Hi there,
I'm planning a trip to Portugal in August. I'm unsure of where to go - but from what I've heard it's awesome.
We're going to go for 7 nights at this stage. Can anyone recommend must sees? And any package deals that might be worth a look into?
Cheers in advance

IMO, Lisbon and Porto are the best places to go.

7 days is really short. I would recommend some beach days near Zambujeira do Mar area but if you do, you won't see anything else...

Braga is a beautiful city and the landscape around is amazing.
As ESKEMA Wrote Zambujeira do Mar, it's situated in the "Costa Alentejana" and it's like he says.
Then you have beaches more North, and if you surf, then my friend you can have a really good time in Peniche and Super Tubos, Ericeira, Carcavelos, etc...
Nazaré is also a beach and it's very unique with the women wearing the typical layered seven skirts and selling fish.
Sintra is a very beautiful place for romance and has a fantastic green landscape and lot's of gardens.
Porto has interesting architecture from the Art Noveau and Art Deco period. It has also very interesting modern architecture like Casa da Música. There you have also Casa de Serralves, sort of foundation with Museum. You have lot's of cultural associations offering a wide range of events. You can have a boat trip and visit where the Port wine is made. Porto has a lot of bridges, one from Gustav Eiffel.
Lisbon is very multicultural and it's crazy to party. It has a lot to tell about but with some research it's very easy to find what's going one and where to go.
You have also Serra do Gerês, it's green up there, very green.
You can go to Serra do Gerês bring a dog and some very good cheese. I don't know if you can ski this time of year.
Coimbra has one of the oldest Universities in Europe and nearby there's some Roman ruins.
