Into the book
This book cannot say, “Portugal is the best among the magnificent ruins and natural environments of other countries.”
But I want to let you know this.
“It’s attractive.
“The city, the people, even the time spent in Portugal becomes so fond of it.”
--- From "Prologue"
A pousada is a state-run hotel that was renovated from the castles or monasteries of former lords or the mansions of the wealthy.
With 35 locations across Portugal, poujadas are priced similarly to five-star hotels, but their unique cultural experiences ensure they are always fully booked, so it's best to book months in advance.
The castle's classic interior has been preserved while the facilities have been renovated to provide a modern experience, and there are also hotels decorated like resorts, perfect for relaxation.
--- From "MISSION 5: Portugal's Special Hotel Pousada"
Lisbon is an understatement to say it is the capital of Portugal.
There are no fancy or sophisticated buildings.
People open the doors of cafes on the barren Seven Hills, drink biscuits, clean sardines and joke around.
I get excited when I go to this ordinary city.
It is because there is an inexplicable attraction called atmosphere, as if it were a vague feeling of utopia.
--- From "Lisbon, an Eternal Dream Towards the Sea"
Just as Paris comes to mind in France and Prague in the Czech Republic when it comes to cities of romance, Porto comes to mind in Portugal.
The Douro River flows under the Dom Luis I Bridge, and a cruise ship passes over it.
The buildings of the Ribeira district, a World Heritage Site, are painted in faded pastel colors, creating a vintage atmosphere.
As the grapes ripen in the mountain region, the winery of Villa de Nova Gaia fills the empty oak barrels.
The bells of the Clérigos Tower, the highest point in the city, ring and birds soar above the orange roofs that resemble the sunset.
If only you were here, this would be the perfect Porto.
--- From "Porto, the Eternal Port at the Entrance of the Atlantic"
It is the oldest city and religious capital of Portugal.
The name Braga, an ancient Roman city, is derived from the name of the city at the time, Bracara Augusta.
From the 6th century onwards, it served as the capital of Catholicism in Southern Europe, ruled by an archbishop, a high-ranking Catholic priest.
There are over 70 cathedrals in Braga alone, and among them, the magnificent and beautiful Bom Jesus do Mont is a famous pilgrimage site.
--- From "Braga, the Continuing Tradition of a Religious City"
As soon as I get off at Coimbra station, I get tangled up with students.
The cheerfulness that youth brings is the face of this city.
In the morning, visit the university and witness their passion. In the afternoon, listen to the fresh laughter of freshmen at a café. In the evening, enjoy the Coimbra Fado performed by students from the University of Coimbra.

Publisher's Review
Mission in Portugal
Everything You Must Do in Portugal
Portugal, which still retains traces of the Age of Exploration, is a travel destination with a unique sensibility.
In particular, the pilgrimage to the holy site of Fatima, which attracts many pilgrims, and the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, which is listed as a World Heritage Site, and the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha, which are splendid and mysterious religious buildings, attract attention.
Another great way to enjoy the Portuguese sensibility is to feel sorrow and comfort while listening to the traditional music of fado, which began to be sung in memory of those who went on voyages during the Age of Exploration and never returned.
When it comes to travel, not just sightseeing, food is something you can't miss.
Introducing representative Portuguese food.
Portugal, with its high rice consumption, is full of foods that suit our taste buds.
Knowing the details of coffee, wine, and even Portuguese beer, cerveza, to go with your food will make your trip more enjoyable.
Enjoy Portugal
The perfect way to enjoy Portugal
This book introduces a variety of cities, including Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, Porto, full of medieval European charm, Braga, the oldest city and a place where you can feel medieval religion, Guimarães, the founding city of the country, Aveiro with its elegant canals, the cute striped town of Costa Nova, the historic university town of Coimbra, the world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site of Fatima, the resort town of Nazaré, Óbidos, the city of festivals and queens, and Lagos, a small paradise in the south.
Before introducing the spots by region, you can check the overall travel route through a detailed map, and check the transportation method, time, and fare between regions through the transportation method.
In particular, if you follow the recommended course, you are guaranteed a trip without failure.
The information on various tourist attractions in the book has been updated as of April 2025, and the author personally visited the places and rated them (1-3 stars) to help you choose your travel destination.
Please note that we have also added a 'Recommended' mark to restaurants and shopping spots.
More & More and Tips throughout the text contain additional explanations and useful information to enrich your trip.
Lisbon's Monument to the Discoveries is one of the most representative symbols of the Age of Exploration, and was built in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.
More & More introduces the people carved into the monument.
As you learn about each person's introduction and the meaning of the patterns engraved throughout the monument, you can even feel the fear and passion of the explorers who sailed the vast oceans during the Age of Exploration.
Porto's Dom Luis I Bridge is a local landmark.
What if there were a secret spot where you could leisurely admire this bridge, bustling with tourists? Only someone who knows Portugal well and has visited it can share this information, so don't miss the "More & More" and "Tips."
