6 THINGS TO DO IF YOU VISIT
PORTUGAL
Portugal is a great choice, particularly if you like all things maritime related, as
Portugal stretches for 800 kilometers along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is graced with
Lisbon as its capital city which sits at the entrance of the majestic River Tagus.
Much of the country is a mix of rugged and scenic landscape coupled with rolling
stretches of Mediterranean landscape. As it lies along the coast you will find some beautiful
beaches here in addition to picturesque coves, quaint villages, and a thriving cultural scene in
Lisbon.
Portugal also has a range of islands on its coast for you to enjoy such as Madeira
which is known as the Garden Isle thanks to its lush vegetation, or the secluded and serene
Azores archipelago. Wherever you choose to go, Portugal is bound not to disappoint and you
will be amazed at how much you can pack in when you visit this small but exciting country.
Here are the best things to do in Portugal:
1. Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) is one of the
most popular tourist attractions in Portugal and a
highlight of Sintra, a convenient day trip from
Lisbon. Considered one of the finest expressions
of 19th-century Romanticism in Europe, it’s both
a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the
Seven Wonders of Portugal. Set atop a hill and
enveloped by green forest, Pena Palace is
instantly identifiable because of its bright red,
yellow and mauve facades, scalloped white
trimmings and pointed turrets. It might look
cartoonish in photos but seen up close in person,
it’s very lavish indeed.
