Portugal

Portugal is a compact but endlessly varied corner of Europe, where golden beaches, historic cities, and lush wine valleys meet in perfect harmony. Explore Lisbon’s pastel-tiled hills and buzzing riverfront, savour port wine and riverside cafés in Porto, or head to the Algarve’s dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. You could even venture farther afield to the volcanic landscapes of Madeira and the Azores. Whether you’re after a culture-rich city break, family-friendly sun-and-sea time, or walking and wine adventures through Portugal’s diverse countryside, it offers something for every kind of traveller without stretching your travel time from the UK.
