Portugal's public holidays include New Year's Day, Labour Day, Portugal Day, Restoration of Independence, Christmas Day, plus movable dates like Easter / Good Friday.
Banks, government offices, and many local shops commonly close on public holidays in Portugal — worth planning cash withdrawals and paperwork around them.
Some do — Easter / Good Friday shift every year based on the lunar or Easter-based calendar, so always confirm the exact date for your travel year.
Not necessarily — some travelers enjoy the festive atmosphere, but expect closures at some businesses and potentially packed transport or fully booked restaurants as locals travel too.
