Portugal, located at the western edge of Europe, is a country rich in history and culture. Known for its stunning beaches on the Algarve coast and breathtaking landscapes, Portugal offers a perfect blend of age-old traditions and modernity. Its soulful music, fado, still echoes in the cobbled streets of many cities.

Among the major cities, Lisbon, the capital, stands out with the historic Alfama district and the Belém Tower. In Porto, the charm of the old port and the city's famous wine captivate every visitor. The university town of Coimbra, with its Joanine Library, is a treasure to explore. Lastly, Funchal, on Madeira Island, offers lush mountain landscapes and lively festivals.

For those seeking to discover other gems, Portugal also offers the serenity of the Azores or the ancient temples of Évora.
