8Portugal: The Rising Star
Portugal has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting destinations, combining rich cultural heritage with modern vibrancy. Lisbon, the capital, is a city of contrasts, where old tram cars rattle through narrow streets lined with pastel-colored buildings. The Alfama district, with its fado music and Moorish architecture, offers a glimpse into the country’s soulful past.
Porto, famous for its port wine, boasts a picturesque riverside and a historic center that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Douro Valley, with its terraced vineyards, is perfect for wine lovers. For beach enthusiasts, the Algarve region offers stunning cliffs, golden beaches, and crystal-clear waters.
