What to Do in Portugal

Advice for Tourists Visiting Portugal

Your passport will need to be up-to-date to visit Portugal, but tourist visas aren’t necessary for most Western citizenships. You can stay up to 90 days, though this period applies to the EU as a whole. The currency is the euro, and it goes farther here than almost anywhere else in Europe.

The climate here is one of the hottest in Europe, and generally mild even in the winter time, though the winter months are much better. Summer is a high peak time, when even the modest prices of Portugal are hiked, and the beaches are crowded. If you can sneak in a September visit, you’ll get the best of both worlds.

Rainfall is still low, and hotel prices are falling, but you’re still likely to see 80 degree days. Skyscanner’s hotel price comparison tool is the best way to ensure a good price no matter when you visit, and it’s 100% free to use.
