Capital City

Good morning

Good evening

"Portugal is a little rectangle located by the Atlantic ocean where you will find a big diversity of landscapes, picturesque towns and villages, people, and... Oh! Its amazing food and wines!"

Alexandre, Travel Director

Take in the colors of the romantic Portuguese capital Lisbon

Feel the sheer delight of the colorful city of Lisbon, set over tram-lined hills beside the intersection of the Tagus River and Atlantic Ocean. Intricate hand-painted tiles, flower-filled balconies and numerous antique stores dazzle between alfresco dining and monument hoping.

Enjoy the sounds of fado

Experience a pleasant rush of emotion in the talented guitar sounds of traditional fado. Telling stories of days gone by when lonely sailors and poor families, a sentimental fado will move you to your core and connect you with Portuguese culture.

Stroll through the historic center of Porto

Be compelled to Portugal’s north by the city of Porto that dates back to the year 300 BC. When not busy sampling fermented grapes here in the home of port wine, peruse the elaborate bookstore of Livraria Lello and soak up art nouveau architecture and ice cream at the beloved Majestic Café.

Go inside the Church of Saint Lawrence in Algarve

A symbol of Portuguese faith and opulent Baroque design, find breathtaking delight in the Church of Saint Lawrence. Though the exterior appears as an unremarkable landmark, the interior’s intricate blue and white tiles and sparkling gold altar make it one of the essential things to do in Portugal.

Visit the religious landmarks of Fátima

Declared the altar of the world for the Catholic religion, Fátima is a pilgrimage site of great importance, where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1917. Beyond the religious structures of the Sanctuary of Fátima, find joy in the town’s limestone caves and nature reserves.

Our top 5 things to do in Portugal

From the soul-stirring sounds of fado music to the gold altar of the Church of Saint Lawrence, we’ll guide you through the most incredible things this country has to offer. 

Gulbenkian Museum

Step inside Lisbon’s Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and enter a world of masterful art housed in a remarkable building that brings the outdoors indoors. Admire statues framed by floor to ceiling windows with foliage-covered views before moving to the garden to contemplate the collection by a pond.

Serralves Museum

Dive into the world of contemporary masterpieces within the art deco walls of Serralves Museum. Found in a striking peach building less than 10-minutes from the heart of Porto, you will quickly understand why this is the most visited museum in the country.

Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga

Peel back layers of creative talent and history at Portugal’s national museum of ancient art. Allocate a few hours to strolling these well-dressed halls, found in Lisbon’s historically significant Palácio Alvor-Pombal building featuring an iconic pink and yellow facade.

Best museums in Portugal

Portugal tours with Trafalgar unravel the best of the country’s many museums, from the masterful art of Gulbenkian to Porto’s art deco Serralves Museum.

Pastel de Nata

A delicious pastry tart of baked custard and cinnamon, the pastel de nata is best served fresh from the oven in its hometown of Belém. First made by Catholic Monks in the late 17th century, each bite is a taste of culture and history.

A simple preparation of dried and salted codfish, bacalhau is known as a national obsession. Though there’s an accurate Portuguese saying that says there is a different variety of Bacalhau for every day of the year, the most traditional accompaniments are potato and wine.

Often referred to as the Portuguese paella, Cataplana is a fragrant dish featuring pork and clam or mixed seafood with a side of rice. Flavored by piri-piri sauce, wine and garlic, it is best sampled in the Algarve straight from a copper pot.

Best food in Portugal

Savor every bite as we journey through Portugal’s culinary best, sampling moreish custard tarts and fresh seafood until our hearts are content. Here are just some of the Portuguese foods that will entice our trip.

What to pack for Portugal

A Portuguese phrase book

Though many travelers can manage a few words next-door when visiting Spain, Portuguese basics are not as widely known. Pack a Portuguese phrase book so you can attempt conversations and courtesies to the praise of locals.

Enjoying over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, Portugal’s warm and sunny climate calls for an oversized hat. It’s also the perfect way to complete your outfit for a day at the beach or taking guided walks of the cities.

