If there's one ideal season to travel to Portugal, it's spring! The climate is mild and dry, allowing you to make the most of your trip. May, June and September are the most recommended months to visit. 

Of course, summer remains a pleasant season, but it can sometimes be very hot and availability is reduced due to school vacations. If you choose this season, plan to book your trip at least six months in advance to ensure availability.

The climate in Portugal is generally temperate, Mediterranean in style, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures that never drop below freezing. That being said, be mindful of the humidity. The Atlantic Ocean brings a lot of humidity to the coast. In summer, opt for north-west Portugal, and in winter for south-east Portugal.

Travelling outside the school vacations is pleasant as there are far fewer travellers and rental prices are more competitive.

The best time to book your road trip in Portugal  is at least 6 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if you plan to travel in July or August.

Indeed, if you book your trip at the last minute, you risk limited availability, not to mention that you can expect the most beautiful places to be full.

Finally, the earlier you book, the more money you will save. There is no good reason to wait before booking your trip.
