Visitors fly to Portugal almost throughout the year, but the bulk of them visit during the month of June; especially from mid June to September. If you want to enjoy the festivals of Carnaval and Easter in Portugal, then you need to visit between the months of February and April. It would be amazing for all of us to know that the Festas (festivals) are held throughout the year in many Portuguese villages and towns, which is why there is a constant downpour of visitors throughout the year.

The summer months are the best time to visit Portugal because in these months the temperature runs generally in the 86oF or 30oC. It is in this temperature that every single destination in Portugal will be at its best but there are cities namely Alto Douro and Alentejo where it can be too hot during the summer months. November to March has the most downpour of the year and thus becomes more or less a stay indoor time span. If you want to ski, then the best time to visit Portugal is between January and March. The guides in Portugal also mention that February is the best month for skiing.