An appetite for seafood

Visiting an alfresco cafe for an abundant seafood meal is a daily – sometimes twice daily – occurrence on a Portugal trip. With reasonable price tags, pack an appetite for seafood and prepare to indulge.

A camera with a wide lens

Known for its remarkable countryside and beautiful beaches, a wide-angle lens will see you perfectly capturing the landscapes of Portugal.

Little markets and hole in the wall cafes may not accept card as payment. Carry euros on hand so that you never get stuck or miss out on a unique souvenir.

Culture and customs.

Portugal is a Roman Catholic country that has been influenced by many cultures over the years. The Portuguese hold onto traditional family values and are renowned for their appreciation of food and the arts, with three Portuguese cities – Lisbon, Porto and Guimaraes – having been designated   European  Capitals of Culture.

Walk the streets of a Portuguese city and you’ll be greeted by color and chatter. The locals love nothing more than having a chat with each other, or with tourists, be it about the weather or politics or football. More often than not, these conversations take place during one of the day’s endless number of coffee breaks, or around the lunch or dinner table. Debates are encouraged, particularly with a glass of port in hand.

Pop into a bar in Lisbon and you may be greeted by the mournful sound of ‘fado’, a Portuguese style of music that’s listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The lyrics often relate back to the sea and a sense of nostalgia, homesickness and longing, and it holds such a special place in Portugal’s heart that when Amalia Rodrigues, the so-called ‘Queen of Fado’, died in 1999, three days of national mourning were declared.

This love of the arts isn’t limited to music either; Lisbon is jammed full of art galleries and even the pavements, all over the country, are patterned and decorated in a mosaic style. It’s just one example of the Portugal’s love of beauty, whether that beauty is found in art, food or each other.

History and government

The Iberian Peninsula was once made up of various tribes including the Celts, Aquitani, Iberians and Turdetani. Trade had been established across the Mediterranean by the   Greeks  and Phoenicians, though the Romans came to control the entire peninsula. As the Roman Empire began to weaken, the peninsula was invaded by various barbarian tribes and the Visigoths came out victorious. They controlled the entire Iberian Peninsula and converted to Catholicism.

The Moors and Reconquista

Meanwhile, Islamic forces had been slowly sweeping from the   Middle East   to Northern Africa and in AD711 the Moors crossed the Gibraltar Strait and defeated the Visigoths. They pushed north and conquered nearly all of the peninsula, though the Christian kingdom of Asturias held strong in the northwest thanks to the protection of the surrounding mountains. The Iberian Peninsula was known as Al-Andalus and became a centre for science and progress, though infighting eventually led to the area being split into a number of independent Muslim states.

In the 11th century, Christian soldiers from across   Europe  answered the call to fight the ‘infidels’ during a period known as the Reconquista. The Moors were pushed south and, in 1139, Afonso Henriques declared himself the King of Portugal after defeating the Moors in the south. The Algarve was conquered in the late 13th century and Portugal’s borders were defined.

Global expansion

After securing their borders, the Portuguese turned their attention abroad. Nearby   Morocco  was the first target and Portugal’s victory spurred the country into global exploration.   Africa , Southern India and   Brazil   followed, as well as trading posts in Timor,   China   and more. Their plan was simple: despite having a relatively tiny population, they would build their empire through trade.

This, of course, was unsustainable for such a small nation and they eventually found themselves in and out of Spanish rule towards the end of the 17th century. A period of peace and prosperity ensued until a giant earthquake hit Lisbon in 1755, leveling the city and causing tens of thousands of deaths. The Prime Minister at the time, Marques de Pombal, famously promised to ‘bury the dead and heal the living,’ and somehow did just that.

19–20th centuries

After Brazil’s independence was recognized in 1825 the Portuguese focused in on the domestic front. Education improved, as did women’s rights, and slavery was ended across the Portuguese colonies. Still, discontent was spreading as inequality rose and the monarchy was seen as a cause of this: the king, Carlos, was assassinated and his son was exiled to the UK – an unstable republic was born.

