Planning a trip to Portugal? It’s easy to see why this has become such a popular place to visit in Europe! Here’s where you can find our best Portugal travel tips, city guides, and much more.
Our first trip was back in 2015 around the time we first started our travel blog. We spent a few days in the town of Lagos on the beautiful Algarve Coast. After exploring some of the country’s best beaches, we knew it wouldn’t be long before we returned.
In 2019, we made our way back to Portugal! We started off in the big city of Lisbon before heading out on a one week road trip. Our journey would take us through so many amazing towns and castles. We ended in the northern city of Porto, which was the perfect finale to our Portugal trip.
Check out all our Portugal travel guides for tips, and to hear all about our experiences. We’re already planning another trip soon, so stay tuned!
