As one of the continent’s oldest nation-states, it balances a deep history of maritime exploration with a contemporary identity centered on relaxed coastal living, intricate Manueline architecture, and soulful Fado music.

Ler maisDicas de etiqueta
Greet people formally with a handshake or a double-kiss on the cheeks (starting with the right) when meeting socially.
Use first names immediately with someone you have just met; wait until you are invited to do so or see others doing it.
Say 'Obrigado' if you identify as male or 'Obrigada' if you identify as female to show appreciation.
Forget to adjust the gender ending of 'thank you' to match your own gender, regardless of who you are speaking to.
Compliment the food and the chef, as Portuguese culture takes immense pride in its culinary heritage.
Add salt, pepper, or piri-piri to your meal before tasting it, as this is often viewed as an insult to the cook's seasoning.
Dress modestly and respectfully when visiting churches, cathedrals, or small traditional rural villages.
Wear revealing beachwear, such as swimsuits or very short shorts, when entering religious buildings or formal establishments.
