When to visit Portugal?

You can visit Portugal at any season of the year. Indeed, with a Mediterranean climate, the temperatures are pretty good. Summers are not too hot, around 30 degrees, while winter can be between 8 and 15 degrees. Snow can even appear in the Serra da Estrela massif at an altitude of 2,000 m, where it is possible to ski.

It is, therefore, a trendy destination for its mild climate with an omnipresent sun.

What to do in Portugal

There is no shortage of things to do in Portugal, and there is something for everyone. Here are the most beautiful places to visit in Portugal.

Visiting the south of Portugal

The south of Portugal is known for its sublime landscapes, particularly the Algarve region. Orange-coloured cliffs, golden sandy beaches with crystal clear water, and caves, this Portuguese region is a little paradise on Earth.

What to see in Algarve and what to do are questions you may have.

Cape St. Vincent: Portugal's extreme southwest is the world's end! It is the ideal place to enjoy a majestic sunset over the sea and its 80-meter-high cliffs.

Lagos: a charming little town, less touristy than Albufeira, you can easily spend half a day wandering around the old city, shopping, and stopping at a restaurant.

Take a trip to the caves: On board a small fisherman's boat, you will discover small coves and caves along the cliffs. For the more sporty, rent a kayak and go on an adventure.

Visit the market of Loulé: It is held every day except Sunday and will allow you to discover authentic local products, fish, and crafts.

As you can see, the Algarve is a place to visit during your stay in Portugal. Everyone will enjoy this beautiful Portuguese region, children, adults, and young people.

Visiting Northern Portugal

If you are looking for culture and authentic landscapes, the North is a perfect destination.

Porto is a city in Portugal, located in the North of the country, and it has a lot to offer. The second largest city in the country, it is home to a historic center, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Indeed, the medieval centre, called Ribeira, is a labyrinth of colourful streets and steep staircases.

Go and lose yourself in the Portuguese Venice, in Aveiro. This small town is unique to see between the sea and the ponds. Ride your bike on the ferry through the São Jacinto dunes nature reserve.

Portugal's most beautiful lakes

While one immediately thinks of Portugal's most beautiful beaches, there are also some sublime lakes to see in this small country. Forests surround some, others by meadows. Here are the top 4 most beautiful lakes.

Lagoa do Congro

Located on the island of São Miguel in the Azores, Lagoa Do Congro has crystal clear water and rich vegetation. The place is ideally suited for kayaking, swimming, and fishing.
