Source(s): Have been there quite a few times Other Travel Tips I need more information to be able to answer this one properly but having been to Portugal as a tourist nine times in the last seven years I might be able to help you. I'm portuguese so I will help you... For sure to go to Portugal , u should choose Summer or Spring, because otherwise cold u have in almost every European Country. U can try on the beaches in the Algarve, which are very good, 5 stars, for example: Beach of Monte Gordo, Praia da Rocha (Portim茫o),and some beaches near the city of Albufeira. Monte Gordo has alwyas green flag... Mostly. There are more good beaches but not in Algarve and they are colder then the Algarve ones. In terms of monuments I recommend a trip to Lisbon, where you can visit The Belem Tour which was a very important building during the portuguese expansion. U can also try in Lisbon to eat "Pasteis de belem" which are some really good tiny cakes .U can also visit the "Jer贸nimos" , the city's castle and the tradicional streets in the centre,I also recommend visiting a town near by called Sintra, where is loacted the Pena's palace which is a fantastic monument ... Since in this area there's a lot to do so I can't refer everything. U can try Tomar, a town in the middle of Portugal, where u can visit its castle and Crito's convent which is taking part in the 7 wonders of Portugal contest like Belem's tower. Plus in Tomar this year there's going to be a traditional party called "Festa dos tabuleiros" u can search in the net 4 it cos there is a lot of information... It is a great party and many people come to see it . Finally u can visit the North of the country whre u find some cities like Oporto, Guimar茫es, Braga etc which have a lot to offer , the counry it self has a lot to offer, so why don't come here and enjoy... P.S :I live in Tomar so if u r interested ask something I'll answer! A fine answer from Ricardo but he fails to mention the Alentejo, a beautiful region above the Algarve with beaches on the atlantic and a charming interior along the Spanish border. lots of history and culture and it's very cheap and untouristy. And I live there. Me Hi!! Sun and Beach are a trademark for many years of portugal, but the main opportunity is the exotic destination in Europe. The size and diversity of the Country let's you experience beach, wildlife, mountain, city, country, all in short trips!
