It is designed to be all you will need to plan your trip to this region of Portugal and save you hours and hours of planning and stress. I have included numerous activities and places to visit within the city ranging from historical and architectural sites, museums, scenic viewpoints, as well as beaches and day trips from Lisbon. I have also included 15+ accomodation and eating out options at different price ranges. Most importantly, I have included information on travel safety, visas, entry requirements, local currency and how to get around. This way, you don't have to be too bothered by logistics and the more boring aspects of travel planning. I've got you covered! This guide is divided into sections so you can read the entire guide or go to the sections that interest you the most. It also includes an interactive map and it's mobile friendly so you can access all the info on your phone once you download the thatch app. And most importantly, this is a living guide, so I will update this at no extra cost for you! Happy travels!
