I visited Portugal recently for 12 days and had a great experience.
The scene is Slightly quieter but worthwhile. Excellent value.
Spent about $138/day on the hobby side. Best part was the variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
Happy to answer questions.
Is Portugal worth visiting?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
