Sun-drenched coastline, old-world charm, and the slow Atlantic Europe.
Portugal does something rare — it stays affordable while staying beautiful. Lisbon's hill-and-tile soul, Porto's river light, the Alentejo's slow inland heat, and the Algarve's cliff coastline all hold up against more famous European routes.
