Welcome to…Portugal!
If you haven’t been to Portugal before… what have you been waiting on, girlfriend? Portugal is full of amazing scenery, unique cities, and incredible wine. From the north and the Duoro Valley to the South known as the Algarve – this tiny country packs a powerful punch, and there is truly something for everyone. This Portugal travel guide is going to help you figure out where to go in Portugal, what to DO in Portugal, and most importantly, where to stay and EAT and DRINK in Portugal!
I first went to Portugal in March of 2022 for a work trip – I worked with one of our preferred partner companies in conjunction with Explorateur Travel to go on a Familiarisation (aka FAM) trip to help me help YOU learn all about Portugal! So when I write this Portugal travel guide, know that I am writing it after having traveled and trained with the experts, and am giving you the absolute very most of my knowledge, and theirs!
I hope you find this Portugal Travel Guide useful in helping plan your upcoming trip. I know travel can be a bit overwhelming at times, so if you need any help planning at all, don’t hesitate to send me an email or find me on Instagram& slide into those DMs.
So, welcome to Portugal – come on in, the water is nice!
happy travels!
Keep it groovy,
xx

PORTUGAL TRAVEL GUIDE – NEED TO KNOW:
???? BEST TIME TO TRAVEL:
April – June & September & October. AVOID July & August if you aren’t a fan of big crowds , with massive heat. Tourists come to Portugal from all over – many from Germany, England, and Spain and the US market is growing rapidly!
???? CURRENCY:
Portugal uses the Euro. How to spend money and avoid ridiculous fees??!! I have a Revolut Bank account to easily transfer currencies & see current exchange rates- its like an amazing version of Paypal & Venmo all at once! Sign up here!
???? WEATHER:
Portugal has on average more than 300 sunny days per year. So while you likely won’t encounter rain, the winters do tend to lean on the side of wet. Summers are hot, dry, and everything you dreamed European summer would be!
???? LANGUAGE:
The official language of Portugal is Portuguese! However almost everyone in Portugal also speaks Spanish and many speak English as well – and a few even know German!
???? AVERAGE COST OF ACCOMODATION:
Portugal is a much more economical destination than Spain, and many other of it’s European counterparts. Expect this to change in the upcoming years though with the rise of Portugal as a destination for American travelers.
The average nigthtly cost for a hostel will start around €15 a night.
Starting prices for hotels: 1* €50, 2* €80, 3* 100-150, 4* Hotels €200-300, 5* Hotels €300+

A note from my travels…
It might seem a little strange, but there are lots of similarities between Portugal and Morocco. From the beautiful ceramic tiles, to the architecture and even some of the foods.
Casa Blanca and much of the coast have very close ties to Morocco, and after visiting the two countries back to back it was very interesting to see their similarities in a new light!

For an eco-conscious trip to wine country, Six Senses Douro Valley ticks all the boxes. Localness, freshness, and quality go into its cultivation of wine, food, and overall well-being. Go canoeing, kayaking, and tree climbing; or get grounded with yogic detox programs and an alchemy bar for blending body treatments. The grape rules here, with a wine library for tastings and a seemingly neverending cellar. Discover citrus-based spa treatments, or take a river cruise, or a helicopter tour to fully absorb the Douro.

The intercity trains in Portugal are very reliable and so is the internet. The small cost of an upgrade to the first class cart is worth it.
Ubers are available in the major cities in Portugal.
Portugal is a stunning destination and is mostly filled with other European tourists, Americans are not yet flocking there by the hundreds. This allows for Portugal to still be a relatively more economical country compared to its more popular counterparts like Spain and Italy.
I hope you like seafood because the Portuguese are obsessed with it! You will also find amazing delicacies like chorizo, black pork, and more.
ObrigadO is thank you for men, and ObrigadA is thank you for women!
Like most European countries, you will have to pay for water and bread baskets.
Bring cash! Many artisans will not take card, and unlike Spain, even in shops and markets cash will be the only currency accepted.
Tipping isn’t expected, though it is always appreciated. 10% is more than sufficient.

Before you go I HIGHLY suggest purchasing travel insurance! If 2020-2022 taught us anything, it’s that we know NOTHING! Everything can change in a second.
Travel Insured is my preferred partner when it comes to protecting my trips! Make sure to check out the Cancel for Any Reason & Bed Rest Options for extra coverage!
