Today's highlights
A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.
The southern coast of Portugal, with golden cliffs, sea caves and the Ria Formosa lagoon, between Lagos, Albufeira, Faro and Tavira.
The Portuguese capital on the banks of the Tejo: hills with yellow trams, the Manueline monuments of Belém, the Castelo de São Jorge and Alfama's fado houses.
Slopes of terraced vineyards on the Rio Douro, birthplace of the vinho do Porto, with Peso da Régua, Pinhão and Lamego, about two hours from Porto.
The second city of Portugal, with colorful houses descending to the Douro, the Ribeira, the Ponte Luís I, the tiles of São Bento and the port wine cellars in Gaia.
The Sintra hills, with romantic palaces and gardens in the mist, and the coast of Cascais, a former fishing village turned seaside resort, less than an hour from Lisboa.
