- Portugal ↗Portugal is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- Portugal ↗Alfa Pendular and Intercidades trains assign seats: book Lisbon–Porto ahead in summer and on holiday weekends.
- Portugal ↗Many motorways, including the Algarve's A22, use electronic tolls only: ask the hire company for a transponder before you drive off.
- Lisbon ↗Alfama and Bairro Alto streets are steep, stepped cobbles: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Lisbon ↗Tram 28 and Elevador da Glória queues are long and pickpockets work them: ride early or take a taxi up the hill.
