Summary of Rick Steves's Rick Steves Portugal

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Portugal is a hidden gem in Western Europe that is less touristed than other countries. Its traditional culture is preserved in the fishing town of Porto and the culturally rich capital of Lisbon. While it has experienced some economic success due to its membership in the European Union, it is still a good budget option compared to the tourist-mobbed destinations of Northern Europe.

#2 Portugal and Spain use the 24-hour clock for schedules. For anything over 12, subtract 12 and add p. m. (14:00 is 2:00 p. ). When giving opening times, include both peak season and off-season hours.

#3 Portugal: Past and Present gives you a quick overview of Portugal, from its prehistoric beginnings to the issues it faces today. The appendix is a traveler’s tool kit, with telephone tips, useful phone numbers, transportation basics, recommended books and films, a festival list, a climate chart, and Portuguese survival phrases.

#4 A smart trip is a puzzle that is doable and worthwhile. It is a fun and worthwhile challenge. It is worth mixing intense and relaxed periods in your itinerary. Assume you will return.
