Tucked amidst the beautiful terraced vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley, Lamego is an elegant city dotted with baroque buildings and religious monuments. The Lamego Cathedral, the 18th-century Episcopal palace, and the ancient Chapel of São Pedro de Balsemão are three must-see spots, and if you have any energy left, you can climb up the breathtaking stairway on St Stephen’s Hill to see the Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies. The city is also known for its delicious sparkling wines, which are aged in underground caves and can be sampled at many of the local wineries. Lamego
