Holidays in Portugal take you to Lisbon's Manueline (Portuguese Gothic) Belém Tower, Porto's port wine caves and the Algarve's championship golf courses. On holiday in Portugal, taste crisp green wines, fresh seafood and sweet custard tarts, and meet Portugal's hospitable people.
Explore Portugal's distinct regions, from the lush vineyards of the Douro in the north to the craggy coastline of Alentejo in south-west Portugal. Enjoy holidays on the sandy beaches of Portugal's Estoril Coast and play golf in the Algarve. Or visit the mid-Atlantic Azores islands for whale watching and nature trips.
Choose Lisbon for your holiday in Portugal to take in its seafaring history, Manueline architecture and Portugal's melancholic fado music. Go on a port wine-tasting holiday in Porto or visit Guimaraes' castle where Portugal's first king, Dom Afonso Henriques, was born in 1110. Make a spiritual retreat to Baroque churches in Portugal's religious capital Braga or visit the shrine at Fatima during your Portugal holiday.
Hike through the flower-filled mountains of the Peneda Gerês National Park on your holidays in Portugal or cruise along the Douro River through port-wine growing country. Surf off Guincho beach near Lisbon and walk alongside mountain canals on holidays on Portugal's island of Madeira.
Take a big appetite on holidays to Portugal for large plates of skewered fish, steaks and roast kid. Nibble on bacalhau codfish croquettes or be brave and tuck into Porto's tripe dish. Break for pasteis de nata custard tarts and meia de leite milky coffees. Wash your meal down with Portugal's slightly sparkling vinho verde green wine, Dao region fruity reds, or port wine from the Douro on your holiday in Portugal.
