The Belem tower is a must, go to the castles in Sintra too. And see if you can spend time in Cascais too, beautiful place.
Spain? yeah Mallorca, Madrid, Barcelona are also musts.

Eh. Not really. We spent a few days there before and after the 2018 Missoula show. Lots of Mormon related tours and sites. There’s an IKEAbart wrote:Is Salt Lake City worth visiting?

Re: Travel thread
I'm more thinking of hiking up in the mountains and a couple hours outside of SLC, but I'd be travelling for work so I'd have to stay based in the city. Looks like there's a decent amount of stuff to do in the city though.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Eh. Not really. We spent a few days there before and after the 2018 Missoula show.

Re: Travel thread
We have very good friends who are from and/or still live there. So as far as food/drinks/entertainment/etc goes, we're feeling pretty confident.
