FAQ & Expert Tips

What's the best time to visit Portugal?

The optimal time to visit Portugal largely depends on your personal preferences. It's safe to say that it is a year-round destination. Spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) are often considered the best seasons. During these periods, the weather is mild, and nature comes to life with blooming flowers and lush landscapes. Summer (July to August) is popular for beach destinations, but it can be quite hot, especially in the inland regions. Winter (November to March) is milder compared to many other European destinations, making it suitable for those who enjoy cooler temperatures and cultural experiences.

Do I need a visa to visit Portugal?

Portugal is a member of the Schengen Area, allowing travelers from various countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and EU member states, to enter for short stays (up to 90 days) without a visa. However, it's crucial to check specific entry requirements based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. If you plan to stay longer or for other purposes, additional visa considerations may apply.

What are the must-visit cities in Portugal?

Portugal is home to a variety of vibrant cities, each with its own unique charm and attractions.

  1. Lisbon (Lisboa): The capital city, perched on the hills overlooking the Tagus River, Lisbon is a captivating blend of historic neighborhoods, contemporary culture, and stunning viewpoints. Explore Alfama's narrow streets, visit the historic Belém district, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife in Bairro Alto.
  2. Porto: Known for its wine cellars, historic architecture, and the Douro River, Porto is a UNESCO World Heritage city. Wander through the charming Ribeira district, visit Livraria Lello, and enjoy a cruise along the Douro to appreciate the city's beauty.

Is English widely spoken in Portugal?

Yes, English is commonly spoken in Portugal, particularly in tourist areas, major cities, and establishments frequented by visitors. The hospitality industry is accustomed to catering to an international audience, and English is often the second language. However, while most locals in urban areas understand English, learning a few basic Portuguese phrases can enhance your experience, especially when venturing into more rural or traditional settings. Embracing the local language adds a cultural dimension to your journey and fosters positive interactions with residents.

    How To Explore Portugal

    While travel to a new destination certainly offers new insights, it can also change perspective about thyself. Our recent travel to Portugal was one such experience. Right from landing at Lisbon airport, picking up the car rental, and driving down three hours down south to Lagos – it was a “first” experience in many ways.

    Things to remember before you travel!

    Holidays are to relax, rejuvenate, explore and spend time with the people who mean the most to you. Or if you travel alone then it becomes a source of self realization, to reconnect with yourself. Either ways, if you are visiting a new country it is important to have a great stay, enjoy the land, people, food, soak in the culture and sights without being hassled.
