Portugal specifies time according to the 24-hour clock which can be
quite confusing for those who are accustomed to 'am' & 'pm'. See
the clock on the right for a simple conversion.
Portugal maintains Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC) as summer time.
Therefore, you need not change your watch if arriving from the UK. GMT
is normally one hour behind CET.
Clocks are put forward one hour on the last Sunday of March and back
one hour on the last Sunday of October, according to the rules of the
European Union.
Tap water is safe to drink, even in spouts and fountains. If you notice
a different taste from the water you have back home, probably it’s
because the water is a bit more calcarious. You can always buy bottled
water which is available everywhere should you so wish.
