The winning project of two Portuguese, which consisted on creating a platform that identified the emotions that tourists associate the most with Lisbon, awarded them the first place in the international Tourism Innovation Competition!
This fantastic idea inspired us to create a list of the feelings we associate with the country’s most beautiful destinations. Go on a tour around Portugal and awaken your emotions!
Love in Lisbon
We’re not surprised that Portugal’s most beautiful and bright city awakens feelings of love inside of us. Lisbon is the place of lovers!
Come feel the love in the narrow and colorful streets of Alfama and Mouraria, with laundry blowing in the wind and balconies filled with flowers.
Fall in love while watching the ever-present Tagus River, whether at the modern Nations’ Park, admiring the Vasco da Gama Bridge, or at the Docas bars, next to 25 de Abril Bridge, the iconic twin of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.
Admire the city’s history and architecture, passing through Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery and recharge batteries with the famous custard tarts called ‘Pastéis de Belém’. Then set on to discover Terreiro do Praço, Santa Just Elevator, São Jorge’s Castle and many other well-known places in the capital.
Let yourself go with the art, combining the finest works from the last centuries in the museums with the omnipresent street art, signed by the most talented artists of our time.
A Lisbon tailor-made tour is the perfect way to get to know this exciting city that will stay in your heart forever.
Friendship in Oporto
Those who visit Oporto feel at home. Like you’ve always lived here, the people is its greatest treasure, welcoming the visitors as if they were family.
There’s a reason why Oporto has become one of the favorite places for tourism in Portugal. There is so much to see in Oporto and it’s the perfect place to visit with your friends.
Come have a great time in Portugal’s most fun city! Walk through the riverside area, UNESCO’s World Heritage called ‘zona ribeirinha’ and cross the Dom Luís Bridge, an imposing metal bridge that is one the city’s most famous characteristics.
Go to the wine cellars, taste the world known Port and learn about the history behind its production. Imagine the barrels travelling through the Douro River to Vila Nova de Gaia and how they would sail on from Portugal to England and many other countries. You too can travel the Douro River, hop on the traditional Rabelo boats and live a memorable experience!
Discover the Clérigos Church and Tower, national and local symbols, as well as Oporto’s Cathedral. Don’t miss São Bento’s Railway Station, nominated as one of the most beautiful stations in the world!
Finish your private tour in Oporto with a visit to the stunningly beautiful Lello & Irmão bookstore that inspired J. K. Rowling while writing the Harry Potter books. Then stroll on Aliados Avenue and Santa Catarina Street, two key areas of the city and soak in Oporto’s unique atmosphere.
And to truly testify the friendship that overflows in Portugal’s second largest city, go to Bolhão Market, have a blast with the locals and check why the female sellers in this market are recognized for their flamboyant and feisty temper.
Inspiration in Évora
One of Portugal’s most interesting places, those who visit Évora feel transformed by its beauty!
The city was designated as World Heritage by UNESCO and Évora’s historic heritage is incredibly rich.
Let yourself be amazed by the city’s most iconic monument, the Roman Temple. This symbol of Évora goes back to the 2nd or 3rd century. Although many people still think it was devoted to the goddess Diana, the temple was actually meant for Imperial Cult.
Feel the admiration at São Francisco’s Church and the Bones Chapel, covered in human bones and one of Portugal’s most unusual monuments.
If you want to go even further back in time while visiting Évora, go to the pre-historic monuments like the region’s cromlechs and menhirs.
You won’t lack any inspiration in this city since besides all this historic legacy, Évora also has an incredibly beautiful natural heritage. The typical ‘Alentejana’ landscape with its prairies covered in olive trees and cork oak will certainly charm you.
Even animals prosper here, whether living freely and providing a great experience for those who enjoy birdwatching or for human consumption like the tasty ‘Alentejana’ meat. The regional products like olive oil and cork amaze the visitors while the simple and traditional gastronomy delights those who love a good meal.
A travel around Portugal that includes a tour in Évora is the best option for those who want to find themselves and feel inspired again in this incredibly beautiful place.
