The best time to visit
The best time to visit Portugal is during the spring ( May) and fall (September to October). Here's why:
-
Spring (March to May): The weather is pleasant with mild temperatures and blooming landscapes. This period is ideal for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and exploring the countryside without the heat of summer.
-
Fall (September to October): The weather remains warm, and the crowds from the peak summer season have thinned out. It's a great time to enjoy Portugal’s coastal areas and participate in local festivals, with the added bonus of beautiful autumn colors in the countryside.
Both seasons offer a more relaxed experience compared to the busy summer months, making them perfect for exploring Portugal's diverse regions, from vibrant cities to serene coastal towns.
-
September to October: Early fall is an excellent time to visit, as the weather remains warm, the summer crowds start to thin out, and the islands take on a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. This period also offers stunning fall foliage and harvest festivals, adding a unique charm to your visit.
