Travel in Portugal
Portugal has several airports and it is possible to fly into Lisbon, Porto and Faro, the three major cities of the country. You can travel by train but this mostly between the major cities. In order to get around in the countryside and be more flexible, renting a car is highly recommended. When exploring the main cities, using the public transport is generally not necessary as everything is in walking distance. However, Lisbon and Porto both have underground systems and taxis are affordable.
Portugal's weather
Portugal has a warm Mediterranean climate with temperatures varying between 16°C and 25°C, depending on the season. While July and August have the warmest temperatures, Portugal will show itself from its prettiest side in April and May, with all its spring flowers and mild temperatures. Between November and March you will see the wettest months, although the rain never falls for too long.
Best Sights in Portugal
A highlight for visitors to Portugal is its vibrant capital Lisbon, with the iconic streetcars, colourful houses and romantic, winding lanes.

With a five-minute biking distance to nearby markets and bakeries and lush hiking trails through nature, every day will be full of adventures.
Out on the town in Portugal
Even though most Portugal holiday lettings will provide you with your own cooking facilities, you should also enjoy the local cuisine and visit restaurants in the vicinity. In Lisbon, the Belcanto has become a favourite among travellers due to its top-notch quality and excellent wine menu. To learn more about Portuguese food and wines, you can join tours around wine regions and stock up on many full-bodied, fruity wines.

Excursion ideas
For those with wanderlust and a taste for hiking, excursions to Penedo-Gerês, Portugal's only national park, should be on your list.

Events and festivals
Portuguese summers are full of festivals. For a good dose of music, the NOS Alive and Super Bock, Super Rock in Lisbon, and NOS Primavera Sound in Porto are among visitors' favourites and will add some festive atmosphere to your stay at your Portugal holiday letting .
