Product Description

Product Description
The Rough Guide to Portugal is the ultimate handbook to one of Europe's most beguiling countries. The full-colour introduction includes stunning photos of the best sights and activities, from the famous resorts of the Algarve to the nightlife of Lisbon, from historic Evora to the wine lodges of Porto. There are lively accounts of all the attractions, including those well off-the-beaten-track and practical tips on outdoor activities such as exploring the country's magnificent mountains, endless beaches and stunning national parks. In every chapter there are good maps and plans, complete with keys for all accommodation, eating and drinking establishments. Finally, in the 'contexts' section there is unrivalled cultural background from fado to cuisine, football to history.

About the Author
Mark Ellingham and John Fisher were co-founders of Rough Guides and wrote the first edition of the Rough Guide to Portugal in 1985. Matthew Hancock is author of the Rough Guides to Lisbon, The Algarve and Maderia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best companion for independent travelling., 25 April 2001
I did a 16 day trip around Easter this year, visiting among other places Porto, Coímbra, Lagos and Lisbon. The Rough Guide proved very helpful in directing me to Portugal's most interesting spots, as well as in giving me information about practicalities like accomodation, food, transport and even laundry. I travelled on a quite limited budget, mostly eating and sleeping as cheap as possible, and even if this book isn't specifically aimed at such travellers, I'd easily recommend it to others. A plus for a good number of quite accurate maps that help you get the bearings on arrival, and also for including accomodation listings in the very beginning of each chapter. A roof for the night is, after all, one of the first things you should look for. Also good on nightlife. And just to point out a few drawbacks: Accomodation is listed alphabetically, not by price. Didn't like that. I also found it coming a little short on background information about portuguese society, culture and contemporary life.

But I definately liked the book. It helped me getting the most out of my fortnight in Portugal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sets the standard for guide books, 25 Aug 1999
By A Customer
By far the best guide to Portugal you will find. It tells you everything you could wish to know. I live in Portugal -- and find it invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth travelling in Portugal, 18 Mar 2001
By ronald.simpson@onmail.co.uk (South Kirkby, West Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
In fact as a review of the Rough Guide to Portugal this could as easily be a review of any or all of the Rough Guides travel books - it just happens to be the one I've used most recently. The Rough Guides score on all the main factors for books as aids to travel. They are thorough enough to enable the traveller to make informed judgements without being so comprehensive that they drive your airline baggage into excess weight. Most important of all Rough Guides are relevant to most travellers' experiences: the places I visit are recognizably the same as described and the guides do not direct themselves to one readership, be it backpackers or epicures, seekers after history or nightlife. There's nothing fancy about the Rough Guides, but all you need is helpful, clear and accurate guides - and that's what you get. And, of course, as guides start going out of date even before they reach the shops, the positive encouragement to readers to supply corrections for the frequent updates is the Rough Guides' final strength.
