Viseu Portugal
Roughly halfway between Porto and Coimbra, the rural district of Viseu nestles in the heart of the winemaking Dão-Lafões sub-region, a landscape forme by lush pine forests, crystalline rivers and some of the most reputable vineyards in the country.
Head to the historical Adro da Sé square and enter the richly embellished cathedral. Go to the nearby Renaissance art museum and let your eyes wander from painting to painting and book a wine tour of the Solar do Dão to reward your taste buds with slow-paced sips of this region's full-bodied wine. Also, explore the Cava do Viriato, a pentagonal-shaped park believed to have once been the military camp of the Lusitanian leader Viriato - a legendary warrior who protected Viseu from Roman invaders long ago.
