External Reviews
"It's actually the pictures that make this book so great. The graphics have an appeal that just make you want to keep on reading it. It gives you good visual points of reference to find your way around. It helps you prioritise your trip based on more than the writer's prose.
There is plenty of detail, more emphasising the places to see and things to do than details like hotels and restaurants. After saying that, please note that the restaurant guide at the back of the book recommends 5-6 places in each location, and I have yet to be disappointed by any of the places. After my travels, this book be a prize on my bookshelf." - Amazon Review.
AI Summary
One of the most trusted names in travel publishing, the DK Eyewitness series brings its characteristic combination of detailed mapping, cutaway illustrations, and rich photography to Portugal in its fullest sense - covering not just the mainland from the Minho to the Algarve, but extending to the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores. Neighbourhood by neighbourhood and region by region, the guide works through history, architecture, food, and practical logistics with the thoroughness that makes it equally useful for first-time visitors and those returning to explore further. The flexibound format travels well, and the visual approach to sights and landmarks makes orientation straightforward whether you're navigating Lisbon's miradouros or the volcanic landscapes of the Azores.