Over the following 16 years there were 45 changes of government. Coup after coup after coup took place, with Portugal supporting the Allies in WWI and remaining neutral in WWII. The post-war years saw yet another coup in Lisbon, known as the Revolution of the Carnations, led by military personnel sympathetic to the colonies, and the decolonization of territories swiftly followed. Countries like East Timor and Angola were plunged into chaos and by the late 1970s, Portugal was equally, if not more, unstable.

It’s been a long slog for Portugal and the economy is by no means safe. The country was in a serious recession for years, but the past five years have seen unemployment drop and wages rise. There’s been a heavy investment in green energy too. And though tourist numbers continue to swell and boost the economy, the cities are facing similar problems to a lot of European hotspots: rising rents and cost of living, thanks to tourism, are forcing locals out of the city centres. But for now, Portugal is going from strength to strength and looking positively towards the future.

Geography and environment

Portugal is located on the western side of the Iberian Peninsula. It shares an extensive land border with   Spain   to the east and north, while the west and south of the country are hugged by the Atlantic Ocean. The country’s geography varies from north to south and is a nice mix of plains, woodlands, mountains and beaches.

The extensive coastline is known for its dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches, with the south of Portugal, an area known as the Algarve, being particularly popular with tourists. The northern coast is equally beautiful but more influenced by the Atlantic and experiences more rain and wild weather, particularly during the winter.

To the west of Portugal is the island archipelago known as the Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal. These islands have been visited by sailors for centuries and are renowned for their dramatic beauty. The volcanic peaks, lush landscapes and colourful fishing villages host some 250,000 residents across nine islands. The Azores has a subtropical oceanic climate, which is warm in summer but by no means a ‘tropical paradise’. The Atlantic makes the temperature much more mild than the islands of the Mediterranean.

Inland Portugal is defined by the Douro River, which empties through Porto, and the Tagus River, which empties through Lisbon. Portugal’s south features rolling plains with a relatively warm and dry climate, while the north is far more mountainous with a wetter climate. The highest point on mainland Portugal is Torre (1993 m/6539 feet) in the Serra da Estrela range, which is a popular skiing destination in the winter.

Eating and drinking

It’s unsurprising, given Portugal’s location, that seafood plays a massive role in the Portuguese diet. In fact, the national dish of bacalhau (salted cod) can supposedly be cooked in over 365 ways, one for each day of the year. But it’s not just seafood that’s on the menu – the Portuguese have a varied and, quite frankly, mouth-watering range of dishes as well as a world-class wine industry.

Keep an eye out for some of these while traveling through Portugal: 

• Caldeirada This stew, which is packed with several different types of fish, is one of Portugal's most popular and enduring dishes. Expect sardines, cod, haddock, tuna and mackerel, doused in white wine and olive oil, served with a chunk of crusty bread. Simple but effective!
• Pasteis de Nata The Portuguese custard tart has wrapped its delicious ­– and admittedly non-existent – arms around the globe and the world’s tastebuds are cheering. These gooey little goodies feature flaky pastry and custard filling and can be eaten by the dozen (but shouldn’t be, for health reasons).
• Carne de Porco á Alentejana The popular Portuguese version of surf and turf hails from the Alentejo region but can be found served all throughout Portugal. Featuring pork and clams as the hero ingredients, white wine, paprika and coriander add flavor that is difficult to resist.
• Feijoada Brazil's national dish was actually invented by the Portuguese and this stew still endures as a common favorite in Portugal. Featuring beans, pork or beef and vegetables, this hearty stew is typically served with rice, although regional differences make this dish a different proposition every time.
• Entrecosto com Mel Meat lovers will salivate over these succulent pork ribs marinated in honey, garlic and liquor. Served with a side of chili sauce, this oven-roasted feast is perfect for a decadent celebration.
• Francesinha This is Porto’s sandwich to end all sandwiches. Translating as the ‘Little Frenchie’, this dish is anything but. It’s the Portuguese adaptation of the classic   French  toastie and features bread, pork, sausage, bacon and beef, topped with cheese and a fried egg and served with fries on the side. Give it a try ­– you won’t regret it (you almost certainly will).
• Port Portugal’s Douro Valley, upriver from Porto, is the third-oldest wine region in the world and the only one capable of producing port wine. Fortified wines are made all over the world but only wines from the Douro can be labelled as ‘port’. A sweet red wine, usually served for dessert, port has been made in the Douro since the mid-18th century and the landscape is as beautiful as the wine is delicious.

