Nature & Beach Destinations
01
Although Portugal has just one national park: Peneda-Gerês National Park, which is located in the north bordering with Spain, there are also 13 natural parks or nature parks spread all over the country. One of the most stunning is Arrabida Natural Park with its sandy beaches just south of Lisbon. Another breathtaking option is the spectacular UNESCO listed Sintra-Cascais Natural Park just north of the capital city. You could easily plan an elopement combining the city of Lisbon with either one of these natural parks.

When to Elope in Portugal
Generally speaking, April/May/June and September/October are the best months to elope in Portugal. Summer is beautiful too, but it can fill up with tourists coming to take in the beauty. Winter is quiet, but tends to be a little rainy.
Can we legally get married in Portugal?
Yes, you don't need to be a Portuguese resident to be able to have a civil ceremony in this beautiful Southern European country.
The steps you need to take to make things possible depend on where you are from. It's best to start planning your legal elopement at least 6 months in advance, as you'll probably need to get some of your documents translated and have certain appointments in advance of your civil wedding. Though you might be able to make things happen in 6 weeks or even less, depending on your home country. For the ceremony to be legally binding it has to be performed by a celebrant from the registry office, for certain places like beaches you'll need to apply for a license.
