Rainy Day Sintra: A Family Survival Plan That Works
There are fossilised dinosaur trackways on the southern cliff at Praia Grande, and nothing sells a rainy day to a child faster. Between warm travesseiros at Piriquita, Regaleira's underground tunnels and the furious Atlantic at Adraga, rain is when Sintra works best for families.

Évora and Cork Country: A Summer Road Trip
At two in the afternoon in August, the coolest place in the Alentejo is under a cork oak. A road trip from Évora that treats the montado as a destination rather than roadside scenery: reversed hours, gaspacho instead of migas, and Monsaraz after six.

Cascais on the Cheap: A Five-Euro Day Out
Everyone assumes Cascais is expensive, so everyone ends up paying 14 euros for mediocre bacalhau on a bay-front terrace. There is another way: the 500-metre rule, a lighthouse museum that costs almost nothing, and the free clifftop walk to Boca do Inferno that beats anything you can buy. A full day for less than lunch in Chiado.

Belmonte by Train: 48 Hours Without a Car
The station is called Belmonte-Manteigas, but Manteigas is thirty kilometres away on the far side of the mountain. Once you get past that, this is the easiest of Portugal's Historic Villages to do carless: castle, Jewish museum and a Roman tower nobody can explain, all in 48 hours.

Fundão in August: The Beaches the Algarve Can't Offer
Everyone points south to the Algarve in August and pays triple for the privilege. The smart move is inland: Fundão's river beaches offer cold mountain water, plane-tree shade, and a sailboat sunset on the Marateca Dam the coast never delivers.

Viseu: Skip Rossio, the Manueline Hides on Rua Direita
There isn't a single armillary sphere on Praça do Rossio in Viseu, and that's exactly where most visitors go wrong. The real Manueline work, carved rope and all, is waiting ten minutes uphill, set into the windows of private houses on Rua Direita.
