2025 Portugal Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

******Don't go here in Portugal.******** Because I'm the only one who wants to go there 🥺🤭 I'll recommend a city in Portugal that was that good! 📍Porto / The city that was good enough to live in for a month was Porto! It's a city full of romance and leisurely even when you're still, so it's a city that you'll want to go to again and again. In particular, the sunset in Porto was so good that I'd say it's the unforgettable sunset of my life 🥺😍 📍Braga / It's a city located in the northern part of Portugal, and it's also a city that was good while living there for a month. It's a city with a long history and a university district, so it's the very essence of Portugal's high teens😍 📍Aveiro / Aveiro, called the Venice of Portugal! Aveiro and Costa Nova are often combined for a trip near Porto, but it's a cute and pretty town. I especially recommend the Taberna do Arco restaurant! 📍Costa Nova Costa Nova / Costa Nova, located near Porto, is famous for its striped towns. It is a representative resort city, and in the summer, people from northern Portugal go to Costa Nova for vacation. 📍Valença / Valença, a border city in Portugal, can be reached in about two hours from Porto. I walked across the border to the town of Touille in Spain, and it was really leisurely and nice. 📍Lisboa Lisboa / It is the capital of Portugal and also the largest port city. Not only is the food delicious, but the alleys are full of Portuguese atmosphere, so you must visit. In particular, you must definitely ride the tram🫶🏽 📍Cascais Cascais / It is a nearby city that you can go to from Lisbon, and it is one of the representative resort cities. The beach is just a 1-minute walk from Cascais Station, so people from Lisbon go to Cascais for vacation on weekends. 📍Cape Roca / Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of the Eurasian continent, is a must-see when traveling to Lisbon. The feeling of stepping on the westernmost point of the land is indescribable..🥹 If you're traveling to Europe this summer, Portugal is a country I definitely recommend. Portugal is perfect for happiness, romance, gastronomy, and music!🇵🇹 #Portugal #PortugalTravel #Portu #PortuTravel #Lisbon #LisbonTravel #PortugalBeach #PortugalRecommendation #Aveiro #BragaTravel #CostaNova #CapeRoca #Cascais #PortoRecommendation #EuropeTravel #Europe

Traveling and taking photos in Portugal is a great choice for you. The colorful houses built on the hillsides🏠, the ancient trams🚌, the ubiquitous taverns🍷, the romantic Fado music🎵...

The winter in Portugal is a bit colder, but it's not as vibrant as the summer in Portugal. Each beach and attraction has a natural majesty. Star Mountain on the southern coast of Portugal, with its bizarre caves, turbulent currents, and cool sea breezes. But you can still challenge paddleboarding against the waves, overcome fear and take risks. Or you can quietly enjoy the sunlight that you don't dare to hope for in winter on the coast, the comfortable temperature of about 20 degrees, which makes people unconsciously slow down. But when you think this is all about Portugal, you must have never been to Star Mountain in the north, with sub-zero temperatures, towering and continuous rocks, making you think for a moment that you have returned to Iceland and Norway, only the natural magic is in front of you. It takes two hours to walk back and forth, but it makes people linger and forget that this is actually Portugal. Winter in Portugal, with the vastness of the sea and the magnificence of the mountains.

Visit the city of proto, the second largest capital of Portugal after Lisbon.

Another Portugal recommendation 🔍 : If you travel to Portugal you can't miss O Mundo Fantástico da Sardinha Portuguesa, a shop that sells cans of canned sardines. The most spectacular thing about the store is the decoration and the atmosphere it conveys, because even if you don not like sardines, you will want to go in. There is a wall where there are different cans of sardines with different years and it is very typical to buy a can of sardines with your year of birth. Enjoy travelling! ✈️ 1st, 2nd & 3rd photos: Shop of cans of canned sardines #mytripvlog #portugal #foodie #urbanexplorer #food #foodietravel

It is not difficult to see these beautiful blue tiles on historic buildings in Portugal. On my trip to Porto, they were on almost at every major sights, including the very famous Chapel of the Souls, Sao Bento Station, and the Cathedral of Porto to name a few. There is always a story to tell - whether biblical or historical, and usually quite well preserved. Another type of art often seen in Portugal is the cobblestone pavements. In Lisbon, they are on almost every street, while the more intricate or elegant designs are on the larger squares. They are beautiful to look at, and add to the charm of the city, but definitely not friendly for high heels ! #urbanexplorer #portugal #porto #lisbon #artaddict

Lovely place to explore, sipping beers by the sea. Visited the old town. Highly recommend during the train and saves the walk! Weather was good, food great. Very clean and tidy place. Stayed in a apartment with flights from Uk.

