Portugal: Beyond Lisbon & Through the Ages

Join Jeanne Schnupp, the Savvy Sightseer for a video tour of Portugal.  Awash in World Heritage Sites, sun-bleached beaches, agricultural plains, sweeping river views and busy urban centers, cosmopolitan Portugal has a little something for every traveler. Mainland Europe’s westernmost country is packed full of opportunities to experience a culture and country of contradiction, where modern sophistication rubs elbows with historic traditions. Come along as we venture through the country’s central and northern regions. We’ll stop at Évora and unearth the secrets of cork production; pop into Porto – where the singular Port Wine is acclaimed; stop at Fátima, where peasant children gained world fame when they were visited by the Virgin Mary; cruise the Douro Valley with its stunning contrasts of fertile green terraced vineyards and vivid blue river; step back to medieval times at Óbidos and even to Tomar, for the striking Knights Templar complex – and that’s just to whet your appetite for more stops on this wide-reaching visit to Portugal!
