Portugal is a must!

Lisbon itself is a city that truely never sleeps, and neither will you with everything on offer here. You’ll want to check out the high end fashion district tucked in behind Comércio Plaza. Follow that up with a stroll across to the Time Out Food Market for some sustenance! We swear that you’ll never find a better Portuguese Tart than at the small but bustling Manteigaria on the corner of Largo de Camões. Need a break from the city then take a short train ride west to relax on the pocket beach of Cascais – and don’t worry the beach has it’s own bar (of course!).

Now don’t think for a second that Lisbon is all there is to Portugal. In this country there is delight to be had in every direction. Some favourites are Porto in the North or the Algarve coast in the sunny south. All in all Portugal is a gorgeously unique destination for any modern bohemian. Whether you seek the explosive metropolitan night life, sleepy sea side towns, rugged rural landscapes, exotic beaches or a dedication to national cuisine that is mouthwateringly divine… Portugal is for you!
