This is a '''list of cities in Portugal'''. In [[Portugal]], a city ({{langx|pt|cidade}}) is an honorific term given to localities that meet several criteria, such as having a minimum number of inhabitants, good infrastructure (schools, medical care, cultural and sports facilities), 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 {{lang|pt|{{ill|retornados|pt}}}} from [[Portuguese Empire|Portugal's former colonies]] in Africa,<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lubkemann |first1=Stephen C. |year=2005 |chapter=Unsettling the Metropole: Race and Settler Reincorporation in Postcolonial Portugal |editor-last1=Elkins |editor-first1=Caroline |editor-link1=Caroline Elkins |editor-last2=Pedersen |editor-first2=Susan |editor-link2=Susan Pedersen (historian) |title=Settler Colonialism in the Twentieth Century: Projects, Practices, Legacies |language=en |publisher=Routledge |pages=257–270 |isbn=978-0-203-62104-2 }}</ref>{{rp|pp=258–259}} prompted the elevation of several towns to city status. {{As of|2023|post=,}} 159 localities in Portugal are considered a city.

==Overview==
In Portugal, the city is not an [[Administrative divisions of Portugal|administrative division]], therefore a city generally does not necessarily correspond to a [[Municipalities of Portugal|municipality]], which is the second-level local government in the country. Some entirely urban municipalities do coincide with cities, such as [[Lisbon]], [[Porto]], [[Funchal]], [[Amadora]], [[Entroncamento]], and [[São João da Madeira]]. Conversely, a municipality can contain multiple cities; the municipality of [[Paredes, Portugal|Paredes]] contains four cities, the most of any municipality in the country.

Until 1910, a locality was proclaimed a city by [[royal charter]] ({{lang|pt|carta régia}}), which happened 25 times to current Portuguese cities (royal charters were also granted to cities of the [[Portuguese Empire]]; for example, [[São Paulo]] in 1711). During the [[Portuguese First Republic]], the process was transferred to the parliament, which elevated three towns to the category of city. The dictatorial {{lang|pt|[[Estado Novo (Portugal)|Estado Novo]]}} regime proclaimed seven cities on the Portuguese mainland (as well as some more in the colonies), this time by government decree. After the 1974 [[Carnation Revolution]], proclamation of cities returned to parliament, and 159 localities in the country are considered a city {{As of|2023|lc=y}}.<ref>{{cite web |year=2023 |title=Cities (No.) by Geographic localization (NUTS - 2024); Annual |url=https://www.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=INE&xpgid=ine_indicadores&indOcorrCod=0013217&contexto=bd&selTab=tab2&xlang=en |website=Statistics Portugal {{hyphen}} Web Portal |language=en |publisher=[[Instituto Nacional de Estatística (Portugal)|Instituto Nacional de Estatística]] |publication-date=2024-06-27 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250908023259/https://www.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=INE&xpgid=ine_indicadores&indOcorrCod=0013217&contexto=bd&selTab=tab2&xlang=en |archive-date=2025-09-08 }}</ref>

The designation of eight settlements as cities predates the formation of the [[Kingdom of Portugal]] in the 12th century: [[Braga]], [[Coimbra]], [[Lamego]], [[Porto]] and [[Viseu]], as well as [[Évora]], [[Lisbon]] and [[Silves Municipality, Portugal|Silves]], which were [[Portugal in the Reconquista|annexed to the kingdom]] in the century after its founding.<ref name="INFOLINE2003">{{cite web  |year=2003 |title=Cidades Portuguesas (2002) |url=http://www.ine.pt/prodserv/nomenclaturas/refter/cid-vil/cidades_ano.asp?ano=200212&anoD=2002 |trans-title=Portuguese Cities (2002) |website=INFOLINE |language=pt-PT |publisher=Instituto Nacional de Estatística |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070523191426/http://www.ine.pt/prodserv/nomenclaturas/refter/cid-vil/cidades_ano.asp?ano=200212&anoD=2002 |archive-date=2007-05-23 }}</ref> [[Guarda, Portugal|Guarda]] was the first city proclaimed as part of the independent kingdom, in 1199.<ref name="INFOLINE2003" />

