Prepare visa
Before coming to Portugal, visitors need to make sure they have prepared all the necessary documents to apply for a Schengen visa. The documents include a visa application form, a recent photograph, a valid passport, travel insurance and proof of financial resources. The visa application process can take 15 – 30 working days, so visitors should prepare in advance to avoid delays. If the documents are complete and valid, the visa application will be simpler.
The right time to travel
Portugal has a mild, pleasant climate all year round, however, the period from May to September is considered the most suitable time to travel. In summer, the weather is warm, the sun is bright, very suitable for outdoor activities and visiting famous beaches. In addition, spring and autumn are also ideal times to avoid the crowds and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Portugal.
Buy plane tickets early
To have a budget trip, buying air tickets early is essential. Travelers should book tickets at least 2-3 months before departure to get good prices and many options for flight times. Some airlines often have promotions for cheap tickets to Portugal, so it is important to follow the information and compare ticket prices between airlines. In addition, choosing a mid-week flight date often saves more money than a weekend.
Plan your visit
Portugal has a wide range of attractions, from big cities like Lisbon and Porto to coastal fishing villages and tranquil countryside. Visitors should plan carefully where they want to go, how long they want to spend between them, and prioritize activities that suit their personal interests. Don’t forget to visit ancient architecture, sample famous wines in the Douro Valley, and explore the natural beauty of Sintra.
