There's so much to see - varied landscapes, historic towns and cities, nature reserves and parks, mountains and beaches... all so close at hand! If you think we're exaggerating, find out for yourself...
Visit slate villages in the centre of Portugal. Ascend to Marvão in order to admire the immense landscapes of the Alentejo. Tour majestic castles dotted along the border. Visit World Heritage sites such as the Alto Douro winegrowing region- the source of Port Wine – and make sure you taste and savour it. Enjoy the Christopher Columbus festival in the island of Porto Santo.
Why not follow in the footsteps of the Infante D. Henrique - the mastermind behind the Portuguese discoveries who was born in Oporto in the North and then moved to Sagres in the South where he founded a navigation school. As you travel from north to south, discover the many wonders of Portugal along the way. And since you're special... take a well-deserved rest and enjoy the finest gastronomy in the country’s luxury Manor Houses and Pousadas.
You'll soon realise we’re not exaggerating. Visit Portugal and prepare to be amazed! |
