Following on the heels of Monocle's bestsellers on France, Spain and Greece, the coffee-table book "Portugal: The Monocle Handbook" introduces you to the best the country has to offer and presents the country's favorite spots throughout. The travel book browses from north to south (via the islands) to find innovative shopkeepers and traditional studios, the best neighborhoods, the chefs serving the tastiest dishes and the swankiest hotels - not to mention undiscovered beaches and leading cultural sites.

A handbook in feel and tone, this practical guide takes you to the sun-drenched hills of Lisbon and the winding streets of Porto, as well as lesser-known locations ranging from the Alentejo region, with its bountiful vineyards, to the dramatic landscapes of the Azores. Discover Monocle's favorite places to stay, eat and shop-stop at an elegant palácio, get pampered at a family-run tasca and scour the streets for the creamiest pastéis de nata-and take exciting trips around the country (by car, boat or horse). You'll also be introduced to the country's rich culture, including the history of Portugal's vibrant visual identity and the people at the heart of it all. There is even a chapter dedicated to those thinking of moving to Portugal, including case studies of people who have made the move, tips on the best neighborhoods to invest in and recommendations for architects and interior designers. So join us, hit the ground running and explore this fascinating country in Portugal: The Monocle Handbook.
