17 de March de 2023

Do you need travel backpacks for your weekend getaways? Do you want a backpack that combines aesthetics, glamour and practicality? Backpacks are one of the most important elements in travel, as they are necessary to carry and protect our belongings while we travel the streets or the intricacies of the routes and cities. 

In particular, travel backpacks should be comfortable, durable and contain sufficient and necessary space delimited by pockets. This delimitation will favour personal and personal organisation, especially in those cases in which we spend a large part of the day outside the flat or hotel where we are staying.

In addition, a well-designed backpack will give you style during your trip. Getting that touch of personality and visual appeal that will complement at all times, your outfit and image throughout the day. It is an accessory that you have to take care of with care, as it is the key element that will make the difference.

Why Serena and what is its relationship with Portugal? Spring-summer collection

Quiet, peaceful, calm… Portuguese cities have a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that invites visitors to enjoy life at their own pace. The ease of finding natural landscapes or little corners where you can disconnect from everyday life in Portugal is incredibly fascinating. As a result, many Portuguese have adopted the word serenity as their own when defining their own country. 

If we extrapolate serenity to fashion, a serene woman’s travel bag or backpack can be one that offers functionality and comfort in its daily use. They are also those that are designed with a minimalist and elegant aesthetic, providing their user with a soft and light feeling like the Portuguese breeze. 

Accordingly, Binnari’s Serena spring-summer collection is born from empathising with the Portuguese culture and feeling identified with this word when creating elegant and comfortable products capable of adapting to any lifestyle.

What’s the plan? In other words, what kind of trip would you like to take? Here are different travel options for you to discover Portugal on different weekend getaways according to your preferences and do it together with the various stylish travel backpacks from Binnari that have been selected for you.

Mountain destination: Serra de Estrela and Coimbra, the old Portuguese capital

Visiting the Serra da Estrala Natural Park in central Portugal is a fantastic plan for those who want a weekend getaway with hiking trails or comfortable walks in a more relaxed atmosphere. In this region, every landscape is more beautiful than the last. Here you will find green meadows, glacial valleys and lakes that create a beautiful mirror effect between the mountains. More than 300 km of footpaths to discover with your Binnari women’s backpack.

Don’t forget to put your swimming costume in one of the pockets! Enjoy the therapeutic waters in the thermal baths of Serra de Estrela. Visit the Unhais da Serra thermal baths or the Caldas de Manteigas thermal baths. 

Take advantage of this mountain destination located between Seia and Covillana to visit the ancient Portuguese capital of Coimbra. Stroll around the local shops and buy local products such as genuine leather coats, socks and sausages. As a recommendation, don’t miss the opportunity to try the famous ‘Queijo da Serra’ cheese, with its strong perfume and intense flavour.

Discover Portugal’s most unspoilt beaches in Alentejo or practice sport in the Algarve

Two areas of identical beauty. If you are one of those who seek the sea on your weekend getaways, Alentejo is the region south of Lisbon famous for having the most unspoilt beaches in Portugal. Walk along its coastline and discover an almost entirely protected area where peace, nature and disconnection reign supreme. 

Gastronomy, good wine and natural activities are another of Alentejo’s strong points. We suggest one of our stylish Binnari travel backpacks to accompany you on horseback rides, diving or surfing activities.

On the other hand, in the Algarve region you will find the Praia do Amado beach, one of the best beaches in Europe for water sports in windy weather. As a suggestion, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the small village of Carrapateira, it’s charming!

Porto, Lisbon or Aveiro: Cultural destinations to explore with your backpacks

Oporto, one of the cultural getaways at Easter proposed by Binnari.

If you want to focus your trip on getting to know big cities and soaking up their culture, your weekend getaway should include a visit to Porto, Lisbon or Aveiro. So, pack your backpack and head first to what is considered to be the ‘cultural capital of Portugal’, welcome to Porto.

Portugal’s second largest city has so much to offer visitors. Stroll along the beautiful Douro riverbank, discover its colourful streets and enjoy its historic buildings. Many people fall in love with this city. If we had to highlight the must-sees, don’t miss the Clérigos Tower, the cathedral, the viewpoint from the bridge of Don Luis I and the soul of the city, the Ribeira district. 

Do you know Lisbon? Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its location is extremely unique, as it is nestled between hills and the Tagus estuary. It is a city with a special luminosity that combines the traditional and the cosmopolitan

There are countless things to tell you about Lisbon, but to sum up, you can’t miss the castle of St. George’s on the popular tram 28, the sunsets from the viewpoint of Santa Lucia, the imperial Sé de Lisboa cathedral, the Santa Justa elevator and the popularly known Belem Tower. Rest your feet and re-pack your travel backpack woman, we’re off to Portuguese Venice!

Aveiro is ideal for a one-morning getaway from Porto or Coimbra (although it’s almost an hour’s drive away). It is characterised by its canals, colourful tiled houses and cobbled streets, and you can get lost in its historic and cultural centre! From there you can take authentic magazine photos.

Wine tourism in the Alto Douro wine villages

Wine tourism Easter getaways in Portugal, discover the Alto Duoro region.

Do you love wine and travel in search of its pleasure? Then get lost in the Alto Douro Vinhateiro region to discover the superb Douro landscape full of vineyards and wine villages listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay in houses or estates and enjoy the full experience. 

If, on the other hand, you prefer something more civilised, enjoy a wine-tasting holiday and visit heritage sites both on the coast and inland. Cool riverside cities such as Porto or others such as Braga or Guimarães await you with open arms and good Portuguese wine.  

Do you have a glamorous women’s travel backpack for these occasions? Let us advise you on this one.

According to the American newspaper USA Today, the Alentejo was awarded the distinction of best wine region in the world in 2014. Besides, the Alentejo region is home to many of the national wine products whose quality is appreciated at an international level (and for good reason). Do you dare to visit it during your weekend getaway?

Viseu, one of the heritage cities that inspired our stylish travel backpacks

Historical Easter getaways in Portugal, visit the town of Viseu.

Viseu may not be one of Portugal’s best known and most visited destinations, but we believe that Viseu is one of those heritage towns that should not be missed on any weekend getaway. It is located almost in the centre of the country and is a very peaceful and welcoming town. 

In a natural setting with lots of greenery, it retains the charm and Portuguese history that guts the roots of the country. Start your visit in the Adro da Sé square, discover the cathedral of Santa Maria de Viseu, wander through its narrow streets and discover the Jewish quarter and other charming places to finish in the Dom Duarte square. A heritage city in every sense of the word. 

If you want to get to know Viseu and blend in with the city, we recommend the women’s travel backpack, which was inspired by a visit to the city.
