Map of The Centro Region

Portugal's Centro region includes the old distritos of Castelo Branco, Guarda, Viseu, Aveiro, Coimbra and Leiria, more or less what is now called Beira (Beira Interior, Norte and Sul, and Beira Litoral). It is chock-full of interesting historic places and attractive scenery and is a great area to motor around. The map is not entirely satisfactory, sorry, because the region is not really rectangular, especially in the south - Santarém, Portalegre and the area in between belong to Alentejo.

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.
