The Many Pleasures of Portugal

Since you'll be traveling here, it's convenient to divide the country into three parts: north, central, and south. Northern Portugal is home to much of the country's history and the second-largest city, Porto. In this region, you can tour the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra (the country's former capital), which was the most important monastic house during the early days of the Kingdom of Portugal. The happening, modern capital of Lisbon is located in the central region of Portugal, and boasts its fair share of notable attractions. These include the highly rated Lisbon Oceanarium, historic Sao Jorge Castle (which has a gorgeous hilltop location), and Jeronimos Monastery (a UNESCO World Heritage site). To save money on your stay in the capital, look for deals on hotels in Lisbon. If you choose to head to the southern region, you'll find some of the best hotels in Portugal right next to some of the best beaches in the country—you can relax on the sands of Barreta Island, snap photos of the Cathedral of Faro, and golf at one of the many resorts.
