Por favor, segue a reddiquette e as nossas regras:. Escorts in Portugal self. Kind of an odd question. But I'm curious how plausible it is to find and use an escort service or a brothel and what the legalities are in Portugal.
And what are the running rate for a average to high level escort? I ask all this because I can only find blogs about it from or older so I'm looking for more up to date info on it. Brothels are illegal but there are places called "bares de alterne" sorry, I do not know how to write it in english that circunvent the law. For instance in my city the biggest one of those circunvents the law in a clever way: For all legal purposes their business is renting the rooms. What happens inside the rooms is not their business.
And since the act of prostitution isn't illegal they are technically operating inside the law. As for the average high end escort it will be around euro for 1 hour. The kind that charges euro is way above and beyond those, in physical and attitude. It's top model like. Whatever you do do not use the hookers that advertise on the newspapers.
They are very, very low quality. Hit me up if you're ever in the northen region of Portugal and I'll be glad to show you the best and classiest "alterne" bars: Everything I've read has said stay away from hookers and prostitutes and to stick to escort services and brothels. Brothels are illegal in Portugal. What you read is true. Street hookers are bad everywhere. In Portugal, they're usually barrel-shaped middle-aged women in their 40's and 50's.
But beware, there's still a big lack of glamour among these professionals. You'll have to search for the good ones. This should clarify you about the legalities, about the rest I can't help. If you can read portuguese, this forum has a lot of info about escorts, hookers, "disguised brothels", etc. This is what you're looking for, if you're visiting Lisbon. Although being a foreigner you'll have all the women looking at you from the moment you start speaking. There are no public brothels in Portugal since its illegal, but all strip joint workers are hookers, you talk to them and take them to your apartment and its okay, if you have no apartment its okay since they are conveniently located near cheap rooms, here are some strip joints names, "Elefante branco" "Gallery" "black tie", any cab driver will know where these are so just ask them.
