Overview

Portugal’s charm is intoxicating. The country is small in scale but immense in the atmosphere; a wide curl of white sand runs alongside the glimmering blue Atlantic, dotted with beaches and fishing villages, places to swim and nap, drink fresh juice, and eat fat grilled mackerel. Further inland, lovely little regions of fairytale palaces and whimsical towns invite you to explore with spontaneity. Whether you’re sailing down the river Duoro, listening to the soul music of Fado or drinking rosé in the sunshine on your solo holiday or group tour package, Portugal is precisely where you want to be for a spell of bliss and beauty.