Festivals and events

If you're traveling to Portugal you better pack your party shoes. No matter what time of year you're visiting, you'll see the locals take to the streets for some kind of 'festa'.

Santo Antonio Festival

Sometimes known as the Festival of Sardines, this festival takes place in mid-June though it’s part of a full month of celebrations in Lisbon. Portugal’s capital is filled with people grilling fish in the street and celebrating St Anthony, the patron saint of the city. The streets are filled with revelers, with the party beginning in the afternoon of June 12 and continuing until sunrise – June 13 is a bank holiday.

If you can’t make it to Brazil for Carnaval and happen to be in Europe, Portugal is the place to head for some wild times. Colorful parades and heaving street parties take place all over the country in celebration of the beginning of Lent.

Obidos Medieval Festival

From mid-July to August, Obidos hosts a medieval festival filled with jousting knights, feasts and performances, all in front of the city’s imposing castle. The town recreates medieval Europe with banners and flags strung across the town and soldiers, jugglers, minstrels and more wandering the streets.

Music festivals

Portugal’s summer features a number of hugely popular music festivals that attract superstar acts from across the globe. Some of the biggest are Primavera Sound in Porto, the Portuguese adaptation of the Barcelona-based festival, and Rock in Rio, which is held every two years in Lisbon, as well as NOS Alive.

Public holidays that may impact travel include:

• Liberty Day
• Portugal Day
• Corpus Christi
• Assumption of Mary
• Republic Implantation
• All Saints’ Day
• Restoration of Independence
• Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Please note that the dates of  Portugal's public holidays  may vary.

Portugal offers up the full gamut of shopping experiences from big city malls to dusty little antique stores hidden in the winding backstreets. Shopping not really your thing? That's fine, just eat your way through the country instead.

Remember, it's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

A great keepsake from a trip to Portugal is a bottle of fortified from its spiritual home. Wander down Porto’s steep streets to the harbor and spend some time visiting the port houses lining the water. You can do tastings, enjoy a meal and pick up a bottle from famous houses like Taylor’s and Sandeman’s, or opt for something a little different like Kopke, which is the oldest port house in Porto and has been producing the sweet stuff since 1638.

Azulejos are colorful, decorative tiles that can be found on surfaces all over Portugal. They were used as a form of art as well as to control the temperature in homes. The tiles are classically blue and white, although they are found in other colors, and can be bought brand-new or found in antique stores across the country.

Galo de Barcelos

The Rooster of Barcelos is the unofficial symbol of Portugal. There are various legends surrounding the rooster, but they all come back to a passing pilgrim claiming his innocence and declaring that a cooked rooster on the dinner table would rise and crow at the hour of his hanging. Every souvenir shop in the country will have various gifts relating to the rooster, but it’s worth keeping an eye out in the various markets for a more authentic, locally crafted example.

Portugal travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Portugal?

The months of May, June and September are considered some of the best times to see Portugal as the weather is usually fine (yet not too hot) and the attractions are less crowded than during the peak months of July and August. Autumn and winter are typically rainy and windy, yet sunny days aren't rare either. If you’re after a beach holiday, keep in mind that the water temperature on Portugal’s north coast will be very cool, even during the summer months.

Is it safe to visit Portugal?

Yes, it is safe to visit Portugal. Travelers should exercise normal precautions and keep a close eye on their belongings in crowds and heavily touristed areas.

Do I need a visa to travel to Portugal?

Portugal is a member of the Schengen Convention, which means that if you travel to an EU member country or countries, like Portugal, for a total of less than 90 days, a visa is not required. Citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US, the UK and other member countries of the EU and Schengen area are included under this arrangement.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your country of origin. Check the Essential Trip Information section of your tour itinerary for more information.

