When to go to Portugal?

Even though Portugal enjoys a mild climate almost all year round, I would like to point out some things to you:

The months of July and August are ideal for a seaside holiday, but in the cities the temperatures very often exceed 35 degrees, making the temperatures not very pleasant. walks in the historic centres. Furthermore, in these months Portugal is overrun by tourists and by the Portuguese themselves who are on holiday. So if you don't want to find yourself in the middle of traffic in 40 degree heat together with millions of tourists, avoid these months!!

I advise against winter as in Portugal there are some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and it would be a shame not to stop.

The best period for an on the road in Portugal corresponds to late spring (May, June) and early autumn (September and October ).In these months you will avoid the crowds of tourists and the temperatures will be excellent both for walking in the city and for stopping by the sea for a swim! Furthermore, these are the low season months, therefore much cheaper to book flights and hotels!
