What are the prettiest places in Portugal? I asked a group of international travellers and here’s what they came up with.
Lisbon
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, it’s also the largest city in the country and one of the oldest cities in Western Europe.. It has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I’ve been to Lisbon twice. The first time was for a semester abroad program in college. The second time was for 6 weeks (I know, a bit excessive). I have to say that Lisbon is probably my favorite place that I have visited so far. Some of my favorite things to do in Lisbon include: exploring all of the different neighborhoods, getting lost in Alfama (the oldest neighborhood), and just enjoying life during one of their “happy hours. “
My favorite neighborhood in Lisbon is Praça do Comércio. It is constantly packed with tourists and locals alike. It’s also the point where all major pedestrian streets meet up (such as Restauradores, Rua Augusta, Bairro Alto, etc.). There are also a lot of great places to eat and shop. During the summer there are free concerts held every week, which is always fun to go to!
