Before you go

Mobile data (eSIM)

If you get sick or lose something in Portugal, maps, translation and calling for help all need data. Install an eSIM before you fly and it works as soon as you land.

See Airalo eSIM plans

Airport transfers and transport

Taxis and directions are the hardest part when you can't speak the language in Portugal. Booking an airport pickup or transport pass in advance means less to explain on arrival.

Travel medical insurance

A hospital visit in Portugal can cost a lot without insurance. Travel insurance can cover treatment, and most insurers ask for the medical certificate, itemized receipt and police report these cards help you request.
