C and FPortugal Highlights
Lisbon
Lisbon is a magical kind of place. Bright yellow trams glide along the tracks, whisking past timeless neighbourhoods where every street tells a story. Gaze out onto ocean views as you climb between Lisbon’s best viewpoints, reaching sunset-coloured rooftops. Portugal’s capital is about to take your breath away (we don’t just mean those hills!).
The Algarve
The Algarve is Portugal’s southernmost region, where you can escape to dreamy beaches from one end to the next. Iconic for a reason, it’s got everything you imagine when you picture Portugal. Rugged cliffs and sea caves. Blue skies and even brighter seas. Nights that spill effortlessly from sunset drinks to clubbing. Ready for it?
Porto
Tap into Porto’s potential to become your new happy place. Café-hopping, sunset picnics overlooking the river, colourful local markets and buzzing nightlife set the scene for this undeniably stunning city. From live music to famous bookshops, there’s something for every taste here. Porto doesn’t do boring!
Sintra
Not a believer in ‘Love at first sight?’ Step into Sintra, Portugal’s enchanted fairytale setting, and all of that is about to change. Wander through emerald gardens and gaze down at wishing wells. Get lost inside hilltop castles that feel straight out of a fantasy. No wonder it’s such a popular Lisbon day trip!
Surfing
Ask any surfer where you’ll find the best waves in Europe… The answer is always Portugal! From sheer variety to record-breaking heights (whatever you’re picturing right now, double it), no other country comes close. Portugal is also home to beginner-friendly waves, perfect for giving it a go yourself on a lesson led by the experts.
Portugal Travel Advice
Climate & Weather
Portugal enjoys a Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine every year. Summers are hot and dry, especially further south in the Algarve Region. Whereas winters are milder with more rain up north.
January is typically Portugal’s coldest month, as temperatures average between 5℃ and 15℃ depending on where you are in the country. Meanwhile, July through August is when temperatures peak, averaging at least 25℃ to 30℃.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit on our Portugal tours comes down to preference. Summer (June to August) is the most popular season, and is perfect for escaping to Portugal’s stunning beaches or enjoying the city nightlife in Lisbon or Porto.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) can also be amazing for sightseeing in cooler temperatures, whilst still enjoying the sunshine. Winter (December to February) is also favourable for budget travel.
Customs & Culture
Portuguese culture is relaxed and welcoming. Cultural customs are similar to those in the UK, although with a more laid-back attitude to punctuality. When visiting religious sites in Portugal, covering your knees and shoulders is encouraged.
Major highlights of visiting Portugal include trying the local cuisine, which changes depending on whether you are based in the north or south of the country, from stews to seafood. Fado music and football are also long-standing traditions.
Passports & Visas
Entry requirements and visa regulations are different for every destination and your purpose of travel. We recommend staying updated on the latest official information before you go travelling. Your passport should be undamaged and have enough blank pages for stamps and visas. Many countries require your passport to have at least 6 months of validity beyond the date of entry.

At Adventure360, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. From the moment your trip is confirmed until you arrive back home, you'll have access to a 24/7 emergency contact number for any urgent issues. For anything non-urgent, our friendly team is also available during office hours to help.
