"Portugal - A good combination of Fun and History" Portugal by mikelisaanna
Portugal Travel Guide: 19,499 reviews and 54,800 photos
We spent a week in Portugal - four days in Lisbon and three days in Central Portugal (Obidos, Alcobaca, Batalha, Fatima). There were plenty of things to see, particularly if you like history, and not enough time in which to see them all. There was also plenty of good food to eat and good wine, beer, and port to drink. Most important of all, the people were friendly.
Our tips from Portugal are mostly contained in our pages about the specific places we visited in Portugal. We have pages for Lisbon (which includes things in Belem, a suburb), Sintra, Obidos, Alcobaca, Batalha, and Fatima. Things that don't fit into individual town/city pages are included in our Portugal pages.
- Pros:Lots of history; good food and drinks; friendly people
