Portugal Travel Guide | Lonely Planet

"Portugal isn't just about the beaches. There's a blossoming arts scene, unforgettable trails through mountains and the coast and, above all, friendly folks who will gladly share a table with you."

Lonely Planet writer Joana Taborda (@cityodes) describes why she loves Portugal. "Portugal lives for the simple pleasures. It doesn't take much to find happiness here: a glass of wine at the end of a work day, a summer barbecue with friends or the eternal pursuit of sunset - the perks of living on the west coast."

Spend an evening in one of Lisbon's many fado houses, discover stunning architecture in Porto and soak up the sun in the Algarve.

Covers Lisbon, the Algarve, the Altentejo, Estremadura, Ribatejo, the Beiras, Porto, the Douro, Tras-Os-Montes, the Minho and more!

Writers: Joana Taborda, Bruno and Maria Sena, Daniel James Clarke, Sandra Henriques, Marlene Marques.
