What kind of weather should I expect in Portugal in September?
September in Portugal is warm, sunny, and pleasant, making it an ideal time to visit. In Porto, temperatures range from 60-75°F (16-24°C), with comfortable days and cooler evenings. Lisbon is slightly warmer, with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Expect mostly dry weather with lots of sunshine, though an occasional light rain shower is possible.

You can also join a virtual meetup to connect with fellow travelers and get your questions answered. Just pack your sense of adventure—we’ll handle the rest!

Is this trip only for plant-based travelers? 
Not at all! If you love delicious, fresh, local food, you’ll love this experience—whether or not you’re fully plant-based.

I’ve never been out of the country and feel unsure about what to do. 
No worries! Traveling internationally is much easier than you think. Bright Path Travel will guide you through every step of the process, from obtaining your passport to booking your flights. You’ll have support at every stage of your journey.

I don’t know about traveling with people I don’t know.
We get it! Traveling with new people can feel uncertain, but many of our travelers come solo and leave with new friendships. Our trips are designed to be welcoming, flexible, and stress-free, so you’ll have time to connect or enjoy solo moments. Join a virtual meetup to get to know us before you go!

Do I have to participate in all of the activities?
To truly enjoy the full experience, we recommend sticking with the group’s itinerary. Every activity has been carefully chosen to give you an immersive and enriching experience. If you decide to opt out of an activity, please note that refunds or credits are not available for missed group activities. 

Will I need a passport?
Yes! A valid passport is required. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your return date. If you need to renew or apply for one, we recommend doing so as soon as possible.

How active is this trip?
This trip involves moderate walking, including exploring cultural sites and city tours for many hours. Comfortable shoes are a must! If you have concerns about the activity level, please reach out to discuss whether this trip is a good fit for you.

Is travel insurance required?
While not required, travel insurance is highly recommended to protect your investment in case of unforeseen circumstances. Bright Path Travel can assist you in purchasing the right coverage for your trip.

Will I need to learn the local language?
Not at all! While knowing a few phrases can enhance your experience, your guides will help bridge any language gaps. Plus, many locals in tourist areas speak English.
