Estrada Nacional 2 (N2) is the longest Portuguese road, totaling 739.26 kilometers, and the only one in Europe that crosses a country for its entire length (there are only two more in the world: Route 66, in the USA, and Ruta 40 in Argentina).
Established on May 11, 1945 in the Road Plan, Estrada Nacional 2 has the presence of Philippine architecture constructions, referring the beginning of its history to past centuries, where it was created to centrally serve the Portuguese kingdom, calling itself Estrada Real.
It extends from North to South, along its route it passes through 35 municipalities (Chaves, Vila Pouca de Aguiar, Vila Real, Santa Marta de Penaguião, Peso da Régua, Castro Daire, São Pedro do Sul, Viseu, Tondela, Santa Comba Dão, Mortágua, Penacova, Vila Nova de Poiares, Lousã, Góis, Pedrogão Grande, Sertã, Vila de Rei, Sardoal, Abrantes, Ponte de Sor, Avis, Mora, Coruche, Montemor-o-Novo, Viana do Alentejo, Alcácer do Sal, Ferreira do Alentejo, Aljustrel, Castro Verde, Almodôvar, Loulé, São Brás de Alportel and Faro), connecting the city of Chaves, in Trás-os-Montes, to the city of Faro, in the Algarve.
The route, full of mysticism, material and immaterial heritage and unique characteristics, passes through bridges over 11 rivers and crosses 9 mountain ranges. The National Road Route 2 is the purest way to get to know Portugal, its diversity, culture, landscape, demography, gastronomy and heritage, recognized worldwide.
