Map of The Norte Region

The Norte region is Portugal at its most attractive: with the notable exception of bustling Oporto, it is rural, green and mountainous, or at least hilly, with historic towns and attractive villages everywhere you go. You may have gathered that current Portuguese administrative divisions do not correspond simply to the old distritos, but Norte roughly includes the districts of Bragança, Vila Real, Viana do Castelo, Braga and Porto (Oporto).

This map of Portugal comes courtesy of those nice young people over at Google, bless their little cotton socks. It will centre where you double click, you can pan over it using the arrows (or dragging the rectangle in the overview map in the corner), and you can zoom in and out using the '+' and '-' buttons. Neat, ain't it? I have pre-selected the "Hybrid" view, just because I happen to like the look of it — if you are looking for a road map or a street map, just click "Map" (or "Mapa" or whatever it says in your language). Or select the "Satellite" view to remove the place names and other map elements.
