cl bottle of beer: Esc100/€0.50 Financial Times newspaper: Esc400/€2 36-exposure colour film: Esc1000/€5 City-centre bus ticket: Esc80-160/€0.40-0.80 Adult football ticket: Esc3000-5000/€15-25 Three-course meal with wine/beer: Esc1400-3200/€7-16 1 Euro (€1) = £0.68; US$1.07; C$1.62; A$1.80; Esc200.48 100 Escudos (Esc100) = €0.50 Currency conversion rates as of February 2003 |
