I visited Portugal in May, and it's a charming place. I'd recommend going in April, May, September, or October for milder weather and fewer crowds. Portugal is budget-friendly; we used Uber everywhere in Porto and Lisbon, which was cheaper than taking taxis. Some taxis only take cash, so be sure to check with the driver before getting in. We took the comfortable train ride from Porto to Lisbon and scored discounts by buying tickets in advance. Inform your bank about your travel plans; I did not do it and could only withdraw cash in Lisbon but not Porto. Many attractions are crowded, so consider tour options to skip the lines if time is important for you. Bring comfortable shoes!! Lots of walking on cobblestone streets and Lisbon is hilly.

We take several vacations per year and have found some items to be essential for land or cruise vacations. Additional tip- If you are traveling with a passport, make sure you make additional copies of your passport and email them to yourself and keep some copies with you. You don't want to lose your passport on a trip or have it stolen. Before a trip., I start packing small things and then as it get's closer I write down the items that are missing from that luggage on a sticky note and put it on the luggage. As I add that item, I cross of the item on the sticky note. It helps prevent missing items, but it still can happen, especially when kids do their own. When it comes time to leave and go home, we put all the dirty luggage into 1-2 pieces of luggage and then I can easily throw it all into the washer when we get home.
