AT#892 - Travel to Central Portugal

Hear about travel to Central Portugal as the Amateur Traveler talks to Stephanie Lambert from eurotravelsbydesign.com about this too often overlooked region. Why should you go to Central Portugal? Stephanie says, "It's safe, it's beautiful, it's a culturally rich history. I feel like it's been underrated for some years. It's getting more popular now, but it's been overshadowed by Spain for a while, and I think, it deserves just as much love. It has gorgeous architecture, Fascinating history, breathtaking landscapes, warm and inviting people. I think the pastéis de nata are a reason to go, enough on their own. They're so delicious." Based on Stephanie's detailed and passionate recount of her family's journey through Central Portugal, here's a suggested itinerary to explore this enchanting region, drawing from the highlights and personal experiences she shared: Day 1-4: Coimbra Day 1: Explore Coimbra Start with a visit to the University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its Baroque library and the unique presence of bats that protect the books. Don't miss the São Miguel Chapel within the university, adorned with blue and white tiles and gold leaf. Spend some time at the Botanical Gardens for a peaceful retreat. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-central-portugal/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
