Castles, port wine, colorful buildings, fresh seafood, coastal towns, pastel de nata heaven, and christiano ronaldo
Are you looking for a destination with beautiful architecture, rich culture, unreal food (and wine), and a coastline that could give other European countries a run for their money? Spain who? Welcome to Portugal.
A Splash of Color
Portuguese architecture is famous for its bold colors, bright red roofs, and handpainted artisan tiles called azulejos. While an earthquake in 1755 damaged most of Lisbon, Portugal as a whole escaped much of the WWII bombings, therefore preserving its architecture styles from all different periods of history. You can’t turn a corner without finding an Insta ready backdrop.
Flying Coast to Coast
We’re here to put Portugal on the map for INSANE coastal locations. With 1,700 kilometers of coastline, this country isn’t playing around. From the stunning Algarve in the south to the islands of the Azores, get ready for high jagged cliffs and bright blue water. We think a little trip to a Portuguese seaside town is calling your name.
Wine Not?
Need something to wash down that pastel de nata with? Good thing you’re in the land of wine. Head up to the famous (and breathtaking) Douro Valley in the north for port straight from the source and a glass of refreshing vinho verde, which translates to “green wine.” No, it’s not actually green, but it sounds cool nonetheless. Hop on on the vinho verde train early because this one’s going to blow up.
Fit for a King
Portugal is home to over 150 castles, many of which are still accessible today as museums. Or if you’re really trying to live like a 12th century royal, you can stay in castles that have been converted to hotels. One of the most famous castles in Portugal to gawk at is the Palacio Nacional da Pena in Sintra, and we’re pretty sure you can tell why by the pic. This stop is a must-do on any Portugal itinerary.
