The number of domestic tourists in all Portuguese regions decreased significantly in 2020 over the previous year, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2020, the Northern region of Portugal was the most visited destination by domestic tourists, with approximately 1.7 million visitors. Lisbon and the surrounding area attracted around 1.12 million domestic visitors that year. In 2020, Lisbon was the most popular destination for international tourists, although the number of inbound travelers dropped significantly due to the global health crisis.
