Expert Etiquette

Tipping • Restaurants

"Leave a 5% to 10% tip if the service was exceptional. Rounding up is the most common practice."

General • Dress Code

"Dress "Smart Casual" for dinner. Portuguese people value looking "neat" (asseado)."

Shopping • Opening Hours

"Note that small shops often close for lunch (1:00 PM to 3:00 PM)."
