Money Matters
|
| The currency in Portugal is the euro, formerly the escudo. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and they are widely accepted throughout the country.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
Be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards - in case of loss or theft this will come in handy.

Packing Tips
|
| Portugal's climate is almost always pleasant. The wet season endures from November to March. Light cottons and linens are best in the summer, light layers in the spring and fall, while the winter can get cold in the higher mountains, and warm layers and attire are appropriate.
Appropriate outdoor gear is necessary, whether skiing, hiking, skating or partaking in other activities.