Is tipping customary in Portugal?

Tipping isn’t customary in Portugal except at restaurants. Adding 10 percent to the bill should be fine, or more if the service has been exceptionally good. Rounding up to the nearest euro will be appreciated by bar staff and taxi drivers too, but this is not expected. When staying at a hotel it's also standard to tip the luggage porter one euro per bag.

What is the internet access like in Portugal?

Internet access in Portugal is generally good with widespread wi-fi in both cities and smaller towns. You may wish to purchase a local SIM. The main domestic carriers are Vodafone, TMN and Optimus, but make sure your phone is unlocked before purchasing a prepaid SIM.

Can I use my cell phone while in Portugal?

Travelers should be able to use their cell phones across Portugal. The most economical way to use your phone in Portugal is by purchasing a local prepaid SIM. If you wish to use your own SIM, be sure to activate global roaming before departing your home country and always check with your carrier as to any additional charges that may be incurred.

What are the toilets like in Portugal?

Flushable, Western-style toilets are the norm in Portugal. Please be aware that sometimes a small fee is required to access public toilets, so it’s worth having a small stash of euro coins for when the need arises.

Can I drink the water in Portugal?

The tap water in Portugal is safe to drink unless marked otherwise. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water and fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Portugal?

Most restaurants, hotels and larger shops in Portugal’s cities and tourist areas will accept credit cards. Smaller eateries and shops may not, so make sure you have some euro on you for smaller purchases or when visiting less frequented areas.

What is ATM access like in Portugal?

There are ATMs in all cities and most towns in Portugal. The smaller villages may not have ATMs so once again, make sure you have some cash if you plan on heading somewhere more rural.

What is the weather like in Portugal?

Portugal is one of Europe’s warmest countries. Yearly temperature averages are about 55°F in the north and 64°F in the south.

Spring and summer months are usually warm and sunny, with July and August averaging maximums between 77°F and 86°F in Porto, around 86°F in Lisbon and 86–95°F in the south. These coastal areas tend to be cooler thanks to the ocean breeze.

Is Portugal safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Portugal legalized same-sex marriage in 2010 and has passed legislation protecting LGBT-identifying people from discrimination. Most Portuguese are open-minded and unconcerned when it comes to sexuality, particularly in the more touristed areas of Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve, but it’s worth remembering that Portugal is a Catholic country in which homosexuality is still not regarded as being ‘normal’.

As far as scenes go, Lisbon has a more prominent community and the annual highlights are the Lisboa Pride Festival in June and September’s QueerLisboa Film Festival. For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Portugal accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Facilities for people with physical limitations are lacking in Portugal when compared to many other European countries. On top of this, Lisbon and Porto are very hilly, with lots of stairs and cobblestones, and visitors with disabilities may have trouble getting around.

That said, things are improving and newer hotels and restaurants, as well as modern museums, have accessible facilities. The best transportation for those with disabilities is train, with an increasing number of stations having ramps, lifts and disabled bathrooms.

As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

What to wear in Portugal

Pack for Portugal as you would for any other coastal European destination. If you’re traveling in the summertime, loose clothing that protects from the sun is best for the daytime, but be sure to cover your shoulders when visiting churches or other religious sites. The winters can get quite cool, as can the evenings in spring and autumn, so pack a warm jumper and a raincoat too. See our   ultimate packing list   for advice on what to bring.

What's the accommodation like in Portugal?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

Depending on which trip you're on while in Portugal, you may find yourself traveling by:

Most hotels used on Intrepid tours through Portugal are small, family-run guesthouses, so expect staircases instead of lifts and small rooms big on character.

Does my trip to Portugal support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Turkey directly support our foundation partner, REFOOD.

Portugal Vacations

Prolific portugal is a soulful song, an azure ocean, a terraced vineyard..

