Portugal at Every Budget: Top Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re on a budget, there are a few things to keep in mind!\u00a0Like with many destinations, Portugal\u2019s peak season, which happens to be summer, is also the most expensive. Especially touristy spots like Porto, Lisbon, and Algarve. Many hotels and accommodations hike their prices, airfares are high, and taxis and airport pick-ups may charge you more.<\/p>\n

It’s possible to find inexpensive options and attractions that offer free admissions, but they will be few and far between because you\u2019re also competing with the descending crowds.<\/p>\n

For guaranteed better prices, not to mention less foot traffic, try visiting in the spring and early autumn. There are lots of competitive prices to choose from, and you will still enjoy beautiful, blue-sky weather.<\/p>\n

No matter when you go, however, here are a few tips that will go a long way:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ditch the cab.\u00a0Taxi fares in Portugal aren’t as expensive as New York City or London, but they will rack up if you take them often enough. If you\u2019re on a budget, you\u2019re better off using Portugal\u2019s network of public transportation, which is pretty incredible.<\/li>\n
  2. Score free stuff. If you\u2019re a bit strapped for cash, there are still many ways to experience Portugal. Take advantage of the museums\u2019 free admission days, and visit historical places that don’t charge an entry fee.<\/li>\n
  3. Skip the appetizers.\u00a0That the selection of bread, olives, cheese, and sardines servers put on your table when you\u2019re dining out isn’t free! Restaurants will charge for those if you consume them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
