What people love about Portugal Tours in May
- Best of Lisbon and The Azores: City and Nature Wonders
Our tour is in two weeks but I had to go ahead and leave a review! Tour Radar and Portugal Travel Center have been nothing short of first class and we haven’t even taken the trip yet!!! From extending our itinerary, to changing flights, booking extra train tickets and hotels, etc, they have been so accommodating and helpful! I know I haven’t been the easiest to deal with with all the changes I’ve requested thus far and they have been so professional and on top of every change that’s been made. I am already so impressed with their correspondence and aide in making this trip one that my mom and I will never forget!!! Five stars all the way!!! They are the best!!!
- Walking in Madeira
The tour was good. My partner participated in the entire walking part of the tour.(I twisted my ankle but still enjoyed the tour). Pro: places we went, restaurants, day in Funchal. Con: hotels - nicer hotels would add to the trip. The last hotel was under renovations and we ended up in an old room while the rest of our tour group managed to get the updated rooms. Tour radar compensated us for this as the noise level near our room was unbelievable at times. We ended up in a nice room on our last night. Which was great. The first two hotels were ok.
- Cycle Portugal - Lisbon to Algarve
Portugal was amazing and beyond my expectations. This trip was one of the best cycling trips that I've taken. What made it so great was not only the stunning coastal scenery and beaches but also the guide, Goyo. He was always so engaged with the group and strived to make our experience special. No detail was neglected and he went above and beyond in assuring that everyone enjoyed the holiday. The meals that he arranged were fantastic. Our picnics were well-planned and not-rushed giving us plenty of time to relax and do our own thing at an interesting rest area or beach. Would love to take the Seville to Porto trip with him!
What our customers ask about Portugal Tours in May 2026
What is the weather like in Portugal during May?
Portugal's weather in May provides comfortable conditions for exploring with Lisbon temperatures reaching 22°C (72°F) while Porto stays a bit cooler at 20°C (68°F). The Douro Valley welcomes visitors with clear skies that create good conditions for wine tours. Recent TourRadar visitors reported particularly good weather at Quinta da Pacheca vineyard. Along the southern coast the Algarve sees temperatures of 24°C (75°F) which brings good beach weather to spots like Lagos and Sagres without the intensity of summer heat.
What are the best wine experiences available in Portugal during May?
The spring growing season makes May a prime time for Portuguese wine tours. Visitors can taste at established cellars like Sandeman & Co in Porto or head to family-run quintas throughout the Douro Valley. Recent visitors have highlighted tastings at Quinta da Aveleda where wines are paired with local small plates called petiscos. For those wanting to stay among the vines high-end options include the Yeatman Hotel in Porto or Quinta Nova in the Douro region. Most wine tours cover both port and vinho verde production with stops at multiple producers.
What kind of accommodation options are available in Portugal during May?
Portugal's May accommodations range from city hotels to rural estates. Lisbon's Olissippo Marquês de Sá puts visitors in the city center while Porto's Vila Galé offers rooms overlooking the Douro River. The São Miguel Park Hotel in the Azores gets good reviews for blending Portuguese hospitality with modern comforts. For more distinctive stays Hotel da Urgeiriça in central Portugal provides historic charm while the Quinta da Aveleda estate lets guests sleep among the vineyards of the Douro.
What are the best outdoor activities to do in Portugal during May?
The mild May climate creates good conditions for being outside in Portugal. Hikers head to the trails of Vicentine Coast Natural Park where recent visitors noted pleasant temperatures for coastal walks. The Azores sees some of its best whale watching with 90% success rates for spotting marine life. River cruises run through the Douro Valley while the Algarve's beaches offer good swimming conditions before the summer crowds arrive.
How crowded are tourist attractions in Portugal during May?
May offers a good balance at Portuguese attractions with shorter lines than summer but full services still running. Visitors report quick entry times at popular spots like Sintra's Pena Palace and Porto's wine caves. Even busy sites such as Lisbon's Jerónimos Monastery and the University of Coimbra see manageable crowds though advance booking remains recommended for major attractions.
What are the best day trips to take from major cities in Portugal during May?
The pleasant May weather creates good conditions for exploring beyond Portugal's cities. From Lisbon travelers can reach Sintra's palaces or the coastal town of Cascais where clear spring skies provide good views at Cabo da Roca. Porto serves as a base for Douro Valley wine tours and river trips. The northern Minho region shows off historic towns like Guimarães and Braga where spring flowers add color to medieval streets.
