Tourist Attractions & Monuments Portugal

This unmissable house, founded by Antonio Alves Cálem in 1859, opens the doors of its historic cellars for an instructive visit, which explains all the secrets of Port wine making followed by a multimedia tour. The tour remains much the same as in other wine houses, but wine lovers will not complain. The schedules of the visits in French are available at the reception. Of course, tasting of red and white port at the end of the visit. The ruby port is fantastic. What will be your favorite?

A little outside Cascais on the way to Guia and Guicho, there is a curiosity not to be missed. This "mouth of hell" has amazed and terrified its visitors since ancient times. The ocean, with its often violent comings and goings, has dug into the rock, forming an arch or rather a stone jaw in which an infernal soup bubbles. Striking, even if the spectators are sometimes a little too many at the edge of the pot... If you go there one day in bad weather, you will then understand very well the name of this place.

This is certainly one of the best sightseeing experiences in Lisbon! On the programme: fun, laughter and adventure on board an amphibious bus. A hyper original exploration of the city: in addition to the streets, the bus also travels on the river! All this without leaving the comfort of his seat. Don't miss the spectacular diving in Belém! Splash! Dynamic, motivated and humorous, the visit, in addition to being full of emotions, teaches us things about Lisbon's neighbourhoods and the history of the city! A good time.

The beach of Sagres is the easiest to reach. Much less sheltered from the wind than the neighboring beach of Beliche, Tonel is a favorite spot for windsurfers. From the sand, you can see on the left the fortress of Henry the Navigator. The ochre-blond color of the cliffs and the clarity of the water contribute greatly to the beauty of the site. The access to the beach was dug naturally, thanks to water infiltrations. The regular fall of stones on the beach reminds us that erosion continues its work.

It is one of the most powerful lighthouses in Europe. Built in 1904, it has a light that can be seen at a distance of 90 km. Inside, its small museum, which can be visited in a maximum of 30 minutes, recalls the importance of the place. The lighthouse is surrounded by a fortress built in the 16th century to protect itself from the Moors' offensives. Legend has it that the walls were built over an ancient medieval convent, where the remains of Saint Vincent are believed to be.

Built in 1401, but never inhabited, the palace first surprises by its many rooms in rows, its chandeliers and its huge tapestries on the walls. Four copies of Pastrana are remarkable: those telling of the Portuguese conquests in North Africa, and those of Flemish origin executed by Rubens. On the roof of the building, strange very tall cylindrical red brick chimneys reflect the influence of the seigneurial architecture, unique in the Iberian Peninsula.

You will not forget to take the free monthly Braga Cultural with its Cultural Agenda.

On this square, in the heart of the city, there is a beautiful architectural complex that does not go unnoticed. The former Renaissance palace of King Sebastian dominates the scene. On the other side of Praça Infante Henrique, the small customs post is one of the few remains that shows that in the past the most important slave market in Europe was located here, as early as 1444. A museum is dedicated to the memory of the Mercado de Escravos. Jewellery, coins and skeletons discovered during work on a car park are presented in a very simple way

Instead, we should talk about the dungeon, because it is all that remains of this th century castle, which was used as a residence for the first duke of Bragança. Beautiful view across the region.
