Portugal for the curious

Portugal for the curious

Skip the line attractions

Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery has huge queues, but skip them by walking to the Archaeology Museum and buying a combined ticket for both. Instead of waiting in the Monastery queue, simply take the middle line and they let you straight in.

Michelin dining

Eat at one of José Avillez’ many restaurants. As Portugal’s most celebrated chef, there are an assortment of restaurants across Lisbon and Porto, but for something fancy try his two Michelin Star, Belcanto. Book well in advance because there are only ten tables.

Enchanting Algarve

Small, simple restaurants, endless coastline and 3000 hours of sunshine. The Algarve is the jewel in Portugal’s already glistening crown. Pleasantly saturated in golden beach, vineyards and over 40 golf courses, no one can resist its allure.

Traditional music

Fado music can be heard wafting through the narrow lanes of Portugal’s old towns. Mostly telling of heartbreak, there’s no other style like it in the world. Experience a Fado music night and drench your ears in history.
