📅 Best Time to Visit Portugal
Best months: March–May, September–October
Mild year-round. Summer is hot in the south. Surf season September–March.
- Best spring/autumn; pre-book tickets online to skip queues (June–Sept queues can exceed 90 min). Jerónimos Monastery closed Mondays and June 13.
- Best spring/autumn when heat is manageable. São Jorge Castle is open daily year-round. June 13 is Santo António festival — Alfama is at its most festive but very crowded.
- Spring most beautiful with lush gardens and cooler temperatures. Pena Palace open daily year-round (closed Dec 25 & Jan 1); must pre-book timed entry — sells out weeks ahead in summer.
- Best in spring and autumn when outdoor markets are at their liveliest. Year-round availability; summer tours fill quickly so book ahead.
- Year-round; authentic casas de fado (A Baiuca, Mesa de Frades) peak Thu–Sat nights. Book ahead May–September when venues fill weeks in advance.
