Cities in Portugal
Lisbon
Portugal
Lisbon is Europe's sunniest capital and one of its most atmospheric — yellow trams on cobbled hills, Moorish castle views, fado in candlelit taverns, and some of the best value fine dining on the continent. The city has transformed from backwater to must-visit in a decade, yet still feels authentic.
Porto
Portugal
Porto is Portugal's second city and arguably its most beautiful — a steep tangle of granite churches, azulejo-tiled buildings, and medieval alleyways tumbling down to the Douro River and its famous port wine lodges. The ribeira waterfront, the extraordinary Livraria Lello bookshop, the São Bento station's 20,000 azulejo panels, and the food scene — from francesinhas to contemporary tasting menus — have made Porto one of Europe's most beloved weekend destinations.
