If you don’t want them, just send them away – a polite "no thank you" ( não obrigado/a) will do the job. Keep in mind that these unordered items will always be added to your bill if you choose to partake. Servers often bring bread, butter, olives and even cheese or other appetizers to diners before their meal.

Remember the cardinal rule of dining in Portugal: nothing is free From Faro airport in the south, you can take the Vamus Algarve Aerobus, which shuttles into Faro and also to the key towns of Albufeira, Lagoa, Portimão and Lagos. The Lisbon metro’s linha vermelha (red line) can get you into the center as can the speedy Aerobus, while Porto’s metro (violet line E) runs from the airport to the heart of town. Portugal’s three international airports all have good options for whisking you into town.
Speaking of trains and buses, as soon as you arrive you can save money and cut down on CO2 emissions by hopping on public transport from the airport. The best, and often more spectacular way, to get around in the city is by public transport © Alexander Spatari / Getty Images Don’t bother taking a taxi from the airport If you’re traveling off-season (November through March), you’ll have much more flexibility – so you can book your first few nights and plan your other nights on the go. Once you have your itinerary organized, reserve your lodging. This is especially true if you’re traveling in the peak months of June through August. Portugal’s growing popularity means some of the best places to stay get booked up months in advance. If you have something more active in mind, plan a hiking outing in the mountains of the Serra da Estrela, which you can pair with time spent exploring craggy villages like Manteigas and Linhares, as well as the university town of Coimbra. Beach-lovers might skip city life altogether and spend their time in the Algarve, checking out cliff-backed beaches, hidden coves and sleepy fishing villages. If you have Lisbon in mind, you can spend several days there, along with day trips to Cascais, Sintra and the beach-dotted Setúbal Peninsula, or spend a couple of days in Évora or on the lovely Alentejo coastline.Ī great northern itinerary combines Porto with some vineyard visits along the picturesque Douro River. With a week at your disposal, you can combine a bit of urban adventure with scenic getaways nearby. The mountains, the seaside, cobblestone-lined city streets? Portugal has plenty of options when it comes to travel. Combine some time in a city like Lisbon (pictured) or Porto with day trips to nearby regions © TomasSereda / Getty Images Decide where to go
