I'm Portuguese, great you liked it. Here's my suggestion for a 15 day trip ( i mean, less than that you're missing out !! ) Start in Porto first and go to Gerês national park. From there, its southbound all the way, to avoid wasting time in unnecessary trips. Visit Aveiro ( the Venice of Portugal ) , Coimbra, Nazaré ( the big wave spot) Óbidos, São Martinho do Porto and then the three spot turist trip: Lisboa, Sintra, Cascais. Setúbal should be next with its Arrábida beaches ( amazing ) then in the southern Algarve go to Portimão, Vilamoura, Albufeira, Lagos and Tavira. Got all that? 😎 This is just plan A. We here are so blessed i can also give you added plans with so much more for the whole alphabet! 🤣🤣🤣 All the best, felicidades!!

I very much appreciate your presentation here in this video. No umms or pauses or filler, just the facts. You did not waste the viewers time and impart a lot of info, plus you are a good presenter with gestures and lots of energy. Well done. Thank You.

I have visited several countries, and I can assure you that Portuguese people are the most hospitable, pleasant, and inviting people I have ever met. utmost admiration for this nation and its lovely, loving locations.

2 years I was in Portugal, best trip in my life !!!! ❤

I moved here a year ago without ever been there. What I notice most and what you repeated several times was the friendliness and kindness of the people. Madeira is definitely a hidden gem🤫!!

The best Portugal guide video I’ve seen. Thank you for such a great job!

Absolutely love how you fllood us with relevant informative info within just 12 mins. Thanks!

Coming back here after so long, im pleased to see people so interested in my country 😀 So after the blockbuster success of plan A, here's my plan B, for winter and north/ centre this time. Again start in Porto, and this time go north to Viana do Castelo ( great views from the Santa Luzia church), cozy Ponte de Lima ( the first roman settlement in Portugal ) Braga and Guimaraes ( make sure to visit the old centre and the castle ). From there, stop by Amarante, a charming medieval town with beautiful roman stone bridge. Then Viseu, voted several times the best city in the country to live. Next up, Estrela mountain range, this is a must with gorgeous landscapes that will make you feel like you're in game of thrones country. Then you can go to small "stone age" village of Monsanto ( where house of the dragon was filmed ) or Piódão, a remote but stunning settlement up in the mountains ( get ready for a rough trip there, but its worth it ). A bit south there's the city of Tomar, one of the knights templar safe havens and visit Christ convent there, very historical. For a 2 week vacation, there's a lot packed in there! Maybe later I'll do a plan C, or a Portugal: Islands edition for you guys. I hope im not so elderly before i get to plan Z!!!!

Welcome to Portugal.....the best contry in Europe,

I am currently planning to go to Portugal. I will not have as much time as you did to enjoy all those attractions, however I think I can hit madera. I want my trip to be a mix of adventure as well as relaxation. I will try to enjoy lisbon, madera, and rent a car and do a one and half day trip up the coast. I have learned that you can't hit every single spot on a trip. Your video was so helpful to me, you are a superstar video blogger.

we the Portuguese knew what kind of country we had and thank God it took so many years to be discovered by the world ,because from now on it will go downhill because of the large amount of tourists,even the food is getting worst and more expensive,glad you enjoy it.

Not only did you fly out from the same airport but this was so beneficial for my upcoming trip!

Great video! Planning a trip to Portugal and this is the first video I've watched. The perfect video to cover which parts of the country to see and what to do.

I can see you were so excited talking about Portugal. I will use your guides for my trip in June 😊. Thank you!!

You did a great job outlining your itinerary and you provided so many great tips. Trip planning can be so time consuming and overwhelming and you highlighted some great ideas. Your video will serve as a starting point for my trip with both of my daughters. Thanks!

Your video style is incredible! this is so helpful and could listen to you talk for hours about different places. Thanks

Portugal is one country I would love to visit! I have a couple friends who live in the Algarve which I haven't seen since 2019 when I saw them in Bali. I don't see me going there this year, but there's always 2023! Thank you for the tips, and awesome video!

