Ask Itchy about neighborhoods, trains, or where to eat in Porto — and the answer writes straight into your itinerary. No booking fees, no subscription. Globe Skimmer is $19.99, once.
Start planning your tripItchy is grounded in your actual trip — dates, budget, and itinerary — plus general local knowledge like this, so you're not starting from a blank search bar.
Portugal is in the Schengen Area — many passport holders (including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia) can enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Rules vary by nationality and change over time — always confirm current requirements for your passport before booking.
Euro (€). Cards and contactless are widely accepted in cities, but small cafés and local markets, especially outside Lisbon and Porto, often prefer cash.
Not obligatory. Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% for good service is appreciated but never expected the way it is in the US.
Regional trains connect Lisbon and Porto in about 3 hours. Both cities have compact metro systems; a car is genuinely useful for the Algarve coast and Douro Valley.
A few common bases for a first trip to Portugal — ask Itchy to build any of these into a full itinerary.
Ask for a day like this, and it's the kind of thing that lands in your itinerary — not just a list of ideas in a chat window.
Search, ask, and plan — all in one place, for a one-time $19.99. No subscription, no ads, no booking commission.
