Where to walk in Portugal

• Coimbra (3 tours): Portugal's mind for seven centuries, a city built around one of the world's oldest universities, crowning a hill above the Mondego with a gilded baroque library and black-caped students. Below the gown lies the working lower town where the first kings are buried and a deep, male Fado is sung, and across the river runs the country's greatest love tragedy.
• Evora (3 tours): A walled museum city on the Alentejo plain that never stopped being lived in, stacking Roman, medieval, and Renaissance Portugal on one hill where a two-thousand-year-old Roman temple still stands. Home to a chapel built from the bones of thousands and a Renaissance aqueduct that walks the water into town, its arches filled with people's houses. A UNESCO World Heritage centre.
• Lisbon (3 tours): A city of seven hills above the Tejo where the medieval Moorish Alfama survived the great earthquake of 1755 on its bedrock while the rational Pombaline grid rose from the ruins below, and where, out at Belem, the caravels of the Discoveries once put to sea. Fado in the lanes, tiles on the walls, an ocean at the end of the street.
• Porto (3 tours): A granite city that faces its river, the Douro, whose medieval Ribeira waterfront gave the country its name and whose great iron bridge finally married the two banks. Austere in stone yet exuberant on its surfaces: baroque towers, churches sheathed in blue tile, and a wine, aged across the water in Gaia, that carried the city's name around the world.
• Sintra (3 tours): A cool, damp green mountain near Lisbon where kings summered for the air and Romantics built a deliberate fantasy on the peaks: the eclectic Pena palace, a ruined Moorish castle, and gardens coded with symbols like the Regaleira's inverted initiation well. Byron called it a glorious Eden. A UNESCO cultural landscape of make-believe made real.
