Small in size but rich in history, extravagant architecture and spectacular landscapes, Portugal holidays punch well above their weight to earn their place as one of Europe’s most rewarding travel destinations. No wonder it was recently voted one of the top tips for travel in 2022 in Wanderlust Magazine's prestigious Hot List.

A Golden History

Portugal’s overseas empire was one of the longest lived in history, spanning much of the globe for over 600 years. During that time the wealth of the world flowed through the country leaving a rich legacy of historical treasures from ornate palaces and grand cathedrals to grand merchants houses and imposing castles. Throw in a rich mix of history that stretches from roman ruins through medieval monasteries to Napoleonic battlefields and you have an intoxicating mix.

Scenic Delights

All these historical wonders are situated amongst some of the most delightful scenery you can imagine. Inland from the towering ocean cliffs and huge beaches bordering the Atlantic, the scenic variety is just astonishing ranging from sparkling rivers, bound by lush rolling terraces, to rugged mountain lakes and streams hidden away amongst ancient forests of cork, oak and pine. Whether you are sampling a fine vintage amidst lush vineyards, happening upon a picturesque village on a remote mountain trail or sailing along a lazy river, the natural beauty will be a lasting impression of your holiday to Portugal.

Culinary Wonders

Portuguese food and wine are more than a match for their illustrious settings. Fresh and unfussy, the emphasis is on the best produce, beautifully prepared; think rustic seafood stews, hearty marinated pork sandwiches, piri-piri chicken and of course the famous custard tart, Pastel de Nata. Wash it all down with a zingy Vinho Verdi or perhaps even a glass of port!
