Plan your next trip with the Karel 2.0 online planner - it's a breeze.
Destinations are at the heart of this blog. We’ve visited every place we write about ourselves we don’t copy anything from Wikipedia, and we don’t sugarcoat our experiences to make them sound like a “great vacation.” We write about what we saw, what went well, and what we’d do differently next time.
In this section, you’ll find guides to destinations from around the world Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. From major cities to national parks to coastal villages that haven’t yet been overrun by tourists. Each destination has its own section with tips on accommodations, transportation, food, and activities organized to save you time, not add to your worries.
Ad space: When planning our accommodations, we rely on Booking.com, we book guided tours through GetYourGuide, and we always compare flight prices on KAYAK. This isn’t an advertisement it’s just what we use ourselves.
Choose a continent, country, or city and start planning. Or just let yourself be inspired that’s a good place to start, too.
Portugal has a reputation as one of Europe’s top destinations, and rightly so. Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, the Azores, Madeira every part of the country is different, and each is worth a trip of its own. What to see in Portugal depends on how much time you have. We traveled around the country in a couple of weeks and still didn’t manage to see it all.
In this section, you’ll find a guide to Lisbon and its neighborhoods, tips on Porto and port wine, a guide to the Algarve off the beaten path, and itineraries for those who want to combine city life with nature. We cover transportation, food, accommodations, and why Portugal is the perfect destination for both a weekend getaway and a longer trip.
Ad space: Portugal is still affordable, even though prices in Lisbon are rising rapidly. We book accommodations through Booking.com, where you’ll find an excellent selection even in smaller coastal towns. For day trips to Sintra, Óbidos, or surfing lessons, we recommend GetYourGuide.
Lisbon, Porto, or the Algarve take your pick and start planning. Portugal is close by and absolutely worth the trip.
