The most suitable time to visit Portugal for a holiday depends on your preferences. Here is an overview of the periods with average temperatures and benefits: 

• Summer (June-August): average 20-30°C (milder on the coast, hotter inland). Long, sunny days, ideal for beach holidays, water sports, and festivals, especially in the Algarve. Popular period, so vibrant, but busier and more expensive.
• Autumn (September-November): average 15-25°C. Pleasantly warm, fewer tourists, perfect for sightseeing in cities like Lisbon and Porto or hiking in the Douro Valley. Chance of rain, especially in the north.
• Winter (December-March): average 10-15°C (milder in the south). A quiet period, ideal for cultural excursions to historical sites and fewer crowds. Rain is possible, especially in the north, but the Algarve remains mild.
• Spring (April-May): average 15-22°C. Blooming nature, mild weather, and fewer tourists. Perfect for exploring national parks, coastal areas, and cities without the summer crowds. Choose the period that suits your preference for weather, activities, and crowds! Tip: June to September are ideal for beach holidays; for city trips and nature, spring and autumn are quieter and more budget-friendly. Choose based on your preference for weather, activities, and crowds!
