covid tests accepted at hotels?

It was somewhat hard for me to find something specific in writing but here is a link.

I have been hearing that not every hotel or vacation rental is complying but I observed police checking at a restaurant on Saturday night, so there is monitoring going on. I’ve also read that a number of hotels are keeping some of the tests for guests to administer on the spot. The tests are available for purchase at farmácias and some supermarkets.

Of course, all this could change by September but the above website should keep up to date information.

We are here now and hotels are either testing upon arrival with their tests (for which we have been paying euro 2-5), you may have to get one in town at a pharmacy for about 25 euro. Either way, I wouldn't bother to bring them with you. They are probably going to want to use their own tests. Hotel tests are only good in the hotel and for them to prove to the authorities that they are following the rules. With or without the local test, expect to eat outdoors because you don't have a European certificate.

Thank you! This is very helpful information, and honestly something of a relief. We were worried about the logistics of this. . Sounds like maybe we should just check in with our hotels a little closer to when we leave and make sure that they can administer a test to us

We're planning to avoid eating inside anyway, so that won't be a problem, but are tourist sites and museums requiring the EU health certificate or a test? (I know this could all change by Sept)

PS www.schengenvisainfo.com has an article today on how much COVID tests cost these days. Italy is a bargain, Belgium not so much. Museums, cathedrals etc we have visited require temp checks, masks and liberal application of supplied hand sanitizer. Today, the monastery at Alcobaca enforced social distancing in the ticket line, but not inside. We had lunch at a small neighborhood diner; they didn't ask for anything, so there you go. Depends on where you are and who is at the door

We are here now and we just had to show our vaccination card. If you are not vaccinated they want a PCR test result.

Tremendous info here so thanks to all of you. We have plans to fly to Lisbon on 9/19 and will be taking some Binax tests with us, including the Binax Ag-Card test that United and other major carriers currently accept for re-entry. They are the same tests as the simple Binax test but have to be done virtually with a health professional within 72 hours (I believe, correct me if wrong). The Card test is actually 2 identical tests done at the same time for more confident results.

So my question is, should I expect a requirement at some point for a PCR test during my trip where Rapid tests are not acceptable? I will also have my vaccination card with me.
