Attractions: Sightseeing in Portugal is a privilege and joy to those who've
sampled the country's warm climate, charming ports and friendly
people. Portugal's prodigious sailors have historically chartered course
for every foreign shore on the planet, but today the country has an
altogether new focus Â? drawing the world to her shores. Marketing
itself as 'Europe's West Coast', everything from the hot springs of
the Azore Islands to hiking and sailing in Madeira and the cultural
sights of Lisbon have been revamped and are being served in true
style to tourists from every corner of the globe. Portugal is the
7th most peaceful nation in the world according to the Global Peace
Index, making its many marvellous sights safe to explore and
conquer. Portugal is known for its seafaring history and continued legacy
as a coastal paradise. Jet skiing, diving, swimming, sailing, you
name it and they cater for it. The Estoril Coast is a set of
pristine blue-flag beaches ready for your worn feet. While the sea
will always be Portugal's first love, the country does boast the
Sintra-Casais Natural Park, a World Heritage Site and the capital
of Lisbon is as cosmopolitan and metropolitan city to rival the
likes of Madrid and Paris.
