What is Portugal famous for? Wine, for sure; this is where you’ll find some of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world. In fact, two of Portugal’s wine-growing regions, the Douro Valley and Pico Island in the Azores, are protected as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Saint George’s Castle or Castelo de São Jorge in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon is the number one tourist attraction in Portugal. The castle receives over 2 million visitors every year.
The best time to visit Portugal is in spring (March-May), when the country is in bloom and waking after the winter. You could also go in autumn (between September and October) when the sun is still shining, the weather is warm, and many of the crowds have dispersed.
Low season months of November to March are a cheaper time to visit. If you want to escape the crowds and enjoy rock-bottom prices on accommodations, plan your trip for the low season.
