We always travel with two books for each destination and Rick Steves is always the book we use most for food, attractions, and city walks. Great writing style and very rarely out of date information.

If you are looking for a great, informative guide to the ins and outs of the country of Portugal, this book is for you! It has awesome insider tips on where to stay, eat, climate, costs...all updated annually...it even includes phone numbers of places to stay and whether or not they speak English...provides emails and websites and so much more!
My only complaint is that I would have liked more photos!
Overall, an excellent guide!

Rick Steves does it again. Great recommendations. The only quibble (why not a 5) is that Rick is so selective that he does not include places, such as Tomar, that may be off the beaten path but really do deserve a mention, if not a strong encouragement to visit. If you buy this book, or even if you don't, look at his website where there are updates and a "chat room" that help you plan a visit.

What you need to know to go... Never go to a foreign country without Rick Steves, and this one, on the least touristy place in Europe, is up to his high standards.
