The travel experts at Fodor\u2019s put the country\u2019s Minho region on their \u201cGo List\u201d for next year, and Lonely Planet calls the Azores one of the world\u2019s best regions to visit in 2017.

In addition, some highlights to consider for your forthcoming to-see list:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lisbon and Algarve: The popular city and beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A first-timer\u2019s trip to Portugal should include the capital city of Lisbon,\u00a0which gets plenty of attention for its\u00a0scenic day hikes\u00a0and scene-y nightlife. A 2.5-hour drive\u00a0brings you to\u00a0the Algarve,\u00a0Portugal\u2019s equally popular coastal region, where you can search for\u00a0the perfect hidden beach.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Minho: The lesser-known wine region<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fodor\u2019s calls Minho the most beautiful part of the country, with a national park that sounds straight out of a fairytale. This\u00a0stunning river valley\u00a0also turns out an incredible (and cheap!) local wine.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Comporta: The beach you may not have heard of<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If buzzy Lisbon sounds like too much action, Comporta will be your best friend. This\u00a0uncrowded fishing village\u00a0is a hit with Europe\u2019s\u00a0rich and famous.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MAAT: The newest museum on the map<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lisbon\u2019s stunning Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology\u00a0opened in October with a building design that will make architecture fans swoon. It\u2019s just one of several top-notch museums\u00a0in the area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Azores:\u00a0The islands that put Hawaii to shame<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dubbed the \u201cnext Iceland,\u201d these increasingly popular islands some 800 miles off the coast won\u2019t be a secret much longer.
