Snuggled up next to Spain, sharing the longest unbroken border in the whole European Union. Portugal’s been around the block a few times! These folks were total adventurers back in the day. Ever heard of Ferdinand Magellan? Yep, he was Portuguese, and he’s the guy who first sailed all the way around the world. Talk about a road trip!

But wait, there’s more! Portugal used to be a big-shot empire – one of the longest-lasting in Europe. In fact, it’s the oldest country in Europe that still has the same borders. Pretty impressive, right?

The Portuguese have always been curious cats. They’ve got the world’s oldest bookstore (book lovers, rejoice!) and one of Europe’s first universities, set up way back in 1290. These people love to learn!

Fast forward to today, and Portugal’s still got that explorer spirit. They’re totally embracing the tech world. Get this: they were one of the first European countries to roll out the red carpet for digital nomads with a special visa. So if you’re into gadgets and gizmos, Portugal’s the place to be. They even host some of the biggest tech conferences in the world.
