Top Tips for Travellers

A little planning can help you experience more of Portugal. From exploring beyond the main resorts to enjoying local food and transport, these simple tips will help you get more from your trip.

Explore Beyond the Main Cities

Lisbon and Porto are fantastic, but smaller towns such as Sintra, Évora, Coimbra and Óbidos can add a completely different dimension to your holiday.

Make Time for the Coast

Portugal's Atlantic coastline is one of its biggest attractions. Even if you are staying in a city, it is worth setting aside time for nearby beaches, fishing villages and coastal walks.

Try the Local Food

Portuguese cuisine changes from region to region, so look beyond the obvious favourites. Fresh seafood, grilled fish, regional cheeses, pastries and local wines are all part of the experience.

Use the Trains

Portugal's rail network makes it relatively easy to travel between major cities and towns. Lisbon and Porto in particular are well connected, making multi-centre trips straightforward to arrange.

Find Your Favourite Side of Portugal

Portugal can be breakfast beside the Atlantic, an afternoon exploring tiled streets, dinner overlooking a harbour or a journey through vineyard-covered countryside.


From city breaks and beach holidays to island adventures and scenic road trips, there is far more variety here than many travellers expect.


However you choose to experience it, start exploring Portugal and find the place that feels right for you.
