Top 13 Attractions in Portugal
Top 13 Attractions in Portugal according to Lonely Planet
13. Living Like Royals
12. Castelo de Vide
11. Magnificent Megaliths
10. Parque Natural da Ria Formosa
Parque Natural da Ria Formosa is a nesting ground and as a stopping point in migrating routes: Flamingos, Milherango, Storks and so on. Spend some time in close contact with the nature, the wonderful world of the birds in its more natural state, and let yourself be fascinated for the enchantment of its sounds, its forms and its colors.
9. Tavira Island
Tavira Island lies south of the town of Tavira, just a few hundred metres off the coast. It is 11 kilometres long and varies between 150 m to 1 km in width. The island has 11 km of the best beaches in the Algarve, including areas where naturism can be legally practised. It is popular among tourists, people that like to swim and bird watchers.
8. Fado
Fado is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a characteristic sentiment of resignation, fatefulness and melancholia. However, although the origins are difficult to trace, today fado is regarded, by many, as simply a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain structure.
7. Sipping the Douro
The exquisite Alto Douro wine country is the oldest demarcated wine region on earth. Its steeply terraced hills, stitched together with craggy vines that have produced luscious wines for centuries, loom on both sides of the sinuous Rio Douro. Whether you get here by driving the impossibly scenic back roads, or catch a train or boat from Porto, take the time to hike, cruise and taste.
6. The Cliffs of Cabo de São Vicente
This cape is the southwesternmost point in Portugal. Approximately six kilometers from the village of Sagres, the cape is a landmark for a ship traveling to or from the Mediterranean. The cape is a site of exuberant marine life and a high concentration of birds nesting on the cliffs, such as the rare Bonelli's eagle, peregrine falcons, kites, rock thrushes, rock pigeons, storks and herons.
5. Historic Évora
Due to its well-preserved old town centre, still partially enclosed by medieval walls, and a large number of monuments dating from various historical periods, including a Roman Temple, Évora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Évora is ranked number two in the Portuguese most livable cities survey of living conditions published yearly by Expresso.
4. Porto
The city was built along the hills overlooking the Douro river estuary, and its historical center was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1996. It has been continuously inhabited since at least the 4th Century, when the Romans referred to it as Portus Calle. Porto has a semi-Mediterranean climate, although it's strongly affected by the Atlantic ocean, which makes it's cooler than other cities with this climate.
3. Sintra
Less than an hour by train from the capital, Sintra feels like another world. Like a page torn from a fairytale, Sintra is a quaint village sprinkled with stone-walled taverns and with a whitewashed palace looming over town. Forested hillsides form the backdrop to the storybook, with imposing castles, mystical gardens, strange mansions and centuries-old monasteries hidden among the woodlands
2. Nightlife in the Bairro Alto
Lisbon is known for its lively nightlife. For going out, stroll around the old neighborhood of Bairro Alto for an after-dinner caipirinha or ginjinha and people-watching. Its small streets, full of people, are packed with a high variety of bars. On weeknights bars close at 2AM, weekends at 3AM. The party continues in a night-club after that. Just follow the hordes of people down the hill - people have been doing that for hundreds of years.
1. The Alfama
Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tejo river. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning hot fountains or baths. It includes the freguesias (parishes) of São Miguel, Santo Estêvão, São Vicente de Fora and part of two streets of Freguesia da Sé: Rua do Barão and Rua São João da Praça. It contains many important historical attractions, with many Fado bars and restaurants.

Conheça o Maranhão - Pontos Turísticos
O Maranhão é uma das 27 unidades federativas do Brasil. O estado se localiza no extremo noroeste da Região Nordeste. Limita-se com três estados brasileiros: Piauí (leste), Tocantins (sul e sudoeste) e Pará (oeste), além do Oceano Atlântico (norte). Com área de 331 937,450 km², possui 217 municípios, sendo o segundo maior estado da Região Nordeste do Brasil e o oitavo maior estado do Brasil. O estado possui uma população de 7.000.229 habitantes. A capital e cidade mais populosa do Maranhão é São Luís. Outros municípios com população superior a 100 (cem) mil habitantes são: Imperatriz, São José de Ribamar, Timon, Caxias, Codó, Paço do Lumiar, Açailândia e Bacabal. Em termos de produto interno bruto, é o quarto estado no ranking da Região Nordeste do Brasil e o 17º no Brasil. As principais atividades econômicas são: a indústria (o trabalho de transformar alumínio e alumina, celulose, alimentícia, madeireira), os serviços, o extrativismo vegetal (babaçu), a agricultura (soja, mandioca, arroz, milho) e a pecuária.
