Portugal offers not only a coastline that is among the most beautiful in Europe but also a hinterland of great beauty. From north to south, the landscapes change, the atmosphere differs, yet happiness is always present.

From the wild beaches of the Alentejo to the magical ones of the Algarve, Portugal is an ideal destination to enjoy the sea. In Lagoa, Lagos, Vilamoura, Nazaré or on the islands of Madeira and the Azores, you are bound to find your own little corner of paradise. Surfing enthusiasts can go to Ericeira, known worldwide for its exceptional waves and coastline. But many other water activities are possible: sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, kitesurfing... Inland, you can go hiking, walking, biking or horseback riding, rafting, canoeing, climbing, paragliding, while always benefiting from a sure ally: good weather!

The two main cities of the country are not to be missed. Lisbon, the capital, has an outstanding heritage. To discover it, stroll through the medieval district of Alfama and its Saint George's castle, the Baixa and its monumental squares, then the district of Belém for its tower and its prodigious Hieronymites Monastery.

In Porto, let yourself be seduced by the historical center and discover the Sé cathedral (12th century), the São Francisco church with its gold-covered interiors, the Clerks' tower, architectural symbol of the city. But also take the time to visit more contemporary buildings like the Casa da Música and the Serralves Museum.

Many other enchanting places await you. Next to Lisbon, discover the fabulous Sintra, favorite residence of the kings of Portugal, the dazzling Évora with its Roman walls, its Moorish alleys and its palaces, Coïmbra and its ancient university, the natural parks of the Tagus and Sado estuaries, the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalh...
