BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN PORTUGAL

  • Lisbon: The capital city of Portugal, Lisbon offers a lot to explore. Walk the narrow, steep streets of the Alfama district and spend an evening in a bar featuring fado music. Then drive to Belém where you will see the famous Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery. For great views over Lisbon, walk up to the São Jorge Castle. And don’t forget to try an egg custard tart while in Lisbon! 
  • Porto: Located on the northern coast of Portugal, Porto is a destination for port wine and Medieval architecture. The Ribeira district is known for its buildings dating to medieval times, and its bars. For a bit of culture, head to the Bolsa Palace or the Porto Cathedral. 
  • Faro District: This region on the southern coast of Portugal is known for its beaches. There are several to choose from, whether you want a long stretch of beach like Praia da Rocha or one surrounded by cliffs like Praia da Marinha. Albufeira and Lagos are two of the most popular cities in this region for a beach vacation. Hiking and water sports are popular activities here, and on the far western side of this region, you can even surf! 

WINTER 2020 IN PORTUGAL

Visit this intriguing country in winter to avoid the crowds and the heat. During this time of year you can get some much needed sun along the Atlantic coastline. In the southern part of the country, like the Algarve region, the temperatures can be in the 60s in the winter although in the north, in Porto for instance, it is much colder. Lisbon has activities and museums year round, although the weather can be unpredictable. You can visit the Jerónimos Monastery or the famed Alfama district. Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range in Portugal and you can find ski slopes here. Your choice of rental vehicle depends on where you are going. A tour of the interior of Portugal will be fine in a sedan, but if you are planning a longer trip, an SUV will be more comfortable.
