What is the country code for Portugal?
Portugal answers to +351. Add it after your own exit code and you've reached any Lisbon landline or Algarve mobile. Here's what makes Portugal refreshingly simple: its 9-digit plan carries no trunk prefix at all. There's no leading 0 hiding at the front to peel off — the nine digits you read are the nine digits you dial, at home or from the other side of the world.
Kanuni +351 alipewa Ureno na ITU chini ya mpango wa E.164. The “+” ina maana "piga msimbo wako wa kuondoka wa kimataifa"; kwenye simu, bonyeza na ushikilie 0 kuichapa.
Zote nne zinamaanisha kitu kimoja - zinaunganisha simu yako Ureno.

Portugal time zone
Lisbon keeps the same clock as London, not the rest of continental Europe — mainland Portugal runs on Western European Time (WET, UTC+0) through winter and Western European Summer Time (WEST, UTC+1) through summer, shifting on EU dates (forward the last Sunday of March, back the last Sunday of October). Out in the Atlantic, the Azores sit one hour behind the mainland, while Madeira keeps mainland time.
Because Lisbon and London tick in unison, British callers can ring any time the office is open. From the US East Coast, aim for 14:00–18:00 in Lisbon (09:00–13:00 ET) to catch the back half of the Portuguese workday. Calling São Paulo's diaspora? Brazil trails Lisbon by four hours in summer, so late-afternoon Portugal lands mid-morning there.
