This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to the Contact Details. The overall level of the advice has not changed.
There is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


Around 2,254,300 British tourists visit Portugal (Source: Portuguese National Statistical Office ( http:/ Portal do Instituto Nacional de EstatÃ*censored*stica / )). Most visits are trouble-free. The main types of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Portugal in 2007 were: dealing with hospitalisations, (100 cases); deaths, mainly from natural causes (over 160 cases); and replacing lost or stolen passports (over 600 cases). You should be alert to the risk of petty theft. See the Crime section of this advice for more details.


There is a legal requirement for you to show some form of identification (i.e., your passport) if requested by the police or judicial authorities, especially if you intend to drive in Portugal. See the General section of this advice for more details.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and Travel Insurance for more details.
