]]> When traveling, it can be fun to plan some activities that take you deeper into a country’s culture. Here are a few fun things to include on your next trip to Portugal. 

Fado Music 

The melodies of Fado, Portugal’s traditional music, open up the door to the Portuguese soul. Fado is melancholic and has very poetic tunes. The Portuguese people are very emotional and have a complex history. Their songs usually tell stories of love, loss, and longing. Many cities have Fado clubs where you can enjoy live performances with dinner or a glass of wine. 

Port Wine Tasting

No trip to Portugal is complete without a glass of Port wine. A fun activity can be planning a trip to the Douro Valley, where this iconic wine is produced. You can tour the wine cellars, learn about the winemaking process, and, of course, try the rich and complex flavors of Port wine.

Cooking Classes

The heart of any culture lies in its food, so why not try to make something yourself? There are classes all over the country where you can learn to make pastéis de nata (custard tarts) or cataplana (seafood stew). And of course, once you’re done cooking, enjoy the fruits of your labor.

]]> Lisbon, Portugal is a delight for the senses in so many ways. From the smell of traditional Portuguese cooking wafting through the streets to the panoramic views from the city’s many hills, you’ll never get tired of all this truly great city has to offer.

Lisbon’s real essence can be discovered in its many neighborhoods, which offer distinct views of what the city is. Looking to lose yourself in some of these places? Here are three neighborhoods to check out.

Alfama

Alfama is Lisbon’s oldest surviving neighborhood, having withstood the terrible earthquake of 1755 that destroyed much of the city. The steep hills, tiny alleys, and longing sounds of fado that you’ll hear in the air of this neighborhood, which dates back to Moorish rule of the city, are a delight.

Bairro Alto

Looking to have some fun during your time in Lisbon? Check out the Barrio Alto! Not only is it home to many of the city’s best restaurants and shops, but it also has spectacular views of the city. At night, it transforms into Lisbon’s party district, with hopping pubs and clubs full of locals and foreigners alike.

Belem

Located a few kilometers west of the city center is the picturesque neighborhood of Belem, located on the banks of the Tagus River. Must-see sights here include the Torre de Belem, the old greeting point for explorers returning from the New World, the Jeronimos Monastery, and Pasteis de Belem, the original home of the beloved pastel de nata pastry.
