Why Portugal? We know you enjoy travelling, so why even bother to attempt to refuse our suggestion: discover this country�s unique charms � in terms of her monuments, modern architecture, museums and intricate details...Why wait?

Ever tasted a glass of Port Wine? It�s been produced for over 250 years in the Alto Douro Wine Growing region � one of the finest places to appreciate it, together with the city of Oporto, after which this famous nectar is named. Both places have been classified as World Heritage sites by UNESCO, together with the Rupestrian engravings in the Foz C�a Archaeological Park � a genuine open-air museum founded over 25,000 years ago!

But the list of World Heritage sites doesn�t end there... There�s a total of thirteen sites, including Angra do Hero�smo, built in the fifteenth century in the heart of the Atlantic ocean. Come and see for yourself.

We also house magnificent art works in our museums, such as the Gr�o Vasco Museum in Viseu or the Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, two leading museums that shouldn�t be missed.

Continue your trip through Portuguese culture with a shift in landscape. Wander calmly through the Alentejo�s plains and prepare to be amazed by what the region has to offer.

You can be sure to enjoy yourself, if only because it�s Carnival time...there�s a contagious party atmosphere in the Algarve or Madeira.
