Tourist Attractions in Portugal

Built on hills, Lisbon is a beautiful city of narrow steep winding streets and impressive old architecture. Stroll among shops and museums, and enjoy fine street side dining.

The colorful houses with quaint shops and restaurants in the Ribeira area are what many people picture when they think of Oporto. Old churches and squares add to the charm.

The seaside resort of Albufeira is set along a bay with white houses gracing the cliff sides and a long stretch of beach that can get quite busy during the summer months.

Located on Madeira's south coast, Funchal is built on slopes. Steep streets lead up the hills past white washed houses and shops for fabulous views out over the ocean.

In the mountains outside of Lisbon is the beautiful town of Sintra, complete with a palace and nearby castles. Restaurants and shops cater mainly to day trippers from Lisbon.

Lagos is a mix of old fishing village and modern resort town where traditional occupations still exist along side the tourist infrastructure that has developed here.
