Cheap holidays to Portugal are packed with culture, history and sandy shores. You can wander around galleries and museums, lounge on sun-soaked beaches, tuck into pasteis de nata (Portugal’s famous custard tarts) and still have plenty of cash left over.
In fact, Portugal is considered one of Europe’s most budget-friendly destinations. If you’re after a city break, the beginning of the year is a great time to bag a bargain, while beach holidays are generally cheaper in late spring and early autumn than at the height of summer.
Many big budget airlines fly regular routes to Portugal, making it easy to pick up cheap holiday packages. With wallet-friendly stays available in Faro, across the beachy Algarve and in the buzzing cities of Lisbon and Porto, there’s a Portuguese trip with your name on it.
