Generally, a mid-range tourist should expect to spend €120 per day while in Lisbon. This amount does not include accommodation (around €70 - €150 per room per night), flights, or highly expensive, gimmicky tours. Lisbon takes three days to explore fully, and the suggested spending money...
Transportation costs in The Algarve Unlike Lisbon and Porto, you really do need a car in the Algarve. You can get around by train, and there is a bus network, but it will definitely limit your ability to see a lot of places easily. ...
