Where to visit in Portugal
Our travel experts have collated their top recommendations of where to visit in Portugal.
Lisbon
Portugal’s capital and largest city stretches along the banks of the Tagus River near the Atlantic, perched across seven hills. Elegant St. George’s Castle stands out on the skyline, while charming alleyways wind between colorful historic buildings. Lisbon is renowned for its gorgeous Cascais beaches, nearly always sunny weather and it’s relative affordability as compared to other European capitals. Shopping enthusiasts can search for all sorts of cheaply priced treasures at the historic Feira da Ladra flea market, and there are plenty of tasty cheap eats to enjoy with the local wine.
Porto
Porto is world famous for its fine port wine, a city spread across hills that overlook the Douro River. At its heart is the atmospheric pedestrian zone called Ribeira that follows the river, lined with street vendors, cafes, and restaurants. The historic center was made for wandering with meandering cobblestone streets, while public buildings and churches are true works of art like the Church of Sao Francisco with a niche that contains the figure of the saint on its main façade and a magnificent Gothic-style rose window. Another must-visit is the 12th-century fortress-cathedral, one of the most important local Romanesque monuments.
Madeira
Maderia is an island in the North Atlantic that belongs to Portugal, located about 250 miles north of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Known as the “Floating Garden of the Atlantic,” it’s a lush oasis with green landscapes and colorful gardens while enjoying a mild climate. It produces some fabulous wines and in its capital and largest city, Funchal, you’ll find historic fortresses, churches, mouthwatering restaurants and the lovely tree-lined Lido Promenade. Ideal for outdoor adventurers, kayaking is popular here with the opportunity to paddle to sea caves and enchanting secluded bays that can only be reached by watercraft.
Evora
Evora is a small town that packs a punch, with a history that dates back more than 2,000 years, much of which can be seen in its well-preserved Old Town. Here you’ll find over 4,000 centuries-old structures, including Roman temples and walls, and one of the country’s most important Gothic buildings, the 13th-century Cathedral of Evora. One of the most well-known monuments in this ancient city is the Chapel of Bones, Capela dos Ossos, named for its walls that are covered with human bones and skulls, serving as the final resting place for hundreds of bodies exhumed from the city graves.
