PACKING TIPS FOR PORTUGAL

Swimsuit

Prep yourself for sun-drenched days and stunning beaches on your Portugal getaway. Pack a swimsuit and towel and you’ll be ready to go.

A Portuguese phrasebook

Forget Spanish… in Portugal they speak Portuguese! Learn a few common phrases and try speaking with the locals. You’ll likely earn a few extra smiles.

Sun protection

With over 3,000 hours of sunshine every year, a Portugal trip calls for a hat, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN PORTUGAL

Bring a reusable bottle

Tap water is safe to drink in almost all of Portugal (if in doubt, ask your Travel Director), so bring a reusable water bottle and cut back on waste.

Head to the market

If you want to taste the most delicious local food, shop at the markets. You’ll find the freshest fruit, vegetables, olives, pastries, bread, cheeses and wine.

Keep the swimwear at the beach

In Portugal, it’s considered disrespectful to wear a swimsuit anywhere but the beach, so remember to cover up once you leave the beach.
