Portalegre is the capital of the district of Portalegre, in the Alentejo region, sub-region of Alto Alentejo.
Although the landscape of the municipalities to the north of Portalegre is still typically Alentejo, with relatively flat areas alternating with hills in most cases relatively low, Portalegre is often described as a transition zone between the drier and flatter Alentejo, and the Beiras, more humid and mountainous. The orography is more varied than in most of the rest of the Alentejo, which contributes to the landscape having peculiar characteristics.

The city is located at an altitude between 400 and 600 meters, in the transition zone between the relatively flat landscape, but with many low hills to the south and west, and the mountainous system of Serra de São Mamede, which surrounds it north, east and southeast.
The geology is varied, which translates into the variety of soils. The unique characteristics of the landscape, flora and fauna, are the basis for the creation of the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park, which integrates a considerable part of the area of the municipality.
Portalegre’s climate is Mediterranean and temperatures fluctuate considerably between the hottest months and the coldest months. The high temperatures occur due to the fact that this city is located in Alentejo, the hottest region of Portugal in summer.

The name of Portalegre will come from Portus Alacer (portus, crossing point, and alacer, cheerful), or more simply Cheerful Point.
