No, the legal age for children to be home alone is 13.

Certainly I would say YES, for parents leaving their kids alone under 4 years old in the house, but mostly in the car.
For common sense, kids under 4 years old could hardly think or act independently at home. I am a parent and I wouldn't leave my own kid at 4 y/o at home just to eat outside for my own sake or on a shopping spree knowing fully well that my own kid is sleeping or just playing inside the house. That would be stupid on my part, what if something bad happen, a fire sudden broke out in the neighborhood and I am 1 hour away from my own home. Will I get there in time to save my own kid? Why leave the kids, if you are gonna eat outside bring the whole bunch with you, haven't seen a father carrying 3-4 kids at one time. That is called lot's of loving...dad.

No.
Why? Planning to go to Portugal and leave your child in the hotel room while you go out to dinner? I wouldn't suggest it...

Not only is it illegal; it just isn't smart. I hope this was a rhetorical question and that you are not actually planning such folly.

I doubt it is legal, and it is definitely not wise.
