About

Discover Portugal

Portugal is one of Western Europe's best value-for-money destinations, and one of the most beautiful. Lisbon tumbles down seven hills to the Tagus estuary, with yellow trams, azulejo tiles, and fado rising from windows.

Porto, further north, is a city of granite and port wine, with its Vila Nova de Gaia caves and legendary bookshops. The Algarve in the south offers golden cliff beaches and crystal water.

The Alentejo in the middle is a land of golden plains, olive groves, and fortified white villages. Portugal changes face every 100 kilometers.
