Discover the Beauty of Portugal

If you’ve never considered Portugal when deciding on your next vacation spot, it’s definitely a destination to look into. This affordable European getaway is perfect for all types of travelers. Not sure what it has to offer? Get to know two of the most popular cities below. 

Lisbon isn’t only the capital of Portugal, it’s also the second oldest capital city in Europe after Athens. This alone lets you know that Lisbon is full of history, incredible architecture, and plenty of things to see and do. To catch a glimpse of this incredible city, head over to the Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara. You can also catch a ride on the 28 tram, a historic tram that will take you through all the best districts in Lisbon. Once night falls, head over to Bairro Alto for great drinks, some shopping, and the best nightlife in the city. If you’re looking for a beach escape, Cascais, a popular beach town is only about 30 minutes away. 

For even more extravagant architecture, history, and lookout points, take a trip north to Porto. Situated on the Duoro River, the beauty of Porto lies in its details. Its narrow winding streets, mosaic tile floors, and the sound of Duoro splashing on the coast will make you fall in love with Porto. Since this is one of the biggest wine regions in the world, you can be sure there will be plenty of good wine to taste. For delicious treats, book a food tour that includes everything from Portuguese style coffee to fresh seafood. Do some shopping on Santa Catarina street and visit the Cafe Majestic where it is said JK Rowling wrote some of her first drafts of the Harry Potter series. You certainly won’t be able to miss the colorful azulejos or hand-painted tiles throughout the city, but do make time to really appreciate this beautiful art.
