Best places to visit in portugal.
Portugal's many lively cities, laid-back towns and paradisiacal islands make it difficult to choose just one destination to visit. A trip to this enchanting country will no doubt have you itching to return, but to help you decide which locations you want to prioritize first, U.S. News considered factors like quality attractions, traveler sentiment and natural beauty to come up with this list of the best places to visit in Portugal. Cast your vote below to help us rank next year's list.
The Algarve
Douro valley, peneda-geres national park.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/b71a085/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2F482255905_18_445x280_2CpbJ7z.jpg)
First-time visitors will want to add Portugal's capital city to the top of their bucket list. Travelers flock to Lisbon from all over the world to revel in its soulful Fado music, marvel at its colorful azulejo tiles and stroll through its historic Alfama district. Get your hands on a pastel de nata, Lisbon's beloved custard tart, then spend the rest of your day visiting top sights like the Bélem Tower, São Jorge Castle and the Jerónimos Monastery. If you need a break from trudging up and down Lisbon's steep hills, take the city's iconic Tram 28 to one of the city's famed overlooks, called miradouros.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/181bc9d/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FAlgarve-Lagoa-ruivalesousa-Getty_lPu0MOr.jpg)
This picturesque region in southern Portugal includes roughly 100 miles of golden Atlantic Ocean coastline, so it comes as no surprise that it boasts some of Portugal's best beaches . It's tempting to spend your whole trip lounging on shorelines like Praia da Falésia and Praia da Marinha, but if you can tear yourself away from the sand, you'll find that sampling fresh seafood in fishing towns like Olhão and wandering vibrant resort areas like Lagos and Albufeira is just as worthwhile. But if you're seeking a truly one-of-a-kind experience, make time for a boat tour to the spectacular Benagil Sea Cave.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/e08ff2d/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2Fsmall_edit_-_porto_main_getty_sebastien_gaborit_445x280_lnszSY1.jpg)
Known for its port dessert wine, this coastal city in northwest Portugal is an excellent destination for oenophiles who want to spend their vacation sampling vino from Porto's many wine cellars. But there is more to this scenic metropolis than wine. As Portugal's second-largest city, Porto offers a range of attractions to explore, including the Porto Cathedral, Crystal Palace Gardens and sprawling Porto City Park. Don't leave without taking in the view of the Douro River from the Dom Luís I Bridge and perusing the titles on display at Livraria Lello, one of the world's most beautiful bookstores and the rumored inspiration behind several " Harry Potter " set designs.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/4ed79e9/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2Fgettyimages-1057569876_O5lyka3.jpg)
From emerald-green forests to black sand beaches to natural rock pools, it's easy to see why this group of nine volcanic islands roughly 1,000 miles off the coast of mainland Portugal is called the Hawaii of Europe. Newcomers should head to the archipelago's largest island, São Miguel, where they can wander the historic city of Ponta Delgada, explore Terra Nostra Park's botanical garden and admire unique twin lakes at Sete Cidades. The Azores are also known for their year-round whale-watching opportunities, and you can't miss a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira Island.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/fc2dd0d/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FSintra_Pena_Palace-davidionut-getty_cMgCOoP.jpg)
Although Sintra sits less than 20 miles northwest of Lisbon, it may as well be worlds away. Set amid the rolling Sintra Mountains, this UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once a getaway for Portuguese nobility is today known for its magnificent castles, including the National Palace of Pena and Quinta da Regaleira. The best way to see Sintra is on a full-day tour from Lisbon, as driving the area's winding roads can be harrowing and you'll learn more history from an experienced guide (plus, many tour providers offer skip-the-line options). Choose a tour that stops in the nearby town of Cascais to wander its charming old town and lounge on its idyllic beaches.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/85f67ec/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2Fgettyimages-467497162_445x280_sABXdTT.jpg)
Photos of Madeira's stunning scenery (think: lush greenery, rushing waterfalls and rugged coastlines) don't do justice to this four-island archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa – you'll just have to experience it for yourself. Head to Madeira's capital, Funchal, to knock top attractions like the Monte Palace Madeira, Madeira Botanical Gardens and Mercado dos Lavradores, a popular farmer's market, off your to-do list. Spend whatever vacation hours you have left hiking Madeira's famous irrigation channels, called levadas, and sipping Madeira wine. Just don't leave without going for a dip in Porto Moniz's incredible seaside swimming pools, which are naturally filled with seawater.

Yet another destination on this list known for its wine production, Portugal's Douro Valley was made for travelers who want to slow down and smell the rosé. The whole region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, prized for its unique terraced vineyards, charming villages and gorgeous landscape. Revel in the valley's beauty on a scenic train ride or a boat tour of the Douro River, then visit a historic quinta (wine estate) for a port tasting. No trip would be complete without visiting Peso da Régua's Douro Museum and viewing Paleolithic rock art at the Côa Valley Archaeological Park.

