Did you know there is an Imperial McDonald’s in Po Did you know there is an Imperial McDonald’s in Porto Portugal?!? I kid you not I hadn’t been to McDonald’s in over 10 years before this 😂😂 But we were at the very end of our 2 week trip to Portugal and had had more amazing Portuguese food than you could possibly imagine (like the night before this we had a nine course tasting menu)… So naturally we decided we had to come and check this place out for research purposes And honestly, it didn’t disappoint LOL - will I be going to McDonald’s at home? No, but if you find yourself in Porto without dining plans, I fear it actually is worth a visit 🤌🏼 #mcdonalds #imperialmcdonalds #portoportugal #portugaltravel
My mini Porto travel guide 🇵🇹 where (not) to stay, My mini Porto travel guide 🇵🇹 where (not) to stay, eat, drink + what to do 📌 SAVE this for your Porto trip Porto was stop 4 on our Portugal trip — colorful tiled buildings, incredible food, port wine + river views, all packed into a city that’s easy to explore in a short trip. We only had one full day, so I did a lotttt of research beforehand. Here’s everything that made my list ↓ WHERE (NOT) TO STAY Torel Avantgarde — you know I keep it honest around here… this one did NOT live up to expectations. Without getting into all the details, the service + rooms were seriously lacking. COFFEE + BREAKFAST Noshi Coffee Do Norte Café by Hungry Biker NOLA KITCHEN Café Guarany WHERE TO EAT ELEMENTO tascö Solar Moinho de Vento Oficina DOP Adega São Nicolau Óbica Le Monument The Orangerie Intrigo Cervejaria Ferradura The Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant Pedro Lemos PORT WINE + DRINKS Graham’s Port Lodge or Fonseca — cross the river to Gaia for a port tasting + views Capela Incomum — wine bar in a former chapel Prova — Portuguese wine bar BOSCO Porto — the BEST views + vibes THINGS TO DO São Bento Station — iconic blue + white tiles Torre dos Clérigos — climb for city views Luís I Bridge — walk across for one of the best views Ribeira — wander the colorful riverfront Foz do Douro — where the Douro meets the Atlantic Imperial McDonald’s — LOL yes, we checked out what might be the world’s fanciest McDonald’s DOURO VALLEY 🍷 We stayed at Six Senses Douro Valley and I’d 100% pair Porto with a few nights in wine country. Porto is doable in 1–2 days, but I’d give yourself 2 full days to enjoy the restaurants, port lodges + neighborhoods without rushing. Next up: the Douro Valley 🍷 I’m putting together my full Portugal Google Map with every hotel, restaurant, wine bar, coffee shop + stop I saved, so stay tuned ✈️ Follow @probablyoutofoffice for more PTO-friendly travel guides! #portoportugal #portugaltravel #portoitinerary #thingstodoinporto #portugaltraveling
The perfect 3-day Lagos, Portugal itinerary 🇵🇹 S The perfect 3-day Lagos, Portugal itinerary 🇵🇹 Save this for your Algarve trip because Lagos is a stop you need to add to your itinerary! Honestly, I was a little skeptical about how much I would like this place based on some mixed opinions online, but it totally exceeded my expectations! The dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, ridiculously blue water, and some very good rooftop drinks were 🤌🏼🤌🏼 Here’s exactly how I’d spend 3 days in Lagos: DAY 1 — Sagres + Old Town → Drive to Lagos via Sagres → Explore Lagos Old Town → Walk the waterfront → Dinner + rooftop drinks in town DAY 2 — Algarve by boat → Slow breakfast at the hotel → Full-day private boat charter along the Algarve coast → Stop in Ferragudo for lunch → Dinner back in Lagos DAY 3 — Beaches + the best of Lagos → Hike the coastal trail to Ponta da Piedade → Lunch + drinks at Luca’s Rooftop → Beach hop along the Algarve coast → Sunset drinks at Mar d’Estórias Rooftop → Dinner at Taberna da Mó → Gelato at Gelateria Pino My biggest Lagos travel tip: don’t treat it like a place where you just sit on the beach for three days. The coastline is the main event and seeing it from both the cliffs and the water is what makes it so special! This was part of our bigger Portugal road trip through Porto, the Douro Valley, Lisbon, Comporta + the Algarve, and I’m putting our entire Portugal itinerary together… where we stayed, ate, drank, what I’d book again, and exactly how we structured the route. Comment “itinerary” and I’ll make sure you’re subscribed to my Out of Office Edit on Substack so you get the full Portugal itinerary when it drops next week! And SAVE this post for when you’re planning your own Lagos + Algarve itinerary . . . . . . #LagosPortugal #PortugalItinerary #AlgarvePortugal #PortugalTravel #LagosItinerary

Comporta might be one of Portugal’s best-kept secr Comporta might be one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets and it was easily one of my favorite stops from this trip!! If you’re planning a Portugal itinerary and want somewhere that feels elevated, beachy, relaxed and a little less obvious than Lisbon or the Algarve, save this mini Comporta travel guide 📌 Stay: Sublime Comporta - @sublimecomporta 
 Beach: Sublime Comporta Beach Club Sal
 Food: Alma
Mesa Cavalariqa
Beefbar 
Do: Wander the shops in Comporta town, spend an afternoon at the beach, and leave plenty of time to actually enjoy your hotel A few things I’d know before visiting Comporta: definitely rent a car because everything is more spread out than it looks, choose your hotel carefully for the same reason, and make beach club reservations ahead of time. I think 2–3 nights is the sweet spot, especially if you’re doing a bigger Portugal road trip. I totally understand why people call it the “Hamptons of Portugal,” but it felt more relaxed, wellness-y and low-key than I expected… while still having the great hotels, restaurants, beach clubs and shopping I want on vacation. I’m putting together my full Portugal Google Map with all of the hotels, restaurants, beaches, wine bars + saved spots from this trip, so that’s coming soon!! #ComportaPortugal #ComportaTravelGuide #PortugalTravel #PortugalItinerary #PortugalRoadTrip
I loveeeee when a hotel just gets it 🤌🏼 Sublime Co I loveeeee when a hotel just gets it 🤌🏼 Sublime Comporta is one of those places where everything… and I mean everything… was perfection! The design alone would have sold me. The way they laid out this property makes you feel like you’ve completely left the real world behind. Private villas tucked into the trees, the most peaceful energy, and this incredible connection to nature that never feels forced. You walk around and it’s just... quiet. In the best possible way. But what really sets it apart is that the experience matches the aesthetic. The service was fantastic, the food was insanely good, and there was never a moment where I felt like the vibe was carrying something the rest of the stay couldn’t back up. Everything delivered 👏🏼 This is one of those properties that I feel like isn’t getting nearly enough attention on the travel scene, and honestly that might be part of what makes it so special. No crowds, no hype, just a really intentional stay that makes you not want to leave. Comporta in general is such an underrated destination and Sublime is the reason I’d go back. If you’re planning Portugal and want something beyond Lisbon and the Algarve, put @sublimecomporta on your list!! 📍Sublime Comporta, Portugal . . . . . #comporta #luxuryhotel #boutiquehotels #portugaltravel #sublimecomporta