Localizado entre as regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil, o Maranhão possui o segundo maior litoral do país, resultando em uma grande diversidade de ecossistemas. São 640 quilômetros de extensão de praias tropicais, floresta amazônica, diversas variedades de cerrados, mangues, delta em mar aberto e o único deserto do mundo com milhares de lagoas de águas cristalinas. Também é perceptível, na maior parte do ano(entre os meses de maio a novembro), a seca branda na Microrregião das Chapadas do Alto Itapecuru, acentuadamente em São João dos Patos e Barão de Grajaú. Essa diversidade está organizada em cinco polos turísticos, cada um com seus atrativos naturais, culturais e arquitetônicos. São eles: o polo turístico de São Luís, o Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses, o Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas, o Delta do Parnaíba e o polo da Floresta dos Guarás. Com redução de altitudes e regularidade da topografia, é apresentado um relevo modesto, superior a 90% da superfície inferior a 300 metros. Tocantins, Gurupi, Pindaré, Mearim, Parnaíba, Turiaçu e Itapecuru são os rios mais importantes. Eles pertencem às bacias hidrográficas do Parnaíba, do Atlântico Nordeste Ocidental e do Tocantins-Araguaia.
História
O Rei de Portugal Dom João III dividiu a região do Maranhão em duas capitanias hereditárias, que o monarca entregou a Aires da Cunha e Fernando Álvares de Andrade, no ano de 1535 (região descrita como grande baía com uma ilha). A partir de então, até os franceses se estabelecerem em 1612 (França Equinocial), o conhecimento da área não foi tomado por Portugal. Em 1615, no contexto da Conquista do Nordeste e Conquista da Amazônia (período de combate as forças estrangeiras que estabeleceram fortificações na região), uma expedição com portugueses e brasileiros partiu da Capitania de Pernambuco, sob ordem do Governador Geral da Armada e Conquista do Maranhão Alexandre de Moura e liderança de Jerônimo de Albuquerque, visando expulsar os franceses e consolidar o domínio português. Como recompensa pelo êxito na empreitada, o General nomeou Jerônimo de Albuquerque Capitão-Mor da Conquista do Maranhão e, em 1621, foi instituído o Estado do Maranhão, por Filipe II de Portugal (e Filipe III da Espanha) no Norte do América Portuguesa, porém instalado em 1626 devido aos conflitos com os holandeses. Sendo o novo Estado uma colônia independente e autônoma do Estado do Brasil, a criação da Capitania do Maranhão ocorreu em paralelo à fundação do Estado do Maranhão, ficando a Capitania subordinação ao Estado.
Em 1641, os holandeses ocupam a ilha de São Luís, de onde foram expulsos pelos portugueses em 1644 consolidado o domínio português. Em 1654, foi criado o Estado do Maranhão e Grão-Pará, devido ao progresso e ascensão da região de Belém. A Coroa Portuguesa verificou que tal organização administrativa favorecia apenas aos interesses pessoais de donatários e sesmeiros. Em 1774, o Estado foi dividido em duas unidades administrativas por Marquês de Pombal: o Estado do Maranhão e Piauí e Estado do Grão-Pará e Rio Negro. O Maranhão apenas foi conquistado pelo Império do Brasil em 1823, porque Portugal o defendeu muito fortemente, e somente depois que o almirante Lord Cochrane interveio, a pedido de Dom Pedro I. Em 1831, foi irrompida a Setembrada, que pregou que fossem expulsos os portugueses e os frades franciscanos, e, em 1838, a Balaiada, um movimento popular que contrariava a aristocracia rural. A economia declinou devido ao fato de que a Princesa Isabel aboliu a escravidão, só vindo à recuperação na época da 1ª Guerra Mundial.
