This newly revised edition of National Geographic's authoritative Portugal guide brings the visitor attractions, museums, hotels, restaurants, and beach resorts of this dynamic country right up to the moment. It also includes two timely new additions: The first celebrates the national soccer team's coronation as European Champions in 2016 and examines the long history of the sport in Portugal; the second covers the new CR7 Museum, dedicated to soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo, a native of Madeira.
