Mini guide to Portugal

Portugal has a long maritime history and boasts one of the best coastlines in Europe along its breathtaking Algarve coast.

The capital Lisbon is an intriguing mix of cobbled streets, open and airy piazzas and hilly suburbs sitting on the river Tejo. Its oldest districts are the Baixa and Alfama, where one can see the city's most rewarding sights: from bustling markets and craft stalls set among colourful buildings and brooding castles, to quiet alleys, ancient cobbled streets and placid plazas.

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the principal remnant of Manueline architecture is one of the only buildings to survive the great earthquake of 1755. Nearby is the Torre de Belém, standing on the river and probably the most photographed monument in Portugal.

Lisbon has many museums, primarily the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, and Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, with exhibits of paintings, sculptures, carpets, coins and ceramics from around the world.

Portugal Attractions

Algarve - Portugal's southernmost province, Algarve, offers some of the finest beaches and recreational facilities in Europe. The white-sand beaches are clean, and the fishing, watersports and golfing are good.

isbon - Lisbon's position on seven low hills beside a river once lured traders and settlers, and it's still a stunning site. Add to that its cultural diversity, laid-back feel and architectural time warp, and you have one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe - and also one of the most economical.
