From north to south, Portugal is one of the most photogenic places in all of Europe. It’s also much more diverse from a photography perspective than one might realize. It’s definitely more than the never-ending photos of the Algarve that get shared on social media. Photographers thrive in Portugal.
Cities like Porto and Lisbon are full of photo opportunities. But, so are less popular urban settings like Lagos, Braga, Amarante and Coimbra. Then there are smaller towns like Óbidos and Mértola.
If your more of a landscape-lover, there’s plenty to love about Portugal as well. In the north you have the beauty of Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês. In the south, the stunning coast lines of The Algarve. And then the entire west coast is full of worthy landscape photo locations.
Of course, we haven’t even touched on places like Sintra and Aveiro!
There is just so much to see in Portugal, breaking itineraries down into tours is as much of a mission as the exploration itself.
