Frequently asked questions
About Lamego
Lamego is a charming city located in the northern region of Portugal, known for its stunning landscapes and historical sites. The currency used in Lamego is the Euro. The city is famous for its Baroque architecture, particularly the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, a beautiful church with a grand staircase. Lamego is also surrounded by vineyards, producing the renowned local wine, Vinho Verde. Visitors can explore the city's narrow streets lined with traditional Portuguese houses and enjoy the picturesque views of the Douro River.
When to visit
The best time to visit Lamego is during the spring and fall months, from April to June and September to October, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be quite hot, with temperatures reaching up to 30°C, making it less ideal for outdoor activities. Winter, from December to February, can be cold and rainy, so it is not the most popular time to visit.
Getting around
Lamego is a relatively small city that can be easily explored on foot. The city center is compact, with most attractions within walking distance of each other. For longer distances, there are local buses available for transportation. Taxis are also a convenient option for getting around the city and its surrounding areas. Renting a car is recommended for exploring the nearby Douro Valley and its vineyards.
Traveller tips
When visiting Lamego, don't miss climbing the 686 steps of the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios for panoramic views of the city. Try the local specialty, 'Bola de Lamego,' a delicious meat-filled bread. Be prepared for hilly terrain and wear comfortable shoes for exploring the city. Learn a few basic Portuguese phrases to communicate with locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Always carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated while sightseeing. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites.
