The Real PortugalBEYOND THE PASTEL DE NATA
Portugal holds a very special place in my heart because of a family event that took place at the circus in Lisbon 30 years ago. It’s a country steeped in color, sorrow, joy, and a full spectrum of emotion all at once. Lisbon pulses with art, a dynamic food scene, exceptional boutique hotels, and an intoxicating city life. Porto sways along the Douro, leading to a valley where the focus might be wine, but should just as much be on beauty, long hikes, kayaking, and fully embracing nature in a small quinta. Head south to the Algarve, where the rugged Atlantic reshapes the cliffside with each passing day. Make your own tiles. Learn the secret pastel de nata recipe. Go beyond the highlights to the Comporta beaches and deep into the Alentejo countryside.

Where to go in Portugal
Porto
Built on steep hills and brimming with character, Porto is where tradition meets quiet rebellion. Sip aged port in cellars along the Douro, get lost in azulejo-covered streets, or cross the Dom Luís I Bridge at golden hour. It’s gritty, romantic, and deeply intoxicating.
Douro
Where terraced vineyards tumble down to a winding river, the Douro Valley is pure poetry in landscape form. Cruise between centuries-old quintas, sip port beneath fig trees, and watch golden light stretch across the hills. It’s Portugal at its most serene, and most seductive.
Lisbon
A city of pastel facades, soulful Fado, and steep alleyways echoing with history, Lisbon feels like a living mosaic. Trams rattle past tiled buildings, rooftop bars overlook the Tagus, and time seems to slow just enough for a second espresso. It's effortlessly cool, with a melancholic heart.
Algarve
A coastline carved by wind and time, where ochre cliffs drop into hidden coves and turquoise surf. The Algarve balances barefoot charm with five-star elegance: think fishing villages, sunset sails, and cliffside seafood feasts. A sun-drenched escape that’s always in season.
