Portugal has quickly become a top destination for tourists.
And it's not just over the summer - travelers are making their way to Portugal during its off-season in larger numbers than ever before. According to American Express Travel, planned trips to Portugal are up 86% for January through March 2018, compared with the same period this year.
Colder temperatures are a trade-off for shorter lines and lower prices for accommodations during the off-season.
