Rates by municipality

As of 2026-11-06, about 50 of Portugal's 308 municipalities charge a tourist tax. These are the ones visitors stay in most. Source: Postal / Lusa (June 2025) and Hostkit (Oct 2026) · checked 6 Nov 2026

No tax, as far as we can tell: Lagos (Guides that list €2 are confusing it with Lagoa), Tavira, Silves, Porto Moniz (The only Madeira municipality not charging). Rate unclear: Cascais. Cascais has charged since 2017, but published rates conflict (€1 to €4). Ask your accommodation. Also reported as charging, not yet verified by us: Nazaré, Peniche, Viana do Castelo, Póvoa de Varzim, Figueira da Foz, Maia, Loures, Almada, Sesimbra and Tomar.
