Your Stay

Hotel roomYes — Only in a lawfully designated smoking room, with hotel permission.

Tourist accommodation may designate smoking rooms, units or floors up to 40% of the total, with separation, signage and ventilation preventing smoke spread. Confirm that your exact room is designated and permitted; this does not establish availability at a particular hotel.

Restaurant terraceYes — Genuinely open-air terrace where the venue permits smoking.

The law expressly allows open-air hospitality areas. Enclosed terraces fall under indoor restrictions, and management can prohibit smoking. Confirm permission at the particular terrace; a separate smoking room does not permit smoking throughout the restaurant.

Applies in: Portugal

Lei n.º 37/2007, de 14 de agostoLegislation

Smokers’ clubLegally unclear

Membership alone creates no exemption for a covered recreation, hospitality or workplace premises. Compliant adult smoking-room exceptions do not establish a club’s legal classification, licence or visitor access. The checked sources do not reliably settle an unspecified genuinely private club’s exact scope; a club label is not permission.

Smoking establishmentNo

The ordinary indoor bar or restaurant service area is smoke-free. A separate compliant smoking room has no bar or restaurant service and does not make the venue an unrestricted smoking pub.

Outdoors

On the streetYes — Ordinary open street space outside protected places and any signed or site-specific ban

The checked national law does not ban every ordinary open street. Protected places, including children’s playgrounds, and applicable premises or manager restrictions still apply. A street location does not make an enclosed workplace, transport facility or protected children’s area exempt. Follow the exact site’s signs.
