Tourism in Portugal

Although the city started as a hill fort, it was during Roman times that Viseu confirmed its importance. 

Center of Portugal is the ideal place to travel with kids! From a miniature Portugal at Portugal dos Pequenitos, in Coimbra, to the real scale dinosaurs of Dino Parque Lourinhã, near Peniche, there's a magical world to unveil by both grown-ups and children. Toy museums, live science centres, fascinating caves, biological parks. Center of Portugal at the heart of pure amusement! Because playing is a very serious matter indeed. 

The snail procession held every year in September in the tiny village Reguengo do Fetal, near Batalha, is a timeless tradition that has crossed the centuries and, certainly, one of the most eye-catching religious processions in Portugal. An incredible tapestry of lit snail shells leading the ways of the faith!

Nazaré is the finest example of the relentless power of Mother Nature. The giant wave surfed by Hawaiian surfer Garret McNamara on November 1st 2011 has changed the fate of this charming fishing town. Nowadays, the whole economy of Nazaré evolves around surf and the big waves. But why are the waves so incredibly big in Nazaré?
