Travel Tips for Portugal

With a fantastic wealth of stunning landscapes, incredible food, and gorgeous towns, it’s no wonder Portugal is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations. Portugal has right-hand side roads and overtakes on the left. On major highways, the middle lane is for overtaking. Be sure to stick to the speed limit and take care when driving through some of the more rural areas!

Portugal is a relatively small country, so it’s a great place to get around in a rental car. Visit the idyllic city of Porto, a riverside town that is fabulously picturesque and filled with charming restaurants, cafes, and bars.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and boasts a warm climate, stunning architecture, and, once again, delicious traditional cuisine. Visitors must sample Portugal’s sardines, bacalao (salted codfish), and the much-loved custard tarts pastel de nata. Not to forget the exciting range of Portuguese wines! Lisbon is a gorgeous and vibrant port city famous for the Jeronimos Monastery and the Belem Tower, both listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

There are many fantastic driving trips in Portugal. Go from Porto to the Douro Valley, travel from Lagos to faro, or explore the Azores region. Make time to see Madeira Island and the Algarve coastline. Portugal has so much to offer; you’ll be amazed!
