All about Portugal

When to Visit

Portugal is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your activities. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal for sightseeing and outdoor exploration, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer (June to August) is perfect for beach vacations in the Algarve, though it’s the busiest season. Winter (December to February) is quieter, with pleasant weather in the south and festive Christmas celebrations in cities like Lisbon and Porto.

Getting Around

Portugal’s transportation network is efficient and budget-friendly. Trains and buses connect major cities like Lisbon, Porto, and Faro, while regional buses serve smaller towns. Renting a car is ideal for exploring the Algarve, Douro Valley, or remote areas. In cities, trams, buses, and metro systems are convenient options. Taxis and rideshare apps like Bolt are widely available, and walking is a great way to explore city centers.

Traveler Tips

When visiting Portugal, pack comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestone streets. Try local dishes like bacalhau, pastel de nata, and grilled sardines, paired with Portuguese wine or port. Learn basic Portuguese phrases such as “Olá” (hello) and “Obrigado/Obrigada” (thank you) to connect with locals, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted in most places, but carry some cash for smaller establishments. Be prepared for hilly terrain, especially in Lisbon and Porto. Don’t miss the opportunity to ride the iconic tram 28 in Lisbon and explore the picturesque villages of the Alentejo region.
