Portugal Holidays

Medieval castles, long stretches of golden sand and picturesque villages are all highlights of this compact and fascinating country. Ideal for a fly drive, hiking and cycling holidays, an exciting city break or just a well-deserved beach break on the sunny Algarve; Portugal has so much to offer.

Built across seven hills overlooking the Atlantic, Lisbon is saturated with dramatic Gothic architecture and just a short drive from the rolling green countryside, charismatic manor houses and national parks of Sintra. Explore further to experience Coimbra, home to one of the oldest universities in the world and inland, Evora’s 14th Century city walls hold Roman ruins, Neolithic monuments and a stunning 18th Century cathedral.

The north of Portugal offers a wonderful blend of stunning landscapes and fascinating history. The charismatic city of Porto sits at the mouth of the Douro River, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, while to the east is one of the most scenic drives in Europe, along the winding river into the spectacular Douro Valley.

With more than 800km of coastline Portugal is home to some of the best beaches in Europe. The Algarve's stunning sands and wealth of other attractions makes it a family favourite along Portugal’s sunny south coast. Isolated Madeira, in the Atlantic Ocean is unique in every sense; heavily influenced by not so nearby Lisbon, its enchanting history and warm year round temperatures mean it’s always a great time to visit.
