Algarve (Portimão), Portugal

Known for its picturesque seaside promenade, the Algarve’s second-largest city has a long history of fishing and shipbuilding that is equally noteworthy. Dedicated to this rich heritage, award-winning Museu de Portimão, housed in a restored 19th-century fish cannery, is one of the city’s most fascinating draws. Its vibrant, historic center features an abundance of squares lined with cafés and ancient buildings, including the impressive 15th-century chapel Nossa Senhora da Conceição which, despite damage from an earthquake in 1755, retains its original Gothic entryway.
