Essential Information for Portugal Travel
Portugal is one of the most value-for-money travel destinations in terms of transport, lodging, food and drink and attractions. Still, rates can be higher in some of the more popular areas and during the high season. If you're planning a trip during the peak season, be sure to book travel, accommodation and any tours or excursions in advance to save on your trip.
How to Get to Portugal
Portugal has an extensive transport network of international airports, railways and roadways. You can easily fly into Portugal's major cities from other European destinations. In each region of the country, you'll find different modes of transport available, but you can always hire a car to ensure that you can get wherever you need to go.
When to Visit Portugal
The peak seasons and weather can vary by region, but in general, it's best to visit Portugal during the spring months of March to May. The flowers are in bloom, the weather is warm and sunny, and there are fewer travellers. You could also visit during autumn, which still has sunny days and warm temperatures. The busiest season is summer, so you may find that certain regions are crowded during those months. Known for its subtropical climate, Madeira is an all-year destination.
