Portugal Lonely Planet Guide

The Portugal Lonely Planet Guide is their most comprehensive guide that extensively covers all the country has to offer, with recommendations for both popular and lesser-known experiences.

Portugal is a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of its culture: salt cod and grilled sardines are national dishes, the Algarve’s beaches are a major destination and much of the nation’s architecture dates to the 1500s–1800s, when Portugal had a powerful maritime empire.
