Framed by the dramatic rollers of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is a sun-drenched tapestry of maritime history, vibrant cities, and sweeping coastlines. Explore the colorful, tile-adorned hillsides and historic tramways of Lisbon, or wander past the grand architecture and prestigious port wine cellars of Porto along the Douro River. From the fairytale palaces of Sintra and the historic Roman ruins of Évora to the golden limestone cliffs and world-class surf beaches of the Algarve, Portugal enchants at every turn. Immerse yourself in a seafaring heritage celebrated through melancholy Fado music, historic stone fortresses, and a legendary culinary scene centered on fresh seafood and pastel de nata.
