The most romantic day of the year is approaching and Civitatis offers you six destinations in Portugal to be explorers on a romantic getaway for two.

Here are some proposals to celebrate Valentine’s Day:

Sao Miguel, Azores

São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores archipelago, is verdant, lush, welcoming and vibrant, but it also has a quiet side. There is a lot to see and do, but it is also a strategic point and if you are exploring the other islands, with direct flights and boats. Walk through Sete Cidades and visit the Blue and Verde Lakes. Take the opportunity to take a dip in the natural pools.

sintra

Few cities in the world have as many tourist attractions worthy of the best itineraries as Sintra. Located less than an hour’s drive from Lisbon, this romantic city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of small stately homes, palaces and castle. Famous for the Pena National Palace and the Moorish Castle, Sintra is a trip back in time. The viewpoints in the Churchyard of São Martinho and Correnteza are great for contemplating the landscape and the Parque da Liberdade is the perfect place to stroll and relax.

Coimbra

Coimbra is a timeless destination that will host acclaimed poets and writers. To the sound of serenades and Fado, Coimbra will conquer your heart. In this romantic itinerary, the first mandatory stop is Quinta das Lágrimas, a place surrounded by the purest beauty and forever marked by the love story between D. Pedro and Inês de Castro.

tavira

Tavira is a small, sweet, romantic and family-friendly town east of Faro. Despite being extremely touristy in the summer, it is always free from large cities. Stroll along the Gilão River and visit Pego do Inferno, one of the three waterfalls in the region. As night approaches, head to the beach and savor fresh seafood and white wine as the winter sun sets over the ocean.

Braga

Braga is a city with a special charm. With a great legacy and a long history (and more than 30 churches), Braga is the oldest city in Portugal, dating back over 2000 years. Bom Jesus, on top of a hill, from where you can see the entire city, is one of the must-see places.

Guimarães

The city of Guimarães is one of the most important historical destinations in the country. Known as the “Cradle of the Nation”, Guimarães is a fascinating destination to visit with your partner. To share superb panoramic views of Guimarães with your loved one, a trip to Penha, via the cable car, provides a superior aerial view of the city and from where to enjoy a unique natural landscape.
