I visited Portugal recently for 10 days and had a really enjoyable experience.

The scene is Better than expected. Pricing was fair.

Spent about $112/day on the hobby side. Best part was the variety.

Overall: 8/10. Would definitely return.

Happy to answer questions.

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

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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