Useful tips

For a shorter version of the itinerary, consider skipping Alentejo and the Algarve region to spend more time in Lisbon and Oporto. Additionally, it's worth visiting the Pena Palace in Sintra or the Costa Nova Beach in Aveiro, depending on your interests. If you have more time, extend your trip to Portugal's islands of Madeira or Azores.