The egg tart shop 'Pasteis de Belem' is famous for its delicious taste in Portugal. Once you try it, you'll know why it's so highly praised. It's true to the formula of soft on the outside and soft on the inside, and it's delicious without being too sweet. Since I tried the egg tart here, my expectations have been high, so I didn't like the taste of the egg tarts from other places. The egg tarts here are even tastier when they're freshly made and warm, so please keep that in mind. It's located in the Belem district of Lisbon, Portugal, so it's perfect for a snack while sightseeing nearby. Address: R. de Belém 84 92, 1300-085 Lisboa, Portugal Opening hours: (Mon-Sun) 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM #Portugal travel#Egg tarts #Lisbon restaurants#Pasteis de Belem#pasteisdebelem

It is a romantic river that is like a symbol of Porto. The Douro River, which flows through the center of Porto, Portugal, is a river that flows through the northern part of both Spain and Portugal. It is about 770km long, the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula, and its drainage area is about 78,000km2, making it the largest river in the peninsula. There are many wineries located near the Douro River, so drinking wine is quite enjoyable. The wonderful view of the Douro River is a great accompaniment to wine, and the night view is also amazing! #PortugalTravel #PortoTravel #DouroRiver

This is a bakery with a long history that has been in business for five generations since it opened in 1829. The cappuccino is perfect for savoring the rich flavor of milk, and it also brings out the taste of the cold bread well. The egg tarts here are especially delicious when eaten cold. I personally am satisfied with the bread here! Some people might say, 'It's just plain and plain bread?' However, since the bread is faithful to the basics, people who value the basics might be satisfied? It wasn't a waste of 190 years of tradition! Address: Praça da Figueira 18B, 1100-241 Lisboa, Portugal Opening hours: (Mon-Sun) 8:30 AM - 7:30 PM #Portugal Travel #Lisbon Restaurants #Confeitarianacional #confeitarianacional #Bakery Cafe

A hot place that Harry Potter fans must visit! It is also where J.K. Rowling spent a lot of time writing her first book, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'. A place that is gaining popularity in Porto thanks to the Harry Potter effect. Since it is a cafe that opened in 1921, I am sure that those who like antique and elegant interiors will fall in love at first sight. I ordered and inhaled the signature menu of this place, Bonbon coffee and French toast (local menu name: Lavanada). The whipped cream and warm condensed milk went well together, and the Bonbon coffee, which boasted a very sweet taste, and the French toast, which had a strong taste of the familiar hotteok, gave me great satisfaction. The only regret is the high price? The prices of all the menus sold in the cafe were unreasonable. It was a bit disappointing that the unit price was measured quite high compared to the general Portuguese price. Worth a visit at least once. Address: Rua Santa Catarina 112, 4000-442 Porto, Portugal Opening hours: (Mon-Sat) 9:00 AM - 11:30 PM #Portugal#Portugal travel #Portu travel#Portu cafe #Majestic cafe#majesticcafe#Hot place

The town of Obitos is located about an hour from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. It's a very cute town with a long history. The town is surrounded by a wall, and you can walk on top of the wall. The contrast between the white walls and the orange roofs is beautiful. It was great to see the blue sky. #retrotownscape

Here are some photos of Porto, a city in Portugal that remain as really happy memories! While crossing the Douro River and looking around the Sao Bento train station, I ate so many egg tarts (actually, I didn't get tired of them) 🥺🥺 A place I really, really want to go back to.. When I went into a small cathedral early in the morning, I could see people praying, and I still remember the unique scent and solemn atmosphere!

