Synopsis:
The guide that shows you what other travel books only tell you!
Portugal is a country of rugged landscaped, sophisticated cities, rural backwaters, rustic fishing villages, and sharply contrasting traditions. With more than 1,000 full-color photographs in nine chapters and a special selection on Lisbon, DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide: Portugal brings everything together like no other travel guide. Portugal's architecture, history, cuisine, wines, and much more are examined. Explore the Museu da Sociedade de Geografia, Castelo de Sao Jorge, and Mosterio dos Jeronimos in the 18th century city of Lisbon. Travel to the Palacio de Pena in Serra de Sintra and to the wineries and vineyards in northern Portugal's world-famous port producing region. Maps of southern Portugal lead you to the sun-drenched beaches of Algarve and the islands of Madeira and the Azores. If Portugal is your destination, this is the most practical and easy-to-use travel companion.
