When to celebrate
May, June, September and October are excellent across many regions. The Algarve stays sunny later, while inland summer celebrations can be very warm.

- Douro wine estates
- Algarve cliffs and beaches

The guest journey
Lisbon and Porto are the main international gateways. Many venues are reached by private transfer, and regional combinations can be built by road or rail.
What to protect
