Not Your Average Globetrotter

When planning a move to Portugal or traveling here, it’s crucial to know what not to do to ensure a smooth experience. Avoid expecting early dining hours, limit your visit to Lisbon, or miss out on local treats like pastel de nata and francesinha. Don’t wear uncomfortable shoes on cobblestone streets, anticipate nightlife starting early, or over-tip in restaurants. Understanding public transportation and embracing local customs will significantly enhance your stay. By respecting these guidelines, you’ll better enjoy Portugal’s unique lifestyle and enrich your adventure across its historic cities and beyond.
