Travel guide: Portugal 🇵🇹

Best time to go

• Spring (March to May) is a delightful time to visit Portugal when the weather is mild, and nature bursts into bloom with fewer crowds
• Summer (June to August) is the peak season and is great for those seeking sun, sea, and sand
• Late-April to October is the whale-watching season in the Azores
• Autumn is an excellent time for outdoor activities like hiking, wine tasting, and cultural exploration at a more affordable price

Good things to know

• Transport is convenient in big cities, and renting a car is popular in rural areas
• Lisbon is known for its seven hills, so walking around can be tough for those with back or knee problems
• Many day tours depart from Porto and Lisbon, which means you can see more of the country without constantly changing accommodations
• Douro Valley is known as the home of port wine - it can be done as a day trip from Porto
• Madeira is a great place for scuba diving with mild weather and abundant wildlife
• Portugal is great for outdoor activities such as coasteering and kayaking around its Arrábida Natural Park
