Portugal

Portugal has become one of Europe’s favorite destinations, and it’s easy to see why: Lisbon’s hills and trams, Porto’s wine cellars, and the Algarve’s cliffs and beaches all sit within a small country. Food leans on seafood and pastries, especially the pastel de nata. Prices are still lower than most of Western Europe, though that’s changing as more people discover it. Trains and buses make it simple to combine several regions in one trip.
