6 Portugal Escapes for Autumn Sun


1. The Beiras - Portugal (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

This is the Beiras chapter from Lonely Planet’s Portugal guidebook.


2. Portugal - The Alentejo (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Portugal’s largest region truly captivates. Think dry, golden plains, rolling hillsides and lime-green vines. A rugged coastline, traditional whitewashed villages, marble towns and majestic medieval cities. Plus a proud if melancholic people, who valiantly cling to their local crafts.


3. Portugal - Estremadura & Ribatejo (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Estremadura and Ribatejo constitute Portugal’s heartland. These fertile lands have formed the backdrop for every major chapter in Portuguese history, from the building of fortified settlements in the 12th century to the release of Salazar’s political prisoners in 1974.


4. Portugal - Porto, The Douro & Tras-os-Montes (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

It’s the dynamic Rio Douro that brings diversity to the province it has defined, with its granite bluffs, wine caves, medieval stone houses and steep, terraced vineyards. While beautiful and historic Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city, is at its mouth.

6. Portugal - Lisbon & Around (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Lisbon has captivated visitors for centuries. Windswept vistas reveal the city in all its beauty: Roman and Moorish ruins, white-domed cathedrals, grand plazas lined with sun-drenched cafes. The real delight of discovery, though, is delving into the city’s narrow cobblestone lanes.
