While visiting this vast and beautiful country, Lisbon is a must-see city
that needs to be on your list of things to do. It is the largest city in
Portugal, and it is also the capital. You can stroll down the authentic streets
of Lisbon and witness the same lifestyle that has been lived for centuries.
Lisbon is not jazzed up for tourists or touring buses. You will still see
laundry hanging on lines and drying above the streets. You will see stone
staircases that lead up to beautiful terraces. Finally, you will see absolutely
amazing views of the blue Taugus River. Tons of cafes line the sidewalks,
children feel safe to play in the roads and life is as authentic as it can get.
Visit Lisbon for a rich taste of culture and tradition.
For the beautiful beaches of Portugal, head over to the Algarve coast for the
most beautiful stretches of beach that you have ever seen. You can relax all day
long underneath the sun or you can be more adventures and try out for some water
sports. Whether you prefer wave racing, para-sailing or sailing; you can try it
all on the beautiful Algarve coast. A true tourist favorite, the beaches are
very nicely developed and they are very spacious.

with the overall beautiful sights and feelings that this ancient land has to

lifestyles. It is also considered one of the worlds most peaceful and globalized
countries. Its a member of the European Union since 1986 and the United

Portugal is known for their gourmet cheese and their excellent varieties of
Portuguese and Port wine. Certainly if you are lactose intolerant, eating in
Portugal may not be that pleasant of an experience for you. But for everyone
else, each meal starts off with a soft, pungent cheese and it is placed in one
large dish for everyone to share. The cheese comes from cows, goats and
sheep.
Find the complementing wine for your cheese and your meals at virtually any
corner store. Wine is a culture favorite, drinking at almost any time of the
day, so you can imagine that there is no short supply. Never be shy to ask your
waiter to recommend the best wine to pair with your meals. Remember to plan
ahead before you arrive in Portugal, so you know where the right public
transportation is and you know exactly what you want to visit and when you want
to visit it.
