Entry & Exit Requirements: A passport with at least three months remaining validity is required for entry into Portugal. Currency: Euro Language: Portuguese but English is widely spoken Outlets: Portugal uses type F and type C plugs. The U.S. uses type A and B. So, pack an adapter or be prepared to buy one at the airport. Since the voltage in Portugal is 230V you may also need to bring a converter if you're using something that isn't compatible with 230V.
Flight
Lisbon airport code: LIS The Lisbon airport is about 20 minutes from downtown Lisbon. We recommend taking out cash in advance if you plan to take a taxi as the wait for a taxi that accepts credit cards tends to be long. BOOK IN ADVANCE Portugal’s national airline, TAP Portugal, is a great option for your flight search especially if you want to tag on a European adventure before or after the wedding, check out TAP’s Stopover option. TAP has direct flights to Lisbon from JFK, Newark, & Logan (Boston). If you want to fly direct on a budget, TAP is your best bet.
