Rucksack's travel guide

The distances in Portugal are short and the roads are relatively good. We went on a road trip from Lisbon and north towards Porto and back, a trip I really recommend!

Cold Atlantic winds

On the Atlantic coast, it is not at all unusual for the temperature to be 18 degrees in the mornings in August. If you go inland, the temperature can be 40 degrees.

Tap water

Drinkable and usually quite tasty!

Pre-book restaurants

It was incredibly easy to find great restaurants with deals all over northern Portugal with theFork. Saves time and money to book in advance!

Tip

We had read that you are sometimes expected to leave a tip, but we never even got the chance to do so!
