    Visited Portugal for two weeks in 2015 with my wife and two daughters (teens at the time). We visited Lisbon, Obidos, Faro, Evora, Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Braga, Figueira da Foz, and Sintra before heading back to Canada. It was a busy two weeks, but we loved every minute of it. Best vacation we've ever had. We still talk about it on a regular basis and can't wait to go back again (for a much longer period of time). Cheers Portugal!

    Porto is my favorite city in Portugal and is one of the beautiful cities I've visited in Europe.

    My grandparents were from Portugal. If you can't get there, the next best thing is to have Rick Steves bring Portugal to you. It's really awesome to see my family heritage. ♥️

    You hear of London,Paris, Rome etc. all the time . Nobody told me about Portugal - what a beautiful country with a great history and geography . I'd love to come there . I hear now that the buzz in Europe is about Portugal ; there are many people who now want to migrate and settle there .Cheers to Porto wine !
