Autumn is the most beautiful season in Portugal. It is the time when the country says goodbye to the hustle and bustle of summer and returns to its former calmness. Portugal is like a fairy tale during this season, offering charming scenery that can take your breath away.

This ancient and mysterious country in the southwest of Europe is a vacation paradise for Europeans. Portugal's climate is warm and the sun is softer, more colorful, and more fragrant.

The food is delicious, and the prices are relatively lower than in other European countries. Compared to its neighbor, Spain, Portugal retains a pure and tranquil atmosphere that makes it an ideal travel destination.

Portugal is known for having the longest year-round sunshine in Europe, and it's even a sunny day in autumn. Many people start their trip to Portugal in Lisbon, which is a city that surprises visitors at every turn of the season.

Lisbon, also known as the romantic capital of the world, is the first port city of Portugal. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and has an excellent location with many natural and human attractions.

The city has a square grid layout, which maintains the style of old cities.

Porto is located at the mouth of the Douro River and has been a Celtic settlement since the 3rd century B.C. This ancient city has a natural landscape of mountains and seas, as well as a rich history and humanities.

Six kings of Portugal were born here, and it is also home to the country's first university. The ancient Douro River runs through the city, dividing it into the Old Town and the New Town, which are linked by the famous Louis Bridge. The entire Old Town and the surrounding wine-producing area are listed as "World Heritage Sites."

The Old Town is built on a hill on the north bank of the Douro River, with its red-roofed buildings, winding paths, magnificent and elegant palaces and churches, museums, paintings, and monuments, which are both spectacular and charming. It is like a water garden "floating" on the blue waves of the Douro River.

Not far from Lisbon, the forested hilltops of Sintra are home to some of Portugal's most luxurious palaces and castles. None is more spectacular than the magnificently decadent and colorful Palácio da Pena.

It is one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal, known for its sumptuous Romantic design, which combines Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance architectural styles. The castle was built in the 19th century for Ferdinand as a summer residence for the Portuguese royal family. However, it is still used for state use today.

All in all, Portugal is a country that offers a unique and diverse experience to its visitors. Autumn is the perfect time to visit, where you can enjoy the stunning landscapes, historical architecture, and charming atmosphere.

Whether you are exploring the vibrant city of Lisbon or the ancient town of Porto, you are sure to be captivated by the beauty and culture of Portugal.
