Venture further to discover Coimbra’s university heritage, the colorful canals of Aveiro, the historical depth of Braga, and the birthplace of Portugal, Guimarães.

Finally, head south to the sun-drenched Algarve, where golden beaches meet history in Faro and the charming Roman influences of Tavira.
