Looking for itinerary advice during this probable rainy and cooler weather time period. First trip to Portugal. Definitely Porto and Lisbon, possibly Coimbra and some other yet undecided smaller towns (unsure on renting a car). Would like to explore the Algarve area, but wonder if it's the best choice in early November. Thanks for your tips and insight!

I was in Lisbon for a few days a couple of Octobers back. It was maybe the third week of October.
It was still crowded but manageable. It was rainy every day. Sometimes it drizzled but other tines there were downpours. You will need rainwear. I can not recall the temperatures but I am looking at my pictures and persons were wearing sweaters and jackets but not bundled up,.
I suugest side trips to Belem and to Sintra, if possible an entire day.
I was on a cruise and we did port in Porto but I chose an excursion To Braga which is very beautiful and interesting.
Loved Braga and loved Lisbon.
