About the Destinations:
Lisbon
Strolling along the capital city´s mosaic sidewalks, you'll likely hear beautiful fado music echoing from tiny tavern patios, see colorful clotheslines strung between open windows, and smell the delicious mix of herbs and garlic wafting through the air from al fresco restaurants in the Alfama quarter or Bairro Alto. And if you appreciate old-world architecture, be sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.
Sintra
Historically known as being the illustrious home to Portugal’s most storied monarchs, the town of Sintra is not only historically relevant, but aesthetically speaking, it is a true marvel of magnificence and romantic beauty.
