True Europe Presents
Renowned for its beach towns and cities steeped in history, Portugal offers a combination of relaxation and cultural heritage. Cooler winters allow for festive celebrations with sunny days and thinner crowds. Spring is perfect for exploring Porto Old Town, witnessing the grape harvest, and indulging in gastronomic and wine-tasting experiences after kayaking on the Douro River. In summer, the Algarve’s stunning beaches, dolphin spotting in Comporta, and private tours in Lisbon showcase the country in all its splendour. Portugal reveals its artistic side through activities such as pottery and cookery classes, where you can learn to make pastel de nata, the classic Portuguese custard tart. Whether exploring secluded beaches with dramatic caves or admiring the grand architecture of Lamego, Portugal delivers an exceptional experience for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.

Immerse yourself in Portugal’s diverse landscapes and heritage. Lisbon, the coastal capital, blends historic charm with contemporary energy. The Algarve’s golden beaches and rugged cliffs invite relaxation. Porto, famed for port wine, unfolds along the Douro River. Explore the medieval magic of Sintra and the cultural richness of Porto.
So beautiful it is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Douro Valley should never be overlooked as a holiday destination. Cruising up the river is, by all means, the best way to take in the terraced vineyards of the region. Once you have reached the wonderfully peaceful heart of the Douro, there are some great places to really switch off at. Visiting local vineyards is a must, and if you are fortunate enough to be staying in Autumn, joining in with the harvest is a unique way to get involved and say you helped produce the wine of that season.The region’s sprinkling of historic towns and rustic villages are also wonderful to wander around, while the rugged mountains to east are home to the Côa Valley’s prehistoric rock art and some great hikes.
Lisbon is the country’s capital, brimming with hustle and bustle and located on the coast. You can while your time away café hopping and noseying around neighbourhoods. The city is colourful and lively and the atmosphere is contagious.
