How I Scaled Portugal in 5 Days

Portugal seems to have become a popular destination among tourists but this country has always been booming with treasured gems.

One of the best things about Portugal is that if you’re on a budget, Portugal is easy on your pockets. Not only is it one of the cheaper European countries but it is also a great place to explore. You have breathtaking rock formations and beaches, medieval castles, and the best egg tarts you’ll ever have in your life!

For this trip, I did have a stricter budget to abide by but it was not difficult to accommodate. My Airbnbs in each city were less than $50/night. This is normally my preferred choice being that it’s more bang for your buck and you can find some really nice spots with super friendly and accommodating hosts!

I also didn’t have much time to work with but I made Portugal happen in 5 days (not including travel days). On top of that, I covered the north (Porto), middle (Lisbon), and south (Lagos). So, you know it’s real.

I started off in Porto (Oporto), then Lagos (Lagoa), and lastly Lisbon (Lisboa). It would have made sense to visit Lisbon after Porto to just trek down to Lagos but I had Lisbon as the last leg of my trip to simply to make it easier to fly home back to the states.

I was told that two days in Porto was sufficient but due to the time crunch, I reduced it to a day to spend more time in the other cities; I gave Lagos 1.5 days, and Lisbon 2.5 so I could take a day trip to Sintra.
