Lisbon
The eighteenth-century elegance and charm of Lisbon wns over
the most cynical of travellers. SPV's account of the city
and its attractions includes a photo-illustrated guide, links,
maps, and a photogallery.
Oporto
Oporto or Porto is the second most important city in Portugal
(and gave the country its name). It is a likable place, not
immediately striking you with its beauty, but highly atmospheric,
with a marked personality. It had been running down for years
but benefited greatly from sharing the title of European Cultural
Capital with Rotterdam in 2001. Selected, annotated links.

Braga
Braga is a very old, charming, ecclesiastical city, in the
Minho, in the north of Portugal.
Braga
The municipal site is surprisingly hi-tech, and has thrown
itself heart and soul into the UEFA
Euro tournament to be held in Portugal, especially Braga,
in 2004. This aside, the site is excellent, offering information
on the city, its sights, museums and other attractions, nightlife,
restaurants, and accommodation. In short, everything you might
ask of a website except online booking.

One of Enric Corberó's very enjoyable virtual tours.
Bragança
This historic city in the north-east of Portugal is the capital
of the Trás-os-Montes region. This apart, the main
reason for visiting Bragança would be to see the Citadel,
the mediaeval walls above the town containing castle, keep
and village.
Bragança
The municipal site is unfortunately Portuguese-only: click
"Turismo" and "Monumentos" for the main
sights of the town.
Coimbra
The Portuguese equivalent of Oxford or Salamanca, its university
town par excellence, is also important as the centre of the
"other fado," different from the Lisbon variety,
and holds an interesting international music festival in July.
Coimbra
The Portuguese-only site of Coimbra City Council is very municipal,
but...
Coimbra
...this site, which seems to belong to the University of Coimbra,
is quite fine for information about the city, hotels and restaurants,
and has some great photos of Coimbra's sights, mysteriously
unaccompanied by any kind of explanation.
Evora
Evora is a lovely museum city, a world heritage site, not
far from the Spanish border.
Evora
Do not be taken in by that misleading "Welcome;"
the muncipal site is resolutely Portuguese-only (and so is
this portal,
which seems to belong to the council as well). It is a pity:
click "Itinerários Históricos" to
see some not very well explained but beautifully illustrated
historic routes.

city, created and maintained by one A. Miguel.
