Long time lurker, first time posting. Travelling with my husband, we had no issues getting through customs/security at the Lisbon airport; they didn't ask any questions about Covid or ask to view any documentation. Porto was enjoyable; lines were relatively short; I highly recommend the Francesinha sandwich after a day spent hiking up and down enumerable staircases. If you have some spare time, I recommend making it out to the ocean side of Porto, and visiting Farolim de Felgueiras.
I want to promote Evora; it doesn't seem to get a lot of love in guides but is a very nice town to visit. I especially want to highlight a tour I took with the
Ebora Megalithica company ([email protected]). If you are interested in history, especially ancient history, I highly recommend. Sira is leading the outfit; she has taken over from Mario, who was listed in the guidebook. She was very helpful in figuring out transportation from Lisbon to Evora; for anyone as lost as I was, use Rede Expressos bus line from Lisboa Sete Rios bus station. The tour was incredibly good; Sira is a font of knowledge. I learned a lot of history about the Neolithic era, as well as local botany.