Travelers will be spoiled for choice in this Portuguese city approximately 30 miles southeast of Lisbon. Not only does Setúbal feature a mix of green spaces (like Arrábida Natural Park) and sandy beaches (like Praia da Figueirinha and Praia dos Galapinhos), but it is also one of the country's most important ports. You'll want to pencil in time to tour several historic attractions, including the Fort of São Filipe and the Palmela Castle, as well as browse the stalls of Mercado do Livramento, Setúbal's indoor fish market. And if watching animals in their natural habitat appeals to you, book a dolphin-watching tour of the Sado River.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/9908e77/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FPeneda_Geres_National_Park_Cavado_River-Sergey_Peterman-Getty_URO1sLK.jpg)
Who needs more than one national park when you have Peneda-Geres? Despite being the country's sole national park, this 270-square-mile piece of wilderness in northern Portugal has a lot to offer, from ancient forests to valleys to cascading waterfalls. Spend your day observing the park's ample wildlife, which includes mammals like wolves and wild ponies, and hiking to glassy lagoons. You'll also want to visit the granite granaries in historic villages like Soajo and Lindoso and walk along the park's well-preserved Geira Roman Road.

Revered among surfers for its massive swells, this town 75 miles north of Lisbon is sure to impress. Watch professional surfers ride some of the largest waves in the world at legendary Praia do Norte – the Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo is said to offer the best views – or spend the day lounging at the tamer Praia da Nazaré. Beyond the beach, Nazaré is a quaint town that cherishes its local customs, as seen in the traditional costumes still worn by some residents. Other must-do activities here include riding the funicular to the cliffside Sítio district and sampling Nazaré's delectable seafood.

As the birthplace of Portugal's first king, Alfonso I, Guimarães appeals to history buffs who want to learn more about the country's medieval past. Begin with a visit to the well-preserved Guimarães Castle, then head to the impressive Palace of the Dukes of Bragança to admire its collection of tapestries, ceramics and furniture. You'll also want to set aside time for exploring the narrow, winding streets of Guimarães' UNESCO-listed historic center, which is lined with cafes and charming plazas. Before you leave, take a cable car to the top of Penha Mountain for postcard-worthy views of the city.

Encircled by medieval walls, this town about 50 miles north of Lisbon is straight out of a dream. Óbidos' charm lies in its whitewashed architecture, cobblestone streets and purple bougainvillea flowers. Stroll down Rua Direita, Óbidos' main street, to browse shops and cafes, or snap a photo of the town's colorful azulejos at Porta da Vila (the town gate). The Óbidos Castle is another must-visit, and you can walk the battlements for panoramic vistas. Meanwhile, travelers with a sweet tooth will want to visit during the town's International Chocolate Festival, which occurs in the spring.

Home to one of Europe's oldest universities, the University of Coimbra, this historic city in central Portugal is characterized by its lively student population and rich cultural heritage. Arrange a visit to the university's hilltop campus, which is a dedicated UNESCO World Heritage Site, and tour popular sights like the Santa Cruz Church, St. Michael's Chapel and the Royal Palace. You'll also want to check out the Machado de Castro National Museum and, if you're craving a piece of nature, Coimbra's botanical garden features several rare plant species, a greenhouse and an aqueduct.

Called "the Venice of Portugal" for its network of scenic canals, this colorful city 45 miles south of Porto on the country's west coast should be on your radar. Travelers should start with a canal cruise on one of the city's traditional moliceiro boats to get a feel for the city, then spend the rest of the day exploring the Aveiro Cathedral and the Museum of Aveiro. When you've toured as many of Aveiro's historic sights as you can, pack a hat and some sunscreen for a tranquil day on nearby Costa Nova beach, known for its iconic striped houses, called palheiros.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/3fee24c/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FBraga-John_Harper-Getty_CMHw8ZT.jpg)
Dating back to 16 B.C., this city roughly 35 miles northeast of Porto is one of the oldest cities in Portugal. As one of the world's first Catholic cities, Braga is a popular pilgrimage site for its Bom Jesus do Monte, a UNESCO-listed sanctuary. The city's historic center is home to other religious sites like the Sé de Braga cathedral and Igreja de Santa Cruz. Other can't-miss attractions include the Santa Barbara Garden and Praça da República, a public square lined with cafes and restaurants.
![cave tour terceira cave tour terceira](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/c2f59bf/2147483647/resize/445x280^>/crop/445x280/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2FFatima-bloodua-Getty_L1WZwPP.jpg)
After three shepherd children reportedly saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary here in 1917, this town in central Portugal has become one of the country's most important Catholic pilgrimage sites. The biggest draw is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima, a large complex that is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Chapel of Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity. Though some devout religious travelers arrive on foot via one of the four Fátima Ways (pilgrimage paths from Lisbon, Coimbra, Nazare and Porto), a stop in Fátima is also included on many organized tours from Lisbon.
