Before you travel
A few checks before Lisbon
Entry, health and insurance needs depend on your passport, route, personal circumstances and planned activities. Check the authorities for your own trip.

Health & medication
Check individual needs
Review routine vaccinations, medication supply, and destination-specific health guidance with a clinician. Winter footing and cold exposure or sea conditions may also affect your plans.
Travel advice & cover
Check before departure
Read current government travel advice and make sure cover matches your activities, transit and medical needs. For seasonal activities, check the operator and local conditions shortly before travel.
