  • The South (Algarve): Experiences long, hot summers and the mildest winters, making it sunny almost all year round.
  • The Central Coast (Lisbon): Has hot, dry summers, but the Atlantic breeze provides some relief. Winters are mild but can be rainy.
  • The North (Porto): Tends to be cooler and wetter, particularly in winter, with high rainfall from October through April.
  • The Interior: Summers are the hottest here, often exceeding 35∘C (95∘F), with dry conditions.

Business travellers should pack layers and always check the local forecast, especially if travelling between the north and south.

The official currency of Portugal is the Euro (€), with the international code EUR. Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted in all major cities and towns. ATMs are readily available throughout the country, known locally as Multibanco. Tipping is appreciated for good service, particularly in restaurants and taxis, with 5-10% being a common amount.
