Portugal

Great food, great weather. Only unemployment lets it down.

From extravagant classical buildings proclaiming a former maritime power to minimalist contemporary architecture. Come here for quiet, beautiful buildings. The food is good, too, especially the cod and sardines.

Exploring

Do not cram hilly walks together based only on map distances. Group nearby buildings to make the walking easier.

Getting around

For buildings on the coast or outside town, check the return journey separately from visits in the city centre.
