The Castelo de São Jorge stands majestically above Lisbon and is one of the finest tourist attractions in the city✨🧡
The castle is entwined in Lisbon’s early history. It saw the fall of the Romans to the Visigoths, experienced the fierce conflicts between the Arabs and Christians, survived formidable sieges by the Castilians and witnessed the birth of Portugal as a seafaring nation. This varied and turbulent history is reflected throughout the castle. There are heavily fortified battlements, medieval royal quarters and seaward views, which inspired exploration within Portuguese kings👑
For visitors, the Castelo de São Jorge is a fascinating tourist attraction, and this is in part due to a major restoration performed in the 1940s. This project completely rebuilt the ramparts, embellished the watchtowers, and added tranquil gardens within the courtyards. The restoration may not be historically accurate, but it certainly enhances the visitor experience and provides you with a lot to discover within the complex🥰☀️

Praça do Comércio is one of the most beautiful squares in all Europe, opening southwards onto the huge Tagus estuary✨
Until the era of mass aviation, this was Lisbon´s great reception hall for visitors arriving by sea even better able to enjoy its beauty from their vantage points on slowly docking vessels. It was at the dock here that the Kings and Heads of State would disembark when visiting Portugal👑
Prior to the 1755 earthquake, it was called the Terreiro do Paço (Royal Yard). The Royal Palace had been sited on the western side of the square since the 16th century when king Manuel transferred the court down from the Castle of São Jorge (St. George)🤴⭐️
In 1580, Filipe I of Portugal ordered the building of a new square with the work the responsibility of Filippo Terzi and Juan Herrera.
Everything was destroyed by the earthquake. The name Praça do Comércio (Commercial Square) belongs to the Pombal era and represents the new social order that the minister to king José I wanted to favour and promote: the trading, financial and bourgeois classes that had contributed so much to rebuilding the city🌇
In the geometric centre of the Square, and facing the river, there is a statue of José I, mounted on his horse Gentil, the work of sculptor Machado de Castro🤎

Braga, located in North Portugal, is regarded as the religious centre of the country and is a fascinating city that combines a proud history with outstanding tourist attractions. 📸
👇🏻Here are three facts about Braga you didn't probably know:
🌟 It was the capital of a Roman Empire’s province: The location where Braga is today was turned into a city in 16 b.C. by Romans, who gave it the name of Bracara Augusta. Later, it became the capital of an extensive province that includes all the Northwest of the Peninsula. 🏙️
🌟 Braga is the oldest city in Portugal, and probably, one of the oldest in the world. It has been a city for over 2 thousand years and, throughout so many centuries, it was a part of very important facts to Portuguese History and even European. ☀️
🌟 It has one of the best universities of the country: In 1973, the University of Minho, was founded one of the best “new Portuguese universities”. 🏫

The picturesque little town of Pinhão in the heart of Douro's port and wine-producing area is well worth visiting, as a day trip from Porto or as part of a road trip throughout the region. The wine town of Pinhão is surrounded by vineyards that produce the world’s best Port wine, as well as Douro table wines. Located about 20 kilometers upriver from Regua, the town holds one of the most iconic train stations filled with traditional azulejo tiles✨💙
The road between Peso de Regua to Pinhão has been proclaimed as the best drive in the world. A "Daily Mail" article acclaimed the N222 as having "17 miles, 93 bends and breathtaking views of the Douro Valley". The train journey here too has been heralded as one of the most picturesque in the world. Both routes follow the course of the river as it winds its way through the terrace cut hills⛰️🚞
From tasting some of the best wine in the world to boat tours along the gorgeous Douro river, Pinhão offers a unique experience. Featuring outstanding hotels with poolside views of the hillside vineyards and unforgettable cuisine🍇🍷

Parque das Virtudes was projected by José Marques Loureiro (1830-1898), it was bought in 1965 by the City Council of Porto and, in 1998, restoration works were carried out✨
One of the particularities of this garden is the fact of being vertical, in other words, it stretches out on the steep slope terraces, and therefore, from almost every part of it, there is a unique view over the Alfândega (Customs Building), the river Douro and Vila Nova de Gaia😍
Parque das Virtudes is the perfect place to end the day enjoying a fabulous sunset over the Douro River🌅
