@decortours We are so excited about our first-ever Decor Tours Portugal adventure, Sept. 29- Oct 6! •• We have a wonderful (if we do say so ourselves) itinerary planned that combines a mix of design history (those tiles!), studio visits, workshops, and curated tours, all with time to explore both Lisbon and Porto. •• If you’ve never considered Portugal as a design destination—please do! There is a distinctly contemporary arts & design culture, fused with a true respect for traditional methods, skills, and materials. And fortunately for visitors, Portugal remains affordable, making excellent food & wine, along with great shopping, reasonable even given the Euro to dollar exchange. Plus, Portugal was named Europe's Leading Destination in the 2019 World Travel Awards, just announced earlier this month, and was the featured destination in the NYTimes travel section just yesterday! •• Join us to explore the design history and design opportunities offered by a country that was once the most powerful in the world—and that through myriad circumstances managed to preserve a culture of artisanship valued throughout Europe. Restorations and renovations at Versailles and Fontainebleau, as well as other palaces and embassies throughout Europe, depend on the traditional expertise to be found throughout Portugal. And bonus: The country is home to 15 UNESCO heritage sites. •• Add in that the thriving contemporary design scene and you literally have dozens of excellent reasons to join us this October. •• 📸: via: stella_cha, mldor, carlitoslf •• #decortours #everydayextraordinary #designadventures #designhistory #designdiscovery #inspirationeverywhere #designinspiration #dtportugal #portugal #tiles #azulejos #palaisdesmarquisdefronteira #azulejosportugueses #lisbon #lisboa #portuguesetiles #CasasdeFronteiraeAlorna #transferwarechinapottery (at Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzG6SMep_dP/?igshid=u1e3ojdgnovd
