Its name commemorates the then King Louis I. Its 172-meter span ranked first in the world at the time and is now one of Porto's landmark buildings. ✔️Aveiro Canal: Aveiro is known as the "Venice of Portugal", so you can't miss the beauty of the canal when you come to Aveiro. The banks of the winding canal are lined with colorful houses and Art Nouveau buildings. On the water, the Morrisiro boats with local characteristics are paddling leisurely. Time seems to slow down in the picturesque scenery. ✔️Tomar Christian Church: The Catholic church building combines Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architectural styles. It is one of the most important historical and cultural buildings in Portugal. It was designated by UNESCO in 1983. Listed as a World Heritage Site by the World Cultural Organization. ✔️Jeronimos Monastery: The most prominent monument in Lisbon, it took 100 years to build. The monastery is a perfect combination of Gothic and Renaissance styles. It is called the "treasure" of Manueline architecture by later generations. It is the most gorgeous and majestic monastery in Portugal. The nuns of the convent invented the Portuguese egg tart. ✔️Cintra Pena Palace: Located on the top of a mountain with stunning scenery, it was formerly a monastery. It was converted into a colorful fairy tale castle during the Ferdinand II period, incorporating various elements of Romanticism, Renaissance, Manueline and Moorish styles. The essence of home. The park next to the palace is filled with exotic plants and is a treasure trove of great surprises. ☀️Driving in Portugal is like opening an old book full of stories, each page exudes a charming fragrance. The scenery along the way unfolds like a scroll, from the aroma of Porto's wine to the blue sea and sky of Benagil Beach, to the castles and churches hidden on the top of the mountains, every step is intoxicating. This is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism. #trip # Self-driving # Car rental # Self-driving tour