Thank you , we are trying to plan a trip there . We are not travelers but you made it really simple . Hopefully we can make it happen .❤

Awesome…we really enjoyed watching and you are smiling throughout the entire time. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I am planning to have vacation in Portugal on April 2024. I can't wait

Decent basic tips for Portugal, very touristic but can do. One mistake they done imo was flying to Madeira. Either fly and stay there for whole duration or focus on continental Portugal, otherwise it's a waste of time for fllight and airport stuff.

Come back again, so many too see, Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, Coimbra, Évora, and the other part of Algarve so diferent of the West

Fun fact: Spanish and Portuguese are from the same language family 'Romance languages'. The other Romance languages are French, Italian, and Romanian.😊😊❤️❤️

Wow I'm so happy to find youtube from VA and DMV area 😊. I will use this guide for my trip next June.

Thank you! Really good and short guidance for a trip to Portugal

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for. Very useful!!!

Informative.... Lovely from INDIA ❤️👍

Just had to say you did a great job with this video. Great approach. Loved the pace and energy. Good information. Very well done. Cheers

Such a great video with some brilliant advice. Thank you so much for sharing these tips and your experiences. You managed to pack so much into your short stay! We totally agree that Portugal is an amazing country to visit... we came for a few months and have been here for almost 2 years 🇵🇹❤ ~ Mandy

Liked and subscribed as soon as I watched your vlog. One word you are Super with this informative video. Cheers 👍

Nice work on this video. Your enthusiasm makes me want to go. I only got this in my video recommend list as I have been looking at areas to buy over there.

The way your eyes light up when you talk about it make me want to go. I’m old lol not sure I can do all the walking and climbing.

Just an awesome country.

so glad I watched your video before heading there! thank you! i thought it would be hot and was just planning on shorts, summer dresses, and linen pants. sounds like i should scrap the shorts and dresses and opt instead for jeans and linens pants and a jacket for lisbon and porto. but we'll also be in the algarve, where it sounds like it'll be hot. Having a hard time thinking through how to fit everything into carry-on rolly luggage (since it seems that I need to pack for both cool and windy and hot).

I’m going to Lisboa in August 😊

Thank you for this video. You make it seem very possible to cross this off my bucket list

Very nice video. I'm heading to Lisbon for 30 days starting January 15th. This video gave me some options for short getaways outside of Lisbon.

Love this, thanks for sharing your experiences!

Thank you so much for this enthusiastic and informative video. I was considering Portugal among my options but after watching my video I'm definitely going! Thank you!

thanks, i used your video to make one homework and i got a 10 🎉🎉

Portuguese wine, cheese, fish, and pastries they hard to beat !

Charmingly done video ❤ !

Wow beautiful place...I really want to visit this place someday. Thank you for sharing this great video. Greetings from your new friend in Milan ❤

i enjoy your videos! you have great talent!

👏👏👏 Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

Wow you have made me want to plan a trip to Portugal

No plan!!! Just came to Porto!!!!! Safe and relax city!!!!

A very nice presentation of life in Portugal. Keep doing what you do. The journey continues, my friend. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮 ⛄

Nice, love to know more!

Planning a trip to portugal soon. Thanks for the tips.

Excellent presentation, tysm!

Thank you for such an incredible video!You're lovely🥰

Thank you, you have made my planning for this summer very easy!

Great info! Can’t wait to check out some of these places!

Fantastic video! Just what I needed to see! Going to take a trip myself in January as my partner will be working in Lagos for a week or so. So my idea is to go myself from Sweden down to Maderia some night. Then on to Lisbon & further down & meet her. Maybe a little lonely, but from what you've heard about the population & all the sights, I guess I won't feel alone 😁

Thanks for this informative video!! We’re about to plan a trip to Portugal and this definitely helps :)

Great video! Thank you for posting

Great video! I'm portuguese and... acho que ficou de fora muitos espaços mesmo em tao curto espaço de tempo. Madeira e Açores devem ser visitados, sim, mas merecem, pelo menos, 4 a 7 dias de estadia cada. Com 10 dias, o melhor seria começar no Porto, fazer um cruzeiro das pontes no rio Douro e visitar as caves de vinho do Porto. Subir até ao Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês e ir descendo Portugal até ao Algarve, passando por Vila Real, Guarda, Évora. Aproveitar para conhecer o Algarve e subir até Lisboa.

