Well, fret no more, here is a comprehensive 10-day itinerary you can follow when you head over to the beautiful country. Catch our Destination Unknown series episode on Portugal, link at the end of the video! ------------------------------------------------------ LISBON 00:25 - Pasteis de Belem We received so many recommendations from locals themselves to visit this place. It is actually one of the oldest Portuguese egg tart shops around! 00:33 - Belem Tower Officially called the Tower of Saint Vincent, Belem Tower is a 16th-century fortification that served as a point of embarkation and disembarkation for Portuguese explorers and as a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. 00:36 - Jeronimos Monastery These two sights are truly sights to behold. Learn more about the history of Lisbon here! 00:41 - Praco do Comercio Kinda like the city hall area of Lisbon, locals and tourists alike gather here to window shop, watch buskers do their thangggg and simply just to chill. 00:47 - Santa Justa Lift This lift was built in the past to ease the number of stairs in the past, where you get to see a beautiful panoramic view of the city from the top! 00:51 - Rua Nova do Carvalho Known as the pink street of Lisbon, it used to be the area that housed the red light district of Lisbon in the past but has since been converted to a home for cosy cafes and modern pubs and bars. 00:57 - The Sanctuary of Christ the King A definite must-visit when you re in Portugal! ALGARVE REGION 01:07 - Praia da Rocha Amazing sunset views can be enjoyed from this beautiful beach. It does get pretty crowded, but there s always a space for everyone and anyone. 01:13 - Wildwatch Tour — Benagil Cave This boat tour includes a short kayaking session, one of the highlights is definitely kayaking into the Benagil Cave. It is known to be one of the most beautiful sea caves in the world! 01:30 - Pinhao Beach Soak up some sun here, and navigate through cliff formations to get to different areas of the beach! Be careful of the tide level though. CASCAIS & SINTRA 01:36 - Shoreline path of Cascais, Guincho Beach The views you get of the shoreline are simply breathtaking. 01:44 - Pena Palace Perched atop one of the highest points in the quaint city of Sintra, this palace was built and painted so colourfully so that it could grab everyone s attention no matter where you stood in Sintra. 01:50 - Moorish Castle Built during the medieval times, the Moorish Castle served as a watchtower in the past. 01:55 - Quinta de Regalaria It took us pretty long to find this place because it was nestled deep in the parks. But it was well worth it. There s just a mystical feel to it. 02:02 - Cabo da Roca The westernmost point of Europe, here we have a lookout point with a beautiful lighthouse overlooking the ocean. 02:09 - Marisco na Praca You can pick and choose from a seafood bar here, but be sure to try the seafood rice! It was our favourite. PORTO 02:17 - Sao Bento Railway Station Get introduced to the beautiful azulejo tiles of Porto at the railway station here! 02:23 - Cafe Santiago Just like in Lisbon, are you really in Porto if you haven t tried the local delight, Francesinha? 02:30 - Porto Cathedral Discover one of the city s oldest cathedrals, open to the public to simply sight-see or join in their service. 02:37 - Palacio de Cristal We highly recommend setting up a picnic here and catching the sunset overlooking downtown Porto. 02:46 - Duoro Valley Day Tour Go on a wine-tasting day tour to try different kinds of port wine! If you fancy sweeter-tasting wines, this is definitely the tour for you to take. 02:51 - Livariao Lello This bookstore is said to have inspired JK Rowling to start on the Harry Potter series. 02:59 - Tile Making Tour You ll get to see thousands of tiles lining the walls of buildings all across Porto, why not make your own too? Learn from a local in Porto! 03:03 - Ribeira Square End your trip at one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Porto. The sunset here is also not to be missed! ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Akif - http://instagram.com/akifkeith Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern https://t.me/thetravelintern Learn about The Travel Intern Programme: ► https://thetravelintern.com/about-tra...
