A small request

Dress code

Travel-poster style: a linen shirt, a summer dress, a Panama hat and espadrilles with a luggage tag

Summer elegant. In early October it is still 24 degrees during the day, but the evening breeze comes in off the sea – bring something for your shoulders. Linen is very much encouraged.

We would love to see you

Questions & answers

Do I need a passport?

Not within the EU – a national ID card is enough.

What will the weather be like?

Mostly sunny, around 24 degrees. Evenings can be cool – a light jacket is a good idea.

Do I need to speak Portuguese?

No. But an “obrigado” or “obrigada” opens a lot of doors.

Can I stay longer?

Absolutely! Lisbon and the coast are at their loveliest in October. We are happy to share tips.
