Useful Tips

If you have more time, add a beach day in Algarve or try surfing. You can skip Lagos and Tavira if you've already been to the beach. Evora and Tomar can be combined into one day trip. If you are traveling with small children, it may be best to avoid some of the steep portions at the castles in Sintra and Guimaraes. Remember to bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat for Portugal's hot summer months.
