Named for its location next to ancient Roman bridge on the languid Lima River, Ponte de Lima is one of the oldest and most beautiful villages in Portugal. The village's namesake medieval bridge happens to be one of its most impressive sights, but there are plenty of other attractions as well, including the stunning Igreja da Misericórdia church, the town's picturesque flower gardens, and a unique museum showcasing Portuguese toys and their history. A massive town festival takes place every September, and once every second Monday, the town also hosts a sprawling outdoor market along the riverbank. Ponte de Lima