The rocky coastline of Portugal’s Iberian Peninsula skirts the Atlantic Ocean and provides the backdrop for this diverse land where 10 million people reside.  The deep blue waters have floated the famed ships of Portuguese explorers centuries ago and have then and now provided the Portuguese people with their main staples: cod and sardines. An independent country since the 11th century, Portugal has its own traditions, cuisine and culture which has remained relatively unchanged.   With Spain flanking one side, the two countries may border each other but are very different, from language to cuisine to culture. The Douro River in the north nourishes the terraced vineyards of one of the oldest wine appellations in the world, while the Tagus River waters the flat and fertile Ribatejo plain in the northwest.  The Algarve is a paradise of wide, sandy beaches and surfers, while the orange roof tiles of Lisbon and Porto house people of cosmopolitan cities. A country dripping in history and tradition fused with modern fun; the Portuguese are an emotive people, passionate about festas and watching football, their Catholic faith and their love of their country. Maybe this pride comes from the country’s foundation in 1143 or from the fact that Portugal was a world power during its “Age of Discovery” in the 15th and 16th centuries.  Ancient monasteries, Roman temples, Moorish influences and medieval castles, Portugal’s history adds a golden hue to any adventure here. Sip on crisp vinho verde beachside, boat the black-blue Douro, hike the surreal peaks of Serra da Estrela, and swoon over haunting Fado music at a Lisbon tavern; Portugal is full of distinctive experiences.

Handcrafted Journeys to our Most Popular Places in Portugal.

Traditions transcend time in pastoral Portugal.

Cliffs to castles, port wine to pastries, Portugal is rife with pleasures.  The Atlantic Ocean cups the one side of the country where rocky outcrops and slips of sand offer themselves up to visitors.  The interior, a historic fantasy, complete with an undulating countryside full of stories and intrigue, Portugal is as picturesque as it is interesting. The winding Douro flanked by ancient vineyards, the magical islands of Madeira and The Azores, finding your happy place is a piece of pão-de-ló (cake).

The Culture

Portugal is a country steeped in well-established traditions. With Spain hugging the west of the land, Portugal has made a point to create and uphold their own distinctive culture which is embedded into the daily life of people.  Portuguese is a Latin language and is the 5th most spoken language in the world. Practise your best boa tarde! (good afternoon) and join in the fun of a feira or festa, a wonderful way to dive into the heart of Portuguese culture.  Celebrations of love (Festa de São Gonçalo, beginning of June) and summer (São João, end of June), the harvest (Festa das Vindimas, early September), and the Catholic religion (Carnaval, Easter) and even sweets (International Chocolate Festival, March) reveal the Portuguese psyche like nothing else. 

Catching a soccer game while you are visiting is another way to connect yourself to the heart of the Portuguese. Soccer is a national passion and watching a game at a neighbourhood bar while snacking on creamy lupini beans and sipping a cool Sagres is a classic way to spend an afternoon like you live there.

Roman Catholicism is the most followed religion in the country (85% of the population are Catholic) and parades, processions, and pilgrimages happen monthly throughout the country. Churches are ornate and worth visiting to take in the inspiring Portuguese Colonial, Baroque or Gothic architecture. Dress like a local with covered arms and longer shorts or skirts when you enter; light a candle for someone you love, or for Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers.

Soulful Fado music is quintessentially Portuguese and can serve as the soundtrack for your travel experience. Hauntingly beautiful and classified by UNESCO World Heritage, Fado is another quintessential expression of what it is to be Portuguese. You can hear it at night in a fado house, a traditional neighbourhood, or at lively bars and nightclubs. Enjoy a captivating array of sounds and environments, from reggae to African music, new wave, indie or electronic. All are good excuses to share a drink and dance the night away!

The Best Time to Visit

In Portugal, it’s best to select a region and a style of travel as an indicator of the best time to visit.  Those who enjoy physical activities such as hiking, nature walks, golfing, cycling, meandering cobblestone streets without breaking a sweat; perhaps the cooler days of the spring or fall are more ideal. Fall sees vibrant leaves on the trees and vineyards in the north and festas to celebrate the harvest abound. There are fewer visitors to Portugal during these shoulder seasons and hiking through the hilltop villages dotted throughout the country is quieter. The summer in Portugal is a dream for anyone interested in water sports or the beach life. The Alentejo coast and the Algarve are alive and full of action from June-August when kite boarders, swimmers, beach bums and even scuba divers descend on the sapphire waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Summer is the busiest time to visit anywhere in Europe, but the influx of visitors does make the larger cities feel more alive and hopping. Jazz, rock, classical and other music festivals, soccer games and outdoor patios add a pulse to Portugal which seems to override the crowds.  

