One Week in Portugal: Three Routes That Work

Seven days in Portugal done three ways: Lisbon with Sintra and the coast, Porto with the Douro valley, or a north to south run. What each route gives up and which suits a first visit.

One Day in Porto: An Order That Only Climbs the Hill Once

A single day in a very steep city: a route that starts high, ends low, crosses the river at the right moment, and still leaves time for a port lodge and dinner.

Two Weeks in Portugal: A Route That Is Not Just Driving

Fourteen days from Lisbon to Porto and the Douro, with the Alentejo and the Algarve: how many bases, which legs go by train, and where to slow down.
