Lisbon

Portugal is an excellent destination for a multi-generational trip. Its principal cities: Porto and Lisbon, are predominantly walking cities with plenty of history, classical architecture and unique local dishes. While Portugal may be best known for its soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, there is more to the nation than football. Discover the country’s obsession with tiling as well as its love for custard desserts and, of course, its Japanese influence. Both cities are a great option for a week-long holiday in western Europe.
