Everything You Need to Know
From the craggy Serra da Estrela mountains and ancient Camino Portugués pilgrim trail to spectacular Douro Valley wine country, Portugal’s varied landscapes take on a different character each season. In the springtime, expect the mountainous regions to be lush and dotted with wildflowers. In the fall, the fragrant forests of Peneda-Gerês National Park erupt in color and the wine region of Douro Valley is in full swing for the grape harvest.
While there’s no bad time to go to Portugal, the spring, summer, and fall are the best times for exploration, and particularly for hiking. The quiet winter months are a great time to experience Portugal’s cultural capitals of Lisbon, Porto, and Lamego, which you can discover on relaxing Douro River cruises.
Portugal has a wide array of things to see and do when you visit, and our itineraries make sure you get to experience the best of it all. We put together a list of the top things you have to do when you visit.
The sheer diversity of Portugal’s landscape, from volcanic island archipelagos to granite mountains and limestone coastal cliffs, is reflected in its wine production. With more than 200 native grape varieties, Portugal has a wine region to visit for every taste and desire.
To drive or not to drive? Portugal’s excellent public transportation makes it easy to reach most destinations by train or bus. That appetizer you didn’t order? It’s not complimentary—feel free to decline it.
