Portuguese carrier shops (MEO, NOS, Vodafone) require passport registration for prepaid SIMs. Free WiFi in Lisbon and Porto is common in cafes but speeds vary. An eSIM gives you reliable connectivity from arrival at Lisbon or Porto airport.
MEO (formerly Portugal Telecom) has the widest coverage, including the Algarve, Madeira, and the Azores. NOS is strong in Lisbon and Porto metropolitan areas. Coverage in the mountainous interior (Serra da Estrela, Alentejo) can be patchy, especially away from main roads.
Bolt is the most popular ride-hailing app in Lisbon and Porto. Google Maps handles tram routes and narrow Alfama streets well. Download offline maps for the Azores — coverage between towns is limited. Budget 1 GB per day for comfortable use.
Portugal is a popular digital nomad destination — co-working spaces and cafes with strong WiFi are abundant in Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve. Mobile coverage on Madeira's north coast and in the Azores' rural areas is weaker than the mainland.
