Bordering with Spain and the Atlantic Ocean, this southern European country sits on the Iberian Peninsula and boasts 497 miles of bountiful coastline. Ranging from the quintessential Algarve golden beaches to the dramatic, end of the world cliffs lining the West coast, Portugal's coastal scenery is simply magnificent. Once a maritime world superpower, Portugal’s main cities of Porto and the capital, Lisbon, watch over the cinematic west coastline.

Historic hilltop castles such as Pena Palace and the grand architecture of Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery date back to the 1500’s. Head inland and find a verdant countryside of deep valleys and rolling hills peppered with medieval stone built villages. Explore the scenic vineyards of Douro Valley by bicycle or hike through the granite peaks of Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês. Traditional foods include chargrilled fish, smoked meats, baked bread, olives and cheese. A unified and forward thinking nation, Portuguese people are notably warm and kind hearted.
