Exploring Portugal

Portugal is a small country and there are fast road and train
links between the country’s four great cities: Lisbon, Coimbra,
Oporto, and Faro. Many of the most famous sights, such as
the royal palaces at Sintra and the monastery of Alcobaça,
make a good day’s outing from Lisbon. In the south, the great
attractions are the sandy beaches of the Algarve. Arriving
from the north is quite easy on the Lisbon-Algarve motorway,
but most visitors fly direct to Faro airport and once there,
traveling between the various resorts is no problem.
