01. Wander the cities
Portuguese cities are picturesque, full of stories to tell and people to meet. Lose yourself in the beautiful streets and observe the women looking down from their windows, clothes blowing on the wind, beautiful parks, terraces overlooking the river, street parties, amusement outside the bars and plenty of people having fun.
02. Enjoy the fantastic beaches
Portugal has wonderful beaches, a never ending coast line filled with white sand and an ocean on the horizon. Take advantage of these beaches and soak up the sun, go for a swim, learn how to surf, try kitesurf or simply stroll by the ocean.

It’s impossible to spend time outdoors and not become fascinated by animals. There are countless activities that allow you to spend time and learn more about animals.
