Have a better driving experience with our tips for Portugal. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in cities and 90-120 km/h in areas outside cities or on freeways. Right of way at unmarked intersections is to the vehicle on your right, and you must yield to cars in the roundabout when entering. All car occupants must wear a seat belt, and using mobile devices while driving is prohibited. If the weather is bad or you’re in a tunnel, the use of dipped headlights is required. There are several toll roads throughout Portugal, and you can pre-pay or pay with an electronic toll device.
Summer temperatures are moderate in coastal Portugal, on average in the low-80s. However, inland can be hotter. Yes, beaches are the main draw, but also consider exploring some of the hiking trails, whether on the Atlantic coast in the west or south of Portugal or in the north in the Vinho Verde region where you can also enjoy wine! If you want to soak in some sun, head to the Algarve for some of the best beaches in Europe. Special summer celebrations include Festa de Sao Joao and the Sintra Festival in June and July. Book a convertible with GPS for the ultimate summer road trip, or an SUV if you need more room.