📍LaRicota LaRicota is a very famous Porto restaurant among Koreans.! LaRicota is a course meal, but the price is not too expensive. Especially for lunch, you can eat bread before the meal - appetizer - main menu - drink - dessert for less than 20 euros per person.🤑 The courses I chose were the ones that many Koreans choose, so the taste was guaranteedㅎ The appetizer was an eggplant dish, and I am a vegetable lover, but it was the first time I realized that eggplant could be so delicious.!🍆 And for the main meal, I had octopus🐙, a must-eat when you come to Porto, to share with a friend. We had risotto with cod meat. But of course, octopus couldn't be tastelessㅠㅠ The cod meat was so tender that it melted in my mouth🤤 I finished it off neatly with dessert and paid, and I was even more satisfied because I ate so deliciously and fillingly and it only cost 19 euros per person👍🏻 If you go to Porto, you should definitely visit "La Ricotta"☺️ #Porto #Portugal #PortuTravel #PortugalTravel #EuropeTravel #PortugalRestaurant #La Ricotta #laricotta #porto #portugal #vacationtravel #traveldestinationrecommendation #GourmetConquest#YearEndTravel#CityTravel#GourmetExploration#SafeTravel

Porto's landmark, the Dom Luis Bridge, which can be seen from anywhere in Porto! Since it's a small city, you can really leisurely walk around in 2-3 days. In particular, Porto is famous for its beautiful sunsets. Unfortunately, I didn't see the sunset, but it was so nice just going up to Moro Park every evening and staring blankly at the Dom Luis Bridge☺️ If you're going on a vacation trip to Europe, I hope you include Porto in your itinerary🤍👍🏻 #Porto #Portugal #PortuTravel #PortugalTravel #EuropeTravel #PortoDom LuisBridge #Dom Luis #Dom LuisBridge #VacationTravel #TravelDestinationRecommendation #NewYearTravel #WinterTravel #2019Travel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #YearEndTravel #CityTravel #SafeTravel

Portugal 🇵🇹 Agueta Umbrella Sky Project ⛱ Colorful umbrella decorations have recently become more common in shopping malls in Japan ⛱ Actually, this originated in a small town in Portugal called Agueta. It was started to revitalize the small shopping district. Isn't it a great success?! There are people like me who travel far from Japan to visit. When it was not well known in Japan, I found it while searching for travel destinations online, and I wanted to go, so I went during the festival. I went during Japan's Silver Week, but it was towards the end of the festival, so it was unfortunate that there were fewer umbrellas, but I was really moved when I saw them. After that, I started seeing them in various places in Japan, and every time I see them, I'm reminded of Portugal. #BreathtakingView #Portugal #BreathtakingView

If you climb up the maze-like town of Obidos, you will see the castle walls, and if you climb up the castle walls, you will see the town of Obidos. It is a small town full of flowers.

#Restaurant Tour I went to a famous snack shop in Portugal and there was no waiting. There were sliced ​​and fried potatoes on the bottom and egg yolk and cheese on top. It was a familiar menu, but it was unique and delicious because I had never eaten it like this before.

A striped town near Porto! If you are a striped lover, you will love it Porto is attractive, but Costa Nova is also a really attractive place! City!

#ShareTravelBudget Share the budget for traveling to Europe, 2 countries in 1 trip, Spain – Portugal, 9 days Traveling by yourself (tired by yourself -.-“) Including everything, including visa, it’s not more than 70,000 baht per person Is that right? My friends said it’s cheap. Details are as follows - Airfare 22,000 baht (try China Eastern, it’s a bit roundabout because you have to fly to Shanghai first, but the ticket price is very cheap, sometimes less than 20,000 baht, book through trip.com) - Travel insurance 985 baht - Travel expenses (train, overnight bus) 17,401 baht (you can book the train through trip.com) - Accommodation 9,430 baht (mostly choose to stay in apartments) - Entrance fee to attractions, about 5,700 baht - Schengen VISA 4,435 baht - Food 9,000 baht Total 68,950 baht Note: If you call Bolt, it’s convenient, so I’ll add more. And with this price, I got to see many highlights, both in Spain, where I visited Madrid, Segovia, Toledo, Sevilla, Granada, Barcelona (I also got to see Real Madrid's football stadium, but unfortunately, Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium was closed for renovation). As for Portugal, I got to visit Porto and Lisbon. Spain has very good weather and very delicious food, especially Paella (Spanish fried rice), which I eat almost every day. Iberico ham is famous for raw pork, which many people may turn away from, but it's actually very delicious. It's made from Iberian pig legs, raised happily, and the meat is marinated in salt for a long time, which makes the pork delicious. Portugal also has good weather, good wine, and delicious egg tarts. The places to visit are very close to each other. Overall, it's a Europe that doesn't cost a lot of money and is worth a visit.
