Small Country, Big Choice: How to Actually Move Around Portugal
Portugal is compact, which makes getting around pleasantly simple once you understand your options. Between fast trains, extensive coach networks, metros, trams, ferries, taxis, ride‑hailing and rental cars, you can usually reach any major town in under four hours without needing a domestic flight.
Beyond “Just Go to the Algarve”: A Real 2026 Beach Map for Portugal
Portugal’s coastline is only about 1,800 km long, but it packs in almost every kind of beach: golden coves under cliffs, wide family bays, wild surf spots, river‑mouth lagoons and tiny coves you reach by dirt track or cliff path. The Algarve gets the headlines, yet some of the most magical places sit on the west coast, in Alentejo, around Lisbon and on the islands.
Portugal Is More Than Cod & Custard Tarts – It’s a Whole Map of Comfort Food
Most people land in Portugal knowing “bacalhau and pastéis de nata”, and maybe grilled sardines. In reality, Portuguese food in 2026 is a deep comfort‑food universe: cod in dozens of recipes, stews from the north, pork‑and‑clam surf‑and‑turf from Alentejo, octopus bathed in olive oil, giant Porto sandwiches and tiny petiscos that turn simple wine bars into full dinners.
Think in Seasons, Not Just “Summer Holidays”
Portugal is one of the few European countries where you can visit or live comfortably in every season – but the experience changes a lot between spring shoulder‑season city trips, peak‑summer Algarve beach crowds and quiet, rainy but mild winters in the north and interior. If you plan only around July and August, you miss half of what the country feels like to live in.
