Portugal — Beaches, History & the Atlantic

On the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal combines magnificent natural conditions, a mild climate and a rich historical past — making it a wonderful place for both a full beach holiday and rewarding sightseeing.

Here you can relax and also enjoy the beauty of antiquity. The town museums are well worth visiting, and at the edge of the Algarve a viewpoint opens onto the Ria Formosa nature park, with its channels and lagoons, unique plants, bright-pink flamingos and graceful storks. Beyond the beaches await water parks, marine-animal shows, yacht trips, grottoes, old fortresses and lighthouses, and excursions — including trips to neighbouring Spain and Morocco — alongside Europe's cleanest water, top golf courses and excellent diving.

Choose the sun-soaked southern Algarve, home to some of the world's finest beaches, or the island of Madeira, often called a jewel of the Atlantic. Our specialists arrange programmes for every taste — from sightseeing, business and VIP tours to children's and youth trips — handling everything from flights and visas to the choice of tour.
