Complete Portugal

There’s a similar duality to the Portuguese countryside. While the Algarve is deservedly one of the most popular beach destinations on the continent, you can also escape to the Douro Valley wine lands or even the Azores, an archipelago that fulfils the fantasies of any outdoor adventurer. The thing that unites the country is a passion for all things food and drink. Any trip to Portugal is incomplete without a fair share of wine, coffee and pastéis de nata.

So how do you even begin to take in the many bounties of Portugal? This is where small-group travel comes in. Culture Trip, with the help of our Local Insiders, will take you from city to city, helping you explore their authentic sides, as well as taking you to the beaches, vineyards and valleys that separate them. If adrenaline is your fuel, then join us in the Azores for a volcanic expedition, where we’ll take you abseiling down waterfalls, kayaking in crater lakes and soaking in natural hot springs. Whatever your speed, Portugal is waiting to welcome you with open arms and plenty of freshly made pastries.
