Lisbon
The capital has the nicest hotels, amazing food, and breathtaking landscapes. Spring is one of the best times to explore Lisbon without the touristy crowds and scorching summer heat.
Porto
Have you heard about the famous Port Wine? Porto has plenty of it, and we recommend visiting the city’s wine cellars for a tasting. Don’t forget to follow it up with a Francesinha, the hearty Portuguese sandwich that originated here.
Sintra
Get swept away by the wild, sylvan, and fairytale city of Sintra. With cooler spring temperatures, it’s the perfect time to explore its landscapes and palaces without the intense summer heat.
Braga
The town of archbishops, Braga, is adorned with historic churches and emblematic cafés that tell centuries of stories. A must-visit Roman city during the spring season.

Often called the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro enchants lovers and art enthusiasts alike. Admire its Art Nouveau buildings and enjoy a romantic moliceiro cruise through the canals in springtime.
Douro
The Douro Valley is a fertile land where generations of farmers have cultivated grapes, fruits, and vegetables. Along with its renowned vineyards, towns like Peso da Régua, Pinhão, and Lamego make for unforgettable spring visits. The landscapes are phenomenal, and the season is ideal.
