Bacalhôa Buddha Eden Garden

Visitors feel transported to Asia upon entering the Bacalhôa Buddha Eden Garden. Set on more than 85 acres, the large, Asian-inspired garden in central Portugal boasts Buddha statues, sculptures and pagodas.

 

Comporta

Comporta is a beach town south of Lisbon. Its beaches are mostly known among locals for the low-key, relaxed vibe. Visit soon before more travelers discover Comporta.

 

Nazaré 

This fishing village is located less than a two-hour drive above Lisbon on the coast. Nazaré upholds long-time fishing traditions, down to traditional dress. The large, wild waves the Atlantic Ocean produces draw surfers from around the world.

 

Peneda-Gerês National Park 

Located in the northeastern part of the country near the border of Spain, the park boasts a diverse landscape with waterfalls and rugged mountain peaks. The park is the only national park in Portugal.
