eSIM Travel Tips for Portugal

Lisbon is a top European OE base for NZ travellers
Lisbon's affordability compared to western Europe, great weather, and surf access from Cascais and Ericeira make it a favourite NZ OE city. Strong 5G and 4G throughout Alfama, Belém, and Bairro Alto. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before your long-haul flight.
Nazaré and the surf coast
Nazaré is home to the world's biggest waves and a magnet for NZ surfers on OE. Good 4G coverage throughout Nazaré town and the clifftop viewing area. Peniche and Ericeira also have solid coverage for surfing and navigation.
The Algarve for NZ sun seekers in European summer
NZ OE travellers often visit the Algarve during European summer for beach time. Lagos, Albufeira, and the Vilamoura area have good 4G and 5G. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps maps and booking apps running throughout the Algarve.

Best time to visit Portugal from New Zealand

Portugal is a year-round destination. NZ OE travellers tend to base themselves in Lisbon from spring through autumn. NZ summer (December to January) aligns with Portuguese winter which is mild in the Algarve and Madeira. Nazaré's biggest surf swells are November to March.
