Answer 1

It depends on what you want to do. Lisbon has everything you might want in terms of cultural offer, good restaurants, a large choice of hotels/hostels, and I can assure you: you will never be bored. Also, you are 1 hour away from the beach.

If you want a more relaxing vacation, I'd recommend anywhere in the more secluded areas of Algarve. The coastline has a lot of interesting places, but they will be absolutely crowded in the summer.

Answer 2

Lisboa, Lagos, Vila Nova de Mil Fontes, Minho.

Answer 3

Absolutely LOVED Sintra, Portugal which is this little town not too far from Lisbon.  It's like a fairytale town, seriously.  Lisbon itself is pretty cool, too!

Answer 4

do some research online (visitportugal.com) and all the places recommended above are excellent. you can also ask your parents about your culture and for some ideas

Answer 5

We recently stayed in a village called Guia, (early June) it is 10 minutes from Albuferia and an unspoilt Portugese village.

No English bars but quite a few restaurants where the main dishes are fish or Piri Piri Chicken. There is a central bar at the Guia football club which is very popular.

There are several restaurants supplying good quality food, especially the Atlantico, frequently attented by Sir Cliff Richards who also owns a vineyard close by. There is also a Dutch bar within the village which is also very friendly, Ronny and Ellens.

We stayed at a friends villa situated at the top of the village. If it is possible we will be going back in September.

We used an airport transfer service as we did not want to hire a car, there is a local beach called Gale which is lovely and clean and has three bars and  good quality sun beds and essential parasols.

If you want any further info please contact me.
