When you travel to another country, it is not always possible to immerse yourself in its traditions and customs, something that will not only make you enjoy your stay more, but will also leave memorable moments for those who dare to discover a new culture. For this reason, we are going to give you some tips that will allow you to enjoy your visit even more.

The best way to visit Lisbon is to let yourself be carried away by its trams, lines that run through the city in a classic and old-fashioned way. The tram gives the capital a very pleasant retro air, which will undoubtedly leave a beautiful memory. Near the capital, you can visit Estoril and Cascais, as well as Sintra, a World Heritage Site, and at sunset, sail along the Tagus River while admiring the city. A fundamental part of the culture is the beautiful and nostalgic music, so be sure to attend a Fado and Portuguese guitar show, a very peculiar and beautiful type of music.

Sign up for excursions that include Óbidos, a fortified village of whitewashed houses and narrow streets with an unmistakable medieval atmosphere, Nazaré, a picturesque fishing village, Fátima, one of the most important Marian sanctuaries in Christianity, Batalha and the Monastery of Santa Maria d’Alcobaça, declared World Heritage Sites.

Enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the spectacular views from the westernmost points of continental Europe.

Get to know the city of Porto, also declared a World Heritage Site, which has one of the most remarkable historic centres in all of Europe and was selected as the first European destination in 2013. Visit the prestigious Douro Valley on a wine tour with a tasting of traditional Port wine. Finally, live an experience in the sky, embark on a hot air balloon in Coruche and toast with a glass of champagne at the end of the ride.
