Wanted to share current pricing for Portugal based on my recent visit.
Short Time (1-2 hours):
Budget: $30-50 / Mid-range: $50-80 / Premium: $80-150+
Long Time (overnight):
Usually 2-3x the short time rate. Negotiate upfront.
Tips:
Pay agreed price, tips not part of culture here.
What are others paying currently?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $89/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
