How to have a brilliant, and cheap, holiday in Portugal - 🤑🤑🤑

We are one of the best value travel agents around! And Portugal is a great value destination so naturally, we're an iconic couple. If you don't believe us, check out our cheapest holidays to Portugal leaving next month. 👀 Yes, our prices are great! But, that's not all (you lucky people) because we've also got some tips for you on keeping your wallet happy when you're there!

☕ Make breakfast your cheap meal - if you're not on an all-inclusive deal, pop into a local pastelaria (bakery café) for breakfast rather than paying hotel prices. You'll get a proper Portuguese experience with a coffee, toastie, and pastry for under €5. Save your euros for lunch and dinner!

🍴 Look for lunch specials - many Portuguese restaurants offer "prato do dia" (dish of the day) at lunchtime, which usually includes soup, a main, dessert, and even a glass of wine for around €8-12. It's the same quality as dinner but half the price, so consider making lunch your main meal if you're watching the budget.

🕰️🍸 Time your drinks right - lots of bars have happy hour between 5pm-8pm with discounts or two-for-one offers. Beer and wine are already well-priced in Portugal (around €2-3), but happy hour makes them even better value!

🖼️Take advantage of free activities - Portugal's beaches are all public and free to enjoy, historic town centres cost nothing to wander through, and many museums offer free entry on certain days (often the first Sunday of each month). Walking, beach days, and exploring pretty villages won't cost you a penny.

🚌Use local transport - public buses and trains in Portugal are reliable and inexpensive. In the Algarve, you can hop between towns for just a few euros, and cities like Lisbon and Porto have great metro systems. If you're staying in a resort with transfers included, even better!

🏖️Mix eating out with picnic days - you don't have to eat at restaurants for every meal. Grab some fresh bread, local cheese, fruit, and a bottle of Portuguese wine from the supermarket for a fraction of restaurant prices. Perfect for beach picnics or balcony sundowners with a view.

🎫Book activities in advance when you can - some attractions offer online discounts for advance bookings. Waterpark tickets, boat trips, and tours are often cheaper when booked ahead rather than on the day, so it's worth having a quick look before you go.

📅Consider shoulder season travel - if your schedule allows, visiting in May, June, September, or October means you'll often get lower prices than peak summer while still enjoying lovely weather. The sea's warm, the sun's shining, and you'll have more space on the beaches. But if July or August works better for you, go for it - that's when the atmosphere's at its best!

Your best bet for a cheap Portugal jolly is to skip the summer rush and travel outside of peak season. Think Jan - March for a bit of cheeky winter sun that won't break the bank. Flights are usually a bit cheaper at this time of year too, so it's a win-win! If you're keen to save even more dosh though, then go for a budget-friendly hotel rather than splurging on something all-singing, all-dancing, and do yourself a favour...book with us. Promise we're not just bragging, but we offer stupidly low deposits (£30pp low) on all of our holidays booked at least 45 days in advance, and we've got a snazzy FlexiPay scheme so you can spread the cost of your vacay right up until you fly. Sound like the dream? We thought so 😉

Technically speaking, Lisbon has been crowned the cheapest place to visit in Portugal, so if you're up for a city break - you're in luck! Beach-lovers, don't get your swim trunks in a twist just yet, though. The Algarve is rated the third cheapest beach destination in Europe, so you can still get your dose of sun, sand and sea without the hefty price tag.

Portugal's one of the best-value destinations in Europe, which is why we love it! Compared to other popular sunny spots, your money goes further here. Meals at local restaurants typically cost €10-15 per person, beer's around €2-3, and activities like beaches are completely free. You can have a proper good holiday without spending a fortune, whether you're after budget-friendly fun or want to splash out on something special. The beauty of Portugal is there's something for every budget!

It really depends on how you holiday! All-inclusive can be brilliant value, especially for families (no more "Mum, I'm hungry" every five minutes!), or if you want to completely switch off without thinking about costs. Everything's paid for upfront, so you can relax and enjoy. However, if you're planning lots of day trips, want to explore local restaurants, or prefer flexibility, a B&B or self-catering package might work better for you. Portugal has incredible local food at great prices, so eating out can be both affordable and part of the experience. Have a think about your holiday style and compare what's included - we can help you find the package that gives you the best value!

We've got options for every budget! From comfortable 3-star hotels that offer brilliant value to gorgeous 4 and 5-star resorts where you can properly treat yourself. Self-catering apartments are great for families or groups who want their own space and the option to make some meals, while all-inclusive resorts are perfect if you want everything taken care of. The key is booking early - the best-value rooms and hotels sell out first, especially for popular dates. Have a browse through our Portugal holidays and you'll see there's something for everyone, whether you're watching the budget or ready to splash out!
