Start your journey in Lisbon, Portugal's vibrant capital. Not only is Lisbon incredibly walkable, but the city also offers budget-friendly transport options like electric trams and metro passes. At night, explore free attractions such as the viewpoints (known as "miradouros") where you can sip on budget-friendly vinho verde while enjoying breathtaking views. Consider dining at "tascas"–small, family-run eateries that serve authentic Portuguese dishes at reasonable prices.

From Lisbon, make your way to Nazaré, a picturesque coastal town that’s best known for its epic waves, colorful fishing boats, and charming Old World charm. Nazaré offers excellent opportunities for affordable adventure, like catching the sunset over Praia do Norte or exploring the historic lighthouse with its exhibit showcasing record-breaking surf moments. Staying in local accommodations within walking distance of Nazaré's landmarks is a frugal traveler’s dream—and right at your fingertips.

To save even more, shop for fresh produce at local markets and cook your meals at your home base. A kitchen is a great asset, and with simple groceries like Portuguese chouriço, fresh seafood, and local wine, you’re all set for a culinary adventure without high restaurant prices. Many accommodations in Portugal, especially in places like Nazaré, offer fully equipped kitchens for self-catering travelers, making long-term stays even more budget-friendly.

When it comes to activities, Portugal spoils travelers with free or low-cost options. In addition to beaches and hiking trails, the town of Nazaré regularly hosts cultural festivals and events where you can immerse yourself in local traditions. Venture just minutes from the beach to Sitio for stunning cliffside views, which cost you nothing but a little climb—or take the funicular for just a few euros.

If you're a wave-chaser, Nazaré is paradise. Visiting outside the peak tourist season (like late spring or early fall) means fewer crowds, better prices, and great conditions for surfing. Even if surfing isn’t your thing, the magnetic pull of Nazaré's waves, combined with its laid-back coastal lifestyle, makes this area an ideal destination for expats, retirees, and digital nomads alike.
