- In Portugal it is generally safe to drink tap water in urban and touristic areas.
- They use the euro as their currency.
- Driving is on the right.
- The level of English is good in Portugal, especially in areas with tourists.
- During springtime, the temperature is between 15 and 20 Celsius degrees during the day, but it goes down by the evening. This means that I should pack both light - but also covering - and warmer clothes.
- As an EU citizen I don't need a visa or residence permit.
- In general Portugal is a safe country but it is recommended to stay alert in case of pickpockets.
- The closest hospital to me will be Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Algarve - Hospital de Portimão
- The embassy of Finland will be in Lisbon
- Around 81 percent of Portugal’s population are Roman Catholics - this affects some public holidays during my stay there, such as Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Other non-religious events will be Freedom Day and Labour Day.
Hopefully these will be helpful for others too!
