Where to go to around Portugal
Few are the places in Lisbon that are off the tourists’ and even locals’ eye.

We’re not going to keep you much, we know you’re busy now with the preparation for the New Year’s Eve and all the cin cin stuff, and we do feel you.

Coimbra is a city to see if you’re planning a longer stay throughout Portugal. It speaks history at every step and that’s the reason number one why it is so enthralling. Continue reading
