Vibrant cities, amazing food and wine, and breathtaking landscapes

At the western edge of Europe, Portugal is a rich country with vibrant cities and villages steeped in history. Quaint towns stand proud on rugged cliff tops, gothic spires rise majestically and charming cobbled streets invite you to explore winding old towns. A visit to Portugal is bound to be one of lasting memories and extraordinary experiences.

From the historic beauty of Alentejo and the highlights of Lisbon, to the pretty towns of Estoril and Cascais, and Porto’s lush wine estates – Portugal is ripe for exploration.

The best way to truly experience a destination is through its cuisine. So, get a real taste for Portugal as you sample local dishes and delicacies from across the regions. Pop into a small tasquinha to savour fish fresh from the sea or sink your teeth into delicate pastries originating from medieval Catholic monasteries. And of course, don’t forget the world famous Portuguese wine.

Whether it’s a beach holiday you need, or a cultural and culinary experience, Portugal is waiting to reveal its treasures.

Porto

Built on a steep riverbank, a jumble of colourful medieval houses hug the calm waters of the Douro River where wooden boats bob on the surface and people spill out of its cafes and bars, more often than not with a glass of the wine that gave the city its name.
