Hospitality in Portugal

Portugal's hospitality blends seafood, café culture and growing boutique tourism. Lisbon and Porto have strong restaurant scenes. Tourism has expanded rapidly.

Tipping

Tipping is optional. Leaving 5-10% in restaurants or rounding up is common.

Working there

Hospitality work is often seasonal with modest wages. EU citizens can work freely; non-EU workers need permits. Housing costs in tourist areas are a growing issue.

Rules on pay and visas change. Check official government guidance before you move.
