Portugal uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards for most transactions, especially in cities and larger establishments, while carrying some cash is advisable for small vendors, markets, or remote areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Lisbon, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like trams, metro stations, and popular tourist spots such as Alfama and Baixa. Common scams include unofficial taxi drivers overcharging or taking longer routes and street vendors selling counterfeit goods. It's advisable to use authorized transportation and keep valuables secure to ensure a safe visit.