== City designation ==
In Portugal, a locality can only be called a city if more than 8,000 inhabitants live in the city's urban area. In addition, at least half of the following infrastructure must be present:<ref>{{cite web |author1=Assembleia da República |author-link1=Assembly of the Republic (Portugal) |title=Lei n.º 11/82, de 2 de junho |url=https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/lei/11-1982-391832 |trans-title=Act no. 11/82, of 2 June |website=[[Diário da República]] |series=Série I |language=pt-PT |publisher=[[Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda]] |publication-date=1982-06-02 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250907215200/https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/lei/11-1982-391832 |archive-date=2025-09-07 }}</ref>

=== Cities being towns ===
In Portugal there are localities with more than 8,000 inhabitants and with the required infrastructure installed, but not having the designation of "city", but rather as "town", for example:

* [[Algueirão - Mem Martins|Algueirão-Mem Martins]]
* [[Corroios]]
* [[Rio de Mouro]]
* [[Cascais]]
* [[Sintra]]

=== Towns being cities ===
Just as there are "cities" being "towns", there are also "towns" being "cities", because they have the required infrastructure in place, but have no more than 8,000 inhabitants or because since the locality received the designation "city" it has lost over the years the 8,000 inhabitants, for example:

* [[Miranda do Douro]]
* [[Santana (Madeira)|Santana]]
* [[Sabugal]]
* [[Reguengos de Monsaraz]]

== Metropolitan areas ==
[[Portugal|Portugal's]] two metropolitan areas, [[Lisbon metropolitan area|Lisbon]] with over 2.8 million inhabitants and [[Porto metropolitan area|Porto]] with over 1.7 million inhabitants, are the largest agglomerations in the country. In the two metropolitan areas, in addition to the large cities of [[Lisbon]] and [[Porto]], there are other cities that together form the metropolitan area.

The [[Lisbon metropolitan area|Lisbon Metropolitan Area]] consists of the large city of [[Lisbon]], but also the cities of [[Amadora]], [[Queluz, Portugal|Queluz]], [[Agualva-Cacém]], etc.

The [[Porto metropolitan area|Porto Metropolitan Area]] is made up of the large city of [[Porto]], but also the cities of [[Vila Nova de Gaia]], [[Gondomar, Portugal|Gondomar]], [[Rio Tinto (Gondomar)|Rio Tinto]], [[Póvoa de Varzim]], [[Matosinhos]], etc.

== Large cities outside metropolitan areas ==
There are also large cities in [[Portugal]] that do not belong to any metropolitan area. These cities are mostly capitals of [[Subregion|sub-regions]] that are not considered metropolitan areas because the population is mainly located in the capital of the sub-region.

The city of [[Braga]] is the capital of the sub-region of [[Cávado (intermunicipal community)|Cávado]].

The city of [[Funchal]] is the capital of the autonomous region of [[Madeira]].

The city of [[Coimbra]] is the capital of the sub-region [[Região de Coimbra]].

== Urban areas ==
The following list shows the number of inhabitants and the population density of each respective city. Only the inhabitants living in the urban area are counted, not the inhabitants living in the entire municipality.

In the case of large cities like [[Vila Nova de Gaia]], [[Braga]], [[Coimbra]] and [[Setúbal|Setubal]], the inhabitants of the entire municipality are not listed, because the municipality does not only include the city, but also other towns and villages around the city, which nevertheless belong to the municipality, but form a separate parish and therefore do not belong to the respective city.

In the case of large cities like [[Lisbon]], [[Porto]], [[Amadora]] and [[Funchal]], the inhabitants of the entire municipality are listed because the city spreads over the entire municipality and the respective parishes within the municipality are seen as "neighborhoods".

Cities with an ''italic'' font are capitals of subregions, cities with a '''''bold''''' font are capitals of regions.<ref>{{cite web |date=2021-12-31 |title=Portugal: Regions and Cities |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/portugal/cities/ |website=City Population |publisher=Thomas Brinkhoff |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250331140829/https://www.citypopulation.de/en/portugal/cities/ |archive-date=2025-03-31 }}</ref>
