Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the first short holiday of this summer—the Dragon Boat Festival—is almost here! Following the travel trends and tourism consumption growth during the Qingming Festival and the May Day holiday, enthusiasm for travel during the Dragon Boat Festival remains high. Compared to the crowded conditions at major domestic tourist destinations, the pleasant and relaxing Portugal is definitely a great choice.
The American "Huffington Post" also called Portugal the "travel destination for everyone in 2017." The peak tourist season in Portugal has now arrived. Book a flight and go to Portugal to experience the charming villages full of European flair, amazing food, wonderful music, cultural fusion, beautiful coastlines, world-class surfing spots... However, before you travel, planning your transportation, routes, and accommodation is of the utmost importance and must be done well. Below is a short travel guide I have prepared for you; be sure to check it out.
Transportation
The distance between Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and Beijing is approximately 9,674 kilometers, and it requires air travel. Currently, there are no direct flights to Portugal; you need to transfer in Paris, France, Frankfurt, Germany, or Dubai, with a total flight time of about 15-18 hours.
Previously, Beijing Capital Airlines officially announced that the first direct route between China and Portugal, "Beijing-Lisbon," will officially launch on July 26. By taking the brand-new Airbus A330-200 wide-body aircraft, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Tagus River in just 13 hours and experience this simple yet infinitely charming country.
Safety
When traveling during holidays, a relatively important point is to pay attention to personal and property safety. For outbound travel, it is recommended that you purchase insurance in advance as a safeguard. As a Schengen country, Portugal requires all visa applicants to present proof of purchased overseas travel insurance when submitting their visa application materials. The accident insurance, with a coverage amount equivalent to 30,000 euros or more and including global emergency assistance functions, should cover emergency rescue, medical expenses, and costs for repatriation for medical reasons. At the same time, it is recommended that you add insurance coverage for travel delays, changes, and personal finances on top of meeting visa application requirements to have comprehensive and multi-faceted protection.
Dining
Portuguese cuisine uses high-quality ingredients, focuses on the texture of the food, and features rich, savory flavors that are quite in line with Asian tastes. Egg tarts, seafood rice, and the Portuguese national dish, cod, are all must-try Portuguese delicacies. At the same time, you can see stylish cafes and restaurants everywhere in Portuguese cities. The prices are affordable, with a meal costing only about 30-40 euros, and having a cup of coffee after a meal to aid digestion is simply wonderful.
Accommodation
There are many accommodation options throughout Portugal, ranging from high-end to budget-friendly hotels. For travelers with limited budgets, youth hostels or private short-term rental apartments are also good value for money. The price for a standard room in a five-star hotel starts at about 300 euros per night, and a double room in a mid-range hotel is about 200 euros per night. April to October is the peak tourist season in Portugal, so if you are traveling during the Dragon Boat Festival, you need to book your hotel as early as possible.
Of course, if you have your own property in Portugal, that would be even better. Not only can you move in at any time, but even if you are not staying there, you can rent it out and take advantage of the peak tourist season to earn good rental income.
