Portugal has one of the world’s best infrastructures and an 82,900 km long, well-developed road network. Since the country is also quite compact, it is easy to get anywhere.

A toll has to be paid on the motorways and on some bridges. This is done either in electronic form via an on-board unit or in cash or by credit card at the toll booths.