In the north, places like the Douro Valley where grapes bask in the sun and the breeze is still, it’s best to adopt a slow pace. Perhaps sip a tonic and tawny by the water’s edge and dream about wooden Rabelo boats taking wine to England hundreds of years before. Winters are damp and cool, with lots of rain and often deep fog in the mountains and hillsides. The cooler weather makes for a cozy time, ideal for scarves and art galleries, museums and belly-warming cuisine paired with a black Touriga Nacional and live, fiery Fado.

Things to Know

Portugal is a country of endless stories. From the people who work the Douro Valley vineyards, singing while they hand pick grapes destined for port wine, to the fashion forward clothing designers of cosmopolitan Lisbon, to the families who have run the same beach side cafés specializing in Algarvean espadarte fumado (smoked swordfish) since Napoleonic Wars; the people of Portugal are as intriguing as their history.  Fado music which is considered the sound of the Portuguese soul, is a plaintive saga which begs to be heard. Even the blue painted tiles called Azulejos, silently whisper tales of conquest, war and love from the walls.

This is a country which prides itself on its long-standing independence; the legends of Portugal are part of why this country is worth a significant chunk of time to peruse. This means a savvy traveller will allow extra time to see, hear and experience all that Portugal has to offer by not cramming into too many activities into their day. Make modest daily plans with the option to meander. A smattering of the language such as a warm obrigado/a (thank you) is appreciated. Strike up a conversation with locals about current day politics or what Christian Ronaldo is up to as the captain of the national soccer team at a local coffee shop to feel like you live there.

Dinners are eaten late in Portugal, giving active travellers time for rest after a solid day of exploring. The Portuguese dress elegantly and somewhat conservatively.  With excellent clothing and shoe stores available the country over, save some room in your bags for local fashions which you can wear out in Portugal and back home.

Food & Drink

Steaming, fragrant bowls of caldo verde with a glass of amber tawny port on the banks of the snaking Douro River. Chewy, bite size snails with a crisp beer along the salty Atlantic. Black coffee with fãlakey, a custard-filled pastry, along the cobblestone streets of Lisbon; the cuisine will delight you. From casual dining at a train station to the foodie fantasy of high-level fusion gastronomy, Portugal is a land to indulge your taste buds.

Bounty from the ocean is the backbone of Portuguese fare. Fresh or salted cod may be the quintessential Portuguese fish and should be sampled in one of the 350+ ways to prepare it, but other seafood such as clams spiced with hot piri piri and saffron are distinctive in Portuguese flavours. Meats feature prominently with hearty dishes of wine-soaked pork and beef and pork stew with beans; ideal to fend off the cool winters in the north. A multitude of dried sausages, often served as starters, even before you’ve ordered them, are best paired with a fresh green wine or a Super Bock beer from the bottle.  Olives are abundant and so is the use of olive oil which is produced locally. Vegetables such as kale, beans and potatoes are used in many dishes, however there are few vegetarian options in most restaurants in the country. Seeking out modern Portuguese menus with new takes on traditional food, is not only interesting, but will satisfy more complex taste buds or dietary requirements. The larger cities of Porto and Lisbon for example, have seen an explosion of sophisticated boutique restaurants in the past decade.

The Douro Valley is one of the most scenic wine regions in the world and produces Portugal’s pride and joy: port. A complex category steeped in history, tasting a 40-year-old tawny port while watching workers tend to grapes along terraced vineyards built by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, feels like a commercial for the ultimate wine country life.  Vinho verde is a young fresh wine which from Minho in the north which should be enjoyed at lunch or along the waterfront. With hundreds of grape varietals grown across Portugal, there is sure to be a wine to suit your palate.
