Top ten tips

      1 Use the formal form of address until you are asked to use the familiar form. Wait until you are invited to use first names.

      2 There is no official religion, but the population predominantly identifies as Roman Catholic, this being stronger in the north than in the south.

      3 It is a legal requirement in Portugal that everyone carries photographic proof of identity at all times.

      4 Portuguese people are very proud of their culture, which is different from that of Spain!

      5 To hire a car you often have to be at least 21, depending on the car hire company and on the vehicle. Often your driving licence must have been issued at least one year before, and if you are under 25 there may be an extra fee to pay.

      6 Portuguese people have a sweet tooth; try some of their specialities such as Toucinho do Céu (heaven’s bacon) and Barriga de Freira (nun’s belly).

      7 Most shopping centres are open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. or in some cases until midnight.

      8 There are more than one thousand recipes to cook cod; one of the most famous is Bacalhau à Brás.

      9 In restaurants, you have to ask for the bill; it’s considered impolite of the waiter to bring the bill if you haven’t asked for it.

      10 Bars and restaurants tend to close on Sundays, except in busy areas such as Lisbon and the Algarve.

Talking to people

Hello/goodbye, yes/no

      You will find that Portuguese people are quite formal and will appreciate it if you take the same approach to them as they take towards you.
