We visited Portugal multiple times since 2023 and it is in our opinion one of the most fascinating country in the wolrd although many people might disagree. But after visiting almost the entire country, we can guarantee, we would move there if someone were to put a gun to our heads. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
The highlight of Portugal is definitely the Azores Archipeligo. The wild Atlantic Ocean and the lush green volcanic islands persisting within are such an amazing scenery to wander about. Combined with a laid-back island vibe you really get to completely reset in this place. And if you had enough of one island you can just move on to the next one as each one has something different to offer.
Our favorite places on the mainland are by far the Capital Lisbon and the Costa Vicentina, where we hiked the famous Fisherman’s Trail.
