Portugal

Portugal mixes old cities with wild Atlantic coastlines. In Lisbon, historic tram 28 winds through steep streets to scenic miradouros overlooking terracotta rooftops and the Tagus River. Porto’s riverside cellars are known for port wine tastings, while the Douro Valley stretches inland with terraced vineyards and quiet villages.
