Groupon’s Guide To Lisbon

A shining capital of colourful culture, Lisbon awaits guests with vast, vibrant squares, cobbled backstreets, and thriving bar and club scenes, while a patchwork of architectural styles make up the city’s historic buildings.

Lisbon’s Belem Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage monument that served over the centuries as a starting point for voyages and new land discoveries over the Atlantic. Its late Gothic Manueline style flanked by Moorish watchtowers and stone-sculpted beasts is seen by many as an architectural symbol of Portugal’s Age of Discovery. The Berardo Museum provides a home for some of the world’s most famous modern art pieces, including works by 20th century masters such as Pollock, Picasso, and Warhol. Adventure seekers may also choose a trip to Sintra-Cascais, where walking trails traverse the coastal forests of this natural park. Lisbon boasts one of Europe’s most pleasant climates, with hot summers and warm winters. While the spring season is a good period to visit the capital, summer is Portugal’s busiest tourist season. Enjoying agreeable temperatures, generally varying between the mid 20s and mid 30s, and with very low chances for rainfall, July and August may be the best time to visit Lisbon. Autumn is another good time for visitors, with very likable temperatures and sunny days. Although September sees just 25mm of rain on average, October and November are some of the wettest months of the year, setting the scene for the upcoming winter. Featuring a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate, winters in Lisbon are rainy. The city doesn’t receive too much unusual weather, but violent storms can occasionally roll in from the Atlantic Ocean.

Groupon’s Guide To Porto

Dating back to the 4th century and currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Porto, Portugal’s second largest metropolis, stands as one of Europe’s oldest cultural and historical sites.

An ancient port perched along the Duoro Valley, the city is a cornucopia of architectural landmarks, museums and medieval reminisces. Among the most important architectural legacies stand the Sao Francisco and Santa Clara Church, where a rare mixture of Gothic and Baroque styles, represented by detailed carvings and opulent decor covered in pure gold, attract thousands of tourists every year. Famed for being the spiritual home of Port Wine, the city has been one of the most important wine trading centres since the 17th century, maintaining its leading role among the finest wine producers in Europe up to this day. Travellers may also admire modern art galleries cleverly combined with shopping centres, spread across the vivid and colourful Bombarda street, where a bundle of design boutiques, stylists and vintage shops form a world of their own. Porto features a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate. With the spring season lasting from early March until the end of May, the weather is warm but a little unpredictable, with an average high of 18°C and with rainfall being quite frequent. Summer and autumn are the city’s busiest seasons. Winter, from December till February, is cool and wet. Rain falls on more than half of the days in each month and the sun only comes out for around four hours per day.
