CTT (Correios e
Telecomunicações) is the national
state-owned Portuguese postal service. There are over 1,000 post
offices (correios) in Portugal
with varying opening hours.
In main towns and tourist areas post offices are open on weekdays
from 08:30-18:00 and on Saturday mornings until 12:30. In some rural
areas delivery services are fairly infrequent and people often find it
more convenient to rent a post office box (apartado) and collect their mail
themselves from the nearest post office.
