Portugal ZIP Code – Things you need to know

Portal ZIP codes are a little confusing, but not as confusing as India or similar countries’ ZIP codes. Here is everything you need to know about the country as well as how the ZIP Code works:

Introduction to Portugal:

Portugal is one of the many countries that shape up modern Europe. It is located near the southern border of the continent: on the Iberian Peninsula. The location of the country is so convenient that it almost lies next to the Atlantic Ocean. Here are some facts that you might need to know:

• The Portuguese culture is heavily identified with the Atlantic Ocean and most of its cuisines include fishes that are unique to this mass of water.
• Most of the country’s architecture is as old as the 16th century but is not newer than 200 years. The country has not improved its architecture since it was a powerful empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.

Provinces in Portugal – How are they divided?

The provinces in Portugal have already been divided a few centuries ago but have met some alterations. The current version of provinces in Portugal is different from the version that was used in the distant past – but it is still a good reminiscent of the 19th and 20th-century versions. Some of the provinces that are in Portugal right now include Alentejo, Beira, Minho, Ribatejo, Trás-os-Montes, Estremadura, Algarve and Douro Litoral.

Portugal ZIP Codes:

Here is a brief overview of exactly how the Portugal ZIP codes are divided: The Portuguese postal code follows a very unique combination of 4 digits that are then separated from the next 3 digits with the help of a hyphen. The rest of the ZIP code is the location where it is to be posted, in capitals. The last part of the ZIP code should be no more than 25 characters in length. An example of Portugal ZIP code is 1000-260 Lisboa – which directly translates to a postal location of Avenida Marconi 4C.
