Portugal

Perched on the Western edge of Europe and bordered by the vast Atlantic, Portugal is home to one of the continent’s most criminally underappreciated capitals, a bewildering array of breathtaking landscapes and a sensational cuisine that draws heavily from the sea.

While the cobbled streets and atmospheric tascas of Lisbon are one of the country’s great draws, there’s plenty to see and do outside of the capital, too. The long and diverse coastline is peppered with world-class beaches, the rolling hills of the Douro Valley produce some of the region’s best wines and the country’s hilltop towns charm and enchant. Historic, picturesque and undeniably enjoyable, Portugal is a fantastic holiday destination.
