This is a beautiful visit... Just a little outside the main tourist destinations rest a museum central to Portuguese expression, the National Tile Museum. The museum recounts the importance of azulejos (pronounced AH-zoo-lay-zho) in Portugal. Azulejos can be traced back to their introduction during the 15th century, incorporating past influences of the Moors, who brought the technique from North Africa. (Decorative tiles themselves go back much farther, making an appearance at least as early as almost 5000 years ago in Egypt.) Over time, Portuguese artisans developed their own styles, incorporating local motifs, religious themes, and historical events into the designs. Azulejos became a means of storytelling, capturing significant moments in Portugal's history and everyday life. Their widespread use also demonstrates the country's cultural exchanges during the Age of Exploration, reflecting influences from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Azulejos are celebrated for their artistic merit, showcasing intricate patterns and vibrant colors that enhance the architectural beauty of Portuguese cities. Today, azulejos remain a symbol of national pride, preserving Portugal's historical narratives and artistic achievements while continuing to inspire contemporary art and design. All these aspects and more are beautifully illustrated at the museum, housed in the former Franciscan convent of the Madre de Deus (Convent of the Mother of God). The structure still boasts the otherworldly splendor of the gold-leafed church and choir. This visit is truly a feast for the eyes.

Locals love it; tourists love it: Bolhão market is the real deal. Wandering up and down the stands can take 10 minutes or two hours, depending on how hungry you are. The city's main market since the 1800s, recent renovations have polished the exterior, while keeping the market's heart alive, the grocers, wine-sellers and fishmongers that epitomize the gastronomy of Northern Portugal. São Lázaro, by contrast, is the delicious, low-brow, cheap-beer-drinking, roast-pork-sandwich-gnoshing night-time neighborhood that starts serving at 11am. Together - Oh, yum!

Matosinhos, a happy town just a 30-minute metro-ride away from Porto, provides the beach-bum, or the traveling family, sand between their toes and the cool water of the Atlantic. But why limit yourself to an ocean breeze? The town's renowned municipal market is housed in an attractive architectural monument; Porto's largest green-space abuts the shoreline and invites passerbys to visit its aquarium, Sea Life. Get this, you can visit country's Center for Architecture and go on a tour of a working fish-tinning factory on the same street (It's better than it sounds)! There's even a fortress called "Cheese Castle" but please, don't let your kids try to bite it, and don't try yourself. So many things to see, so much sand and so little time!

What do get when you combine a small-city feel with world-changing history? Guimarães! Called the birthplace of the Nation of Portugal, the kingdom founded here went on to explore the world and affect world politics from China and India to Africa and South America. A pleasant city with important castles, beautiful churches, an old fortress wall that you can walk upon if you know where to look, and a square where tourists can admire old houses, and the citizen living in them can hang their laundry and admire the tourists. This city is an excellent example of a balance between tourism and a living town center.

Why is Braga referred to as the "Rome of Portugal"? Because Rome conquered the area under Caesar Augustus? Because it has more Catholic churches than you can shake a stick at? Let's call it both; but really, it's the latter. The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is a UNESCO attraction here for its contributions to Old- and New-World, baroque architecture, and the Cathedral of Braga is an impressive fortress of a church, but the city's small delights might be what charm more. The older Rome of Augustus, however, still reveals itself, and in in some surprising places.
