We’ll start with the good news: Portugal is a small country and one of the most affordable countries in Western Europe. We have just returned from our 3rd time in Portugal and have a good idea what the costs of visiting this country are right now. It’s a captivating country of cliff-laden coastlines, with sea caves like Benagil and picturesque village scenery less than an hour inland. And that’s all before even thinking about its hearty cuisine, which is full of delicious pastries and seafood dishes.

As a whole, Portugal is not expensive to visit, especially when compared to other European countries. But if you want to save money even further, there are definite ways to do so. Whether you choose to stay in major cities or a remote village near the Algarve.

As we’ve just said, Portugal is not one of the stereotypical expensive countries in Europe. Sure, you get the usual peak season rates, especially in tourist hotspots. But, overall, Portugal is great for those on a budget. It has such a laidback travel style that it naturally encourages lower prices. You have stunning landscapes and stunning beaches; chances are you’ll be lapping up nature for nothing more than public transportation costs at most.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results
