The vibrant Portugal experience is made up of medieval castles, atmospheric villages, beautiful scenery, great food, countless fiestas, and brilliant cities. Its long, open, western coastline experiences great surf conditions, while the southern Algarve coast offers family friendly beaches. Lively Lisbon and romantic Porto both warrant some time to explore.

When to visit The main tourist season runs between April and October, spanning spring and autumn, with weather warm and dry except from occasional rain in May and June. During the winter months of November to March, cooler temperatures and higher rainfall can be expected.