Lovely Video as it resonates with our recent trip in Oct 2022

Thank you Mahna for this video ! I enjoyed all the information you shared.

Thank you for your helpful tips! I am heading to Portugal next week.

Thanks a lot of great info and options.

Funny and informative, loved it!

When people describe Madeira as the Hawaii of Europe they totally miss out on the fact that Hawaii has got breathtaking beaches and Madeira hasn't got any at all. The beaches are all sub-standard and even saying that, would be an understatement. Other than the beaches the island is gorgeous but when going on vacation in a sunny place, having good beaches is vital

Thank you for this video

Great information!! Can’t wait to go super soon 😊

Planning to go in March. I want to do everything step by step that you and mom did! LOL

Wow it’s a great video with a lot info 👍🏻

Thanks for the video! The wife and i were just talking about doing a trip there soon so much needed info! And btw, you are gorgeous!

Just found your channel… This is awesome. Thanks for sharing all of this information. I’m planning a trip next year to Portugal.🙂

Just booked a trip to Portugal!! This guide was so helpful thank u !!!

Great Video!!

Very beautiful, thank you so much for sharing

I live here and I literally learned to drive a manual car so that I could rent for $1.50 a day instead of $25 a day and we’ve been renting for a year and a half because it’s so cheap. Very proud of myself.😂

great presentation!

Love your enthusiasm. You packed a lot of good information and ideas into this. Thanks!!

Thanks for the video!

Yes it's Hawaii of Africa 🌍😊

Great info, thank you 😊

ಪೋರ್ಚುಗಲ್ ದೇಶದ ಸುಂದರ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿ ತಾಣಗಳು.

Very nicely presented :)

Thanks for the video Mahna. Planning on a Portugal Vacation this summer. We'll be leaving from Dulles also since we're just across the river from Lessburg. Which airline did you go with? Thanks for the travel tips.

Great tips, thanks

VA in the house

I just came back from a 7 day vacation from Portugal and I felt like I came 358 days short.

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing. Would you please tell me what camera you are using to film?

Cld you please do an outfit guide with some links. Your clothes look both feminine, comfortable, and functional

Great info.. not sure how you were able to fit Madeira, azores and mainland in 10 days? How was driving experience? More specifically how was the parking situation?

Thank you Mahna, very nice vlog -very informative and enough details. How many days and nights did you stay in Madeira. Im going there this April. Thank u in advance 🙏🏼

Thanks. CARE on.

Thanks to introduce Madeira to us, it will definitely on our bucket list now. But we also don’t want to miss Lisbon and Algarves, I guess 2 weeks are neede lol😅

I would say 10 days is ok to visit 1 region of the country. Because it's a very compact country. Distances are small, and so each region is also smaller, but very distinct ones. You mentioned Madeira, Lisbon, Algarve. Madeira alone would recquire a full week to visit. But the interesting part is to really notice the differences between regions and the symbiosis between cities, landscape, natural and manmade structures. - Why Porto is like that for instance? Otherwise you may fall into a patern of visiting a city as if like visiting any other place in the world, they all have the same stuff, especially in the developed countries.

I LO❤E PORTUGAL 🥰😘

Great video! 🔥

Thank you!

can you share how many days you spent in each place in your 10 day itenary?

Very informative. thanks...

I really enjoyed your video after watching so many other videos about Portugal. My wife and I plan to visit in the middle of May from NY and we want to do Lisbon, Algarve coast and Porto. Did you book all your accommodation before or during your trip? Were all the beaches you visited parking friendly? Lastly, what are the driving times from Lisbon to Algarve Coast, Algarve Coast to Porto and then Porto back to Lisbon airport? Thanks

Dont forget to go to Obidos!

Thank you so much for this.. I’m going with my friend next year and this was helpful. I also aside from English speak fluent Spanish so I was glad to know that at least I can get by.😅 One question how far was it to drive from Lisbon to the Algarve host. Because we’re renting a car too and I just wanted to get a sense of how long.
