Portugal

Culture-Rich, Sun-Kissed, and Unforgettable

Portugal Vacation Packages and Tours

From Lisbon to Porto, a trip to Portugal will be filled with memorable experiences and sights.

The rocky coastline of Portugal’s Iberian Peninsula skirts the Atlantic Ocean and provides the backdrop for this diverse land where 10 million people reside. The deep blue waters have floated the famed ships of Portuguese explorers centuries ago and have then and now provided the Portuguese people with their main staples: cod and sardines. An independent country since the 11th century, Portugal has its own traditions, cuisine and culture which has remained relatively unchanged. With Spain flanking one side, the two countries may border each other but are very different, from language to cuisine to culture.

The Douro River in the north nourishes the terraced vineyards of one of the oldest wine appellations in the world, while the Tagus River waters the flat and fertile Ribatejo plain in the northwest. The Algarve is a paradise of wide, sandy beaches and surfers, while the orange roof tiles of Lisbon and Porto house people of cosmopolitan cities. A country dripping in history and tradition fused with modern fun; the Portuguese are an emotive people, passionate about festas and watching football, their Catholic faith and their love of their country. Maybe this pride comes from the country’s foundation in 1143 or from the fact that Portugal was a world power during its “Age of Discovery” in the 15th and 16th centuries. Ancient monasteries, Roman temples, Moorish influences and medieval castles, Portugal’s history adds a golden hue to any adventure here. Sip on crisp vinho verde beachside, boat the black-blue Douro, hike the surreal peaks of Serra da Estrela, and swoon over haunting Fado music at a Lisbon tavern; Portugal is full of distinctive experiences.

Traditions transcend time in pastoral Portugal

Cliffs to castles, port wine to pastries, Portugal is rife with pleasures.  The Atlantic Ocean cups the one side of the country where rocky outcrops and slips of sand offer themselves up to visitors.  The interior, a historic fantasy, complete with an undulating countryside full of stories and intrigue, Portugal is as picturesque as it is interesting. The winding Douro flanked by ancient vineyards, the magical islands of Madeira and The Azores, finding your happy place is a piece of pão-de-ló (cake).
