Whether you want to spend the whole day trudging along mountains and hillsides of the interior Portugal or stroll along the white sand beaches of exterior Portugal, you surely will enjoy this Iberian paradise.

Lisbon. Of course, as the capital city of Portugal, you can't forego the opportunity to visit important landmarks, museums, castles, and cathedrals in Lisbon. You could visit the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos as it is one of the most magnificent monasteries in the country. Engraved with sea monsters, maritime symbols, and ornamented with stone shelves, this monastery served as the place of worship for seafarers before their maritime adventure. Castelo de Sao Jorge, with its historical significance, is yet another essential halt in Lisbon. This castle served as kings' domicile for over 300 years. Portugal was known for its sea expeditions and explorations thus the Maritime Museum hold a significant place in every Portuguese. It exhibits over 1,500 archives of plans and drawings of ships and 17,000 maritime items.

The Algarve. Probably one of the most sought after places in Portugal, Algarve offers a wide range of holiday resorts and beaches with immense amount of sunlight all year round. White sand beaches are exquisite, with crystal clear waters, exciting water sports for everyone to enjoy, and the architecture is breathtaking.

Lagos. Also one of the most popular resorts in Portugal, Lagos has a long strip of white sand beaches with more popular ones including Meia Praia or you can opt to isolate yourself to one of the secluded beach areas of Praia do Pinhao. There is more to Lagos than water and sun as there are added facilities you may be able to rent to enjoy the whole strip of beaches like bicycles, horses, mopeds, or boats to island hop. The resort also has a number of small shops, which sells eccentric artworks, local handicrafts as well as the usual holiday souvenirs

The narrow streets deigned from stones and bricks feature superb roman and modern architecture. Restaurants are also lined up to soothe your grumbling stomach and aching taste buds.
