Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Portugal
Spring and fall offer the best combination of good weather, long days, and plenty of tourist and cultural activities — particularly during Holy Week, Lisbon’s series of June festivals (which peak on St. Anthony’s Day, June 13), and Porto’s celebrations of St. John’s Day (June 23–24).
What is Portugal famous for? Wine, for sure; this is where you’ll find some of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world. In fact, two of Portugal’s wine-growing regions, the Douro Valley and Pico Island in the Azores, are protected as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Although Portugal has a coastline that faces the Atlantic Ocean, its climate is very much like that of most Mediterranean countries. This means it’s hot in the summer and temperate in the winter, which makes it popular with tourists looking for some winter sunshine.
