10 Days Highlights of Portugal

About the destination: Lisbon is known as the city of seven hills due to its location, the city spreads across steep hillsides that overlook the Rio Tajo. Romantic and cosmopolitan, the city presents its typical red roofs to the visitors that want to get to know its every inch. Lisbon surprises with its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. The Portuguese capital offers lots of museums, libraries, a huge port, churches and palaces and stunning views of the Rio Tajo Lisbon was considered a poor and chaotic city. Currently it has experienced a resurgence in the style of the XIV and XV centuries, when it was part of that vast empire stretching from Brazil to India. The reason for this was the World Expo held in 1998, a new bridge over the Tagus was built and the network of underground of the city was remodeled. The resurgence of the city then continued to host several matches during Euro in 2004, also held there the Delivery Music Awards (MTV) in 2005. Many of its most beautiful buildings date from the XIV and XV centuries, especially the ones located in the Belem district. There are also many buildings from the XVIII century, which are located mostly in the Baixa area of central Lisbon and were reconstructed almost completely after a devastating earthquake that hit the town in 1755. The historic center of the city, standing on Las Siete Colinas, presents steep streets and picturesque alleys. On the west side of the city, there is Monsanto Forest Park, Lisbon’s lung, with an area of 10 km and one of the largest in Europe. The capital’s majestic port has 3 docks commonly used for several cruises and it is, currently, the busiest port in the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is a city with centuries of history and with an ambitious attitude, marrying the historic with the modern, the traditional with the cutting edge. Strolling through the old quarters one can hear the traditional Fado sung and played in small restaurants in town. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with jazz, reggae, electronica filling the air and revelers partying until dawn. Nightclubs scattered all over town make fine use of old spaces, whether on riverside docks or tucked away in 18th-century mansions. Lisbon presents itself to the world as a cosmopolitan and lively city, with alternative for every taste, especially in the summer months when its many bars, terraces and restaurants are crammed with people.

About the destination: Sintra is a town and a municipality in the Grande Lisboa subregion (Lisbon Region) of Portugal. The municipality contains two cities: Queluz and Agualva-Cacém. Sintra is known for its many 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments, which has resulted in its classification as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although its heritage in buildings and nature is the most visible face of the historic individuality of Sintra, a whole literary heritage has made the area a legendary reference in Portuguese culture. It has become a major tourist centre, visited by many day-trippers who travel from the centre and suburbs of the capital Lisbon. In addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are dotted with royal retreats, estates, castles and other buildings, including the mediaeval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace and the Sintra National Palace.

关于目的地: Porto酒店坐落在杜罗河（River Douro）切割的山谷上，以其美丽的建筑和葡萄酒的甜味而闻名。这个城市的中心是Avenida dos Aliados，这是一条宽阔的大道，由PraçaGeneralH. Delgado和PraçadaLiberdade环绕。尽管如此，这座城市最诱人的部分是里贝拉（Ribeira），河流区和联合国教科文组织世界遗产，这里有三座欧洲最优美的桥梁横跨峡谷。繁忙的PraçadaLiberdade和毗邻的Avenida dos Aliados组成了城镇的中心，雕像矗立在繁忙的马赛克走道的中心。附近有波尔图的大教堂，一个巨大的，坚固的罗马式建筑，其厚重的花岗岩基础，厚厚的墙壁和小窗户围绕着阴暗的内部。里贝拉沿着河流延伸，环绕着一个充满商店和餐馆的美妙码头。波尔图最具特色的纪念碑，华丽的TorredosClérigos，从其240级台阶上可以欣赏到城市的全景。如果不停留在港口存放和装瓶的许多酒窖，葡萄酒小屋，那么波尔图之旅就不会完整。即使你不是哈利波特的粉丝，也可以参观带有螺旋楼梯的迷人Lello图书馆。
