A whirlwind visit to Belem, Lisbon, taking in the iconic tower, Age of Discoveries monument, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, and tasting the famous pastéis de nata.

Experience a night of Fado in Porto at Ideal Clube de Fado. Soulful solo performances, haunting melodies, and a glass of port make this intimate venue unforgettable.

We stopped in Vila Nova de Gaia for a port tasting at Burmester, one of the oldest and most respected port houses. After sampling a crisp white and a smooth tawny, I actually know what I’d order at a wine bar — and even bought a bottle to take home.
