Random Portugal shots mostly from Porto
Palace of Ajuda, the last resident of the Portuguese Royal Family. Not a tourist in sight!
One of the most intagrammable place in Portugal, Costa Nova can be reached by bus from Aveiro. I believe these houses are air bnb use but not many locals live in these.
This is definitely one time visit thing. The houses were cute and it was more than just a couple houses (surprised by the amount) but they didn’t feel real and everything screamed for touristic in my opinion.
More Cabo da Roca and Praia da Ursa
Praia da Ursa Bear’s beach is famous for its distinguish rocks. Next to Capo da Roca (most western point of EU) you can hike there within 45min-1h. The route is often described as easy but if you’re not used to make an exception from the paths going down might be difficult.
It’s surprisingly popular and the traffic on the path is heavy. There are entire families with food, tents etc with them.
Please note that this beach is also known as a nudist beach and as it is located right on the Atlantic coast, the waves are big and cold. I recommend going here when the summer heat wave reaches its peak.
Évora, located in the hot Alentejo is full of history and culture! Don’t hesitate to visit!
Nazare, the surfing paradise
Some shots from my weekend trip in Nazaré a while back. This where the surfers come usually for the biggest waves during the winter season.
Lisbon before covid-19
These Coruña shots never end...
More Coruña shots! This part of Spain has so much to offer!
Took my time going though the Coruna trip photos from last September. I saw so many beautiful places! These are from my first 2 days :)
It’s summer now somewhere...
Now when it’s all cold, dark and so autumn like it’s good to remember the perfect first summer days..
In May I visited Helsinki, where I lived for 2 years. Awesome new museum AmosRex and amazing new library Oodi. Check these out if you’re in town!
Amsterdam in April. It was very grey so made it even more so.
I loved my mini break in Bologna!
I visited Palace of Queluz last January which is one of the best kept secrets in Sintra / Lisbon located literally between the the fairytale town of Sintra and the portuguese capital. This is the most beautiful room I’ve ever been visited. And the best part was that I was the only person there!
Merry Xmas! Feliz Natal! Hyvää Joulua!
Less known Lisboa. Monsanto park and Marvila. Worth stepping out of your normal path.
The rest of my Coimbra photos from the city and the university.
Photos from my visit to Coimbra, 4th biggest city in Portugal. It’s famous for its university which is one of the oldest in the world and especially the beautiful library Joanina (no photographing allowed!). Such a lively student city. Easy to reach from Lisbon and the city can be covered in one day easily. The city has more medieval feel than other portuguese cities I’ve been to. Here’s the first part of the photos I captured.
Random Lisboa when it was still summer and warm!
