So what are Portugal's Famous Tourist attractions? Portugal is made up of beautiful landscapes and scenery, you can view some of the most interesting and beautiful buildings and places. Seriously, you won't know how beautiful Portugal is until you read this article and view the photos of Portugal's Famous Tourist attractions.....
LagosThe spectacular combination of cliffs and white beaches in Lagos sells plenty of film and even more beer; the beach scene in this Algarve town is a party stop on the travel circuit, though it’s steadily pricing itself out of most people’s range. Renting a bike, moped or even a horse will make beach exploration all the more easier
Evora
This walled town has seemingly been dropped into a field of vineyards, olive trees and flowers. The cathedral and Roman temple provide popular focal pints, but the ossuary chapel, made from thousands of human skulls and bones, is too bizarre to miss.
The Rossio, Lisbon
The actual name of this plaza is Praca D. Pedro IV, but if you want to sound like a local (or just want to be able to pronounce it), go with "Rossio". With a new face-lift, the plaza looks better than ever, and it still acts as the heart of Lisbon
The ruins of St George’s Castle. Lisbon
Used to defeat the Moorish invaders, St George’s offers the classic panoramic overlook of Lisbon, with a great view of Santuario do Cristo Rei, the 34-metre replica of Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue, and the remains of a cathedral destroyed in the 1755 earthquake.
Hike Madeira
The volcanic island of Madeira is a little over 50km wide, but it has been providing shelter to transatlantic travelers since 1420, Mountain trails make for azure panoramas, while wild flowers and lush landscape take care of the rest
Test some port
With its low lighting, squidgy sofas and soft music, the Institute of Port Wine in Lisbon (a short tram-ride uphill from Praca dos Restauradores), is a great place to while away the hours with friends. A glass of the national snifter costs anywhere between €1 and €25 and goes best with Serra – a viscous cheese scooped up with crackers
Eat a meal to the sound of Fado
Fado is the traditional music of Portugal and in a Fado-themed restaurant; classic Portuguese food is served while guitar players and singers perform their lament.
Surf the Atlantic coast
Portugal’s waves aren’t in the same league as Hawaii’s, but there are enough breakers around the country to keep most beginner and intermediate surfers happy. Peniche, just outside of Lisbon, is one of the top spots. Surfing’s also popular in Lagos and Sagres on the Algarve, and Sines, just between Lisbon and Algarves.
Pick up a bargain at the Alfama market Lisbon
Originally named Fiera da Ladra, or "Thief’s Market", Alfama market has been selling tschoskes to bargain hunters for over hundred of years. Hand-painted pottery and lace are among the most popular items, but you can find loads of deals on rugs, glassware, jewelery, books, old sailing gear and art. Sat and Tues 5am-1pm
See the fish get tanked
When Lisbon hosted the World Expo in 1998, this modern aquarium served as a centre piece. Located, appropriately enough, right next to the harbor, the Oceanario de Lisboa offers environmental sound-spaces and interactive media, in addition to a vibrant array of sea life.
