Portugal
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.
Alentejo is probably Portugal’s most unspoilt and untouched region but definitely the largest. The Alentejo is a truly unique landscape, starting at the Comporta coastline, where beaches stretch for miles and going inland transforms to miles of vines and farms producing cork.
Famed for golf and golden sandy beaches, the Algarve has people returning annually to enjoy the very reliable long hot summers, great food and charming people. The coastline is expansive and although it can get busy, there are ways to get away from the crowds and discover the Algarve’s authentic side.
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.
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 – Bairro Alto being our favourite.
Porto is Portugal’s second city, built around the famous Douro River. The city has a village feel with a beautiful old town, excellent wine bars (no surprise there being the home of port) and rooftops to enjoy views and sunsets from.
