Porto’s azulejo tiles and the Algarve’s cliffs are just the start — Portugal rewards the traveler who lingers past the obvious.

Porto lines the Douro River with port wine cellars, tiled facades, and a food scene that locals insist is better than Lisbon’s. They might be right.

Lisbon spreads across seven hills with tram 28 rattling through neighborhoods where fado music drifts from doorways and pastéis de nata cost under €2.

Ponta da Piedade’s 65-foot limestone arches rising from turquoise Atlantic water are the kind of thing you photograph 200 times and still can’t capture.

Uncover the Ponte Vasco da Gama, Europe’s 2nd longest bridge in Lisbon, Portugal. Spanning 17 km over the Tagus River, this engineering marvel offers breathtaking views and connects the city to the Algarve via the A2 motorway.
