Hiking paradise

Portugal, located at the southwestern tip of Europe, is ideal for all outdoor activities because of its stunning beaches, towering cliffs, and year-round sunshine. As is the case with hiking. Portugal has a variety of hiking trails, from short day hikes to longer journeys, all around the country. The breathtaking magnificence of Portuguese nature is what unites them all.

With three international airports in Lisbon, Porto, and Faro in the Algarve, Portugal is accessible from any location in the world. The same Portuguese cities are easily accessible by bus and train from the rest of Europe. So there are no issues at all when going through Europe by land. It could be most convenient to go by automobile once in Portugal. Particularly given that many of Portugal's hiking paths are inaccessible by public transportation and might be difficult to find.

Portugal is blessed with sunny days and mild winters, making it a great place to go hiking almost all year long. If you decide to go on a summer trek, keep in mind that it can get very hot during the months of June through August, especially in the south, so be sure to pack lots of water, a hat, and sunscreen. The finest walks to take in the summer are those that pass by beaches so you can occasionally stop for a swim. Otherwise, Portugal is a great place to go hiking the rest of the year.
