Best Tips for Visiting Portugal in June

  1. If you are budget conscious, June is your last window to avail some discounts on flights and accommodations before the season takes off in full swing. We suggest you make the most of this period and maximise your savings. However, tourists should book in advance when it comes to destinations where festivals may be celebrated on a large scale. 
  2. As already mentioned above, June has lesser crowds when it comes to tourists. This is partly because the rest of Europe isn’t out on a vacation ( as it would be in the month of August ).
