Welcome to Portugalist.com!
We write about the whole of Portugal: from the Algarve in the South of the country to Porto and Braga in the North of Portugal, and from Castelo Branco in the East of Portugal to the Azores islands in the West. Our aim is to not only explore but also blog about every corner of Portugal. Below, we've linked to some of the most popular destinations in Portugal and the travel guides that go with them.
