Roaring resorts, picturesque beaches, idyllic cliffs with staggering views, that’s what Portugal has to offer, right? Of course you’re right, but take a look inside any Portugal travel guide and you’ll see you’re barely scratching the surface.

...an Aladdin’s cave of lesser-known wonders that will captivate you...

Portugal is home to all these things and more, and offers an Aladdin’s cave of lesser-known wonders that will captivate you and leave you counting the days until your next holiday. For those looking for some Portugal travel tips we recommend taking a short trip away from the hubbub of the tourist centres where you’ll discover medieval castles, hillside villages, hidden coastline coves and meadows full of flowers. And that’s not mentioning the World Heritage towns like Sintra and Evora, with their mind-blowing historic architecture – enough to keep even the most enthusiastic of culture vultures entertained. But it’s with its charming cities that Portugal really beats the competition. The stylish cities of Lisbon and Porto wow the crowds with their medieval alleys, Baroque churches and Neoclassical squares during the day, only to put on a party to remember at night.

Of course, for those who like to mix their dancing with a bit of sand and sea there’s always the Algarve with its mile after mile of pristine beaches. Take a flight to Faro and choose between the multitudes of family-friendly beach resorts that dot Portugal’s southern coast. Whether you’re after a pint of good old Newcastle Brown Ale, or a cold glass of Vinho Verde you’re sure to find something that suits your taste in the Algarve. And then, of course, for those who want to get away completely there is always the paradise island of Madeira with its outstanding natural beauty, world-class resorts and year-round good weather. Fancy a winter holiday anyone?
Whatever your reason to get away, Portugal won’t disappoint. Great days out in the sun, or walks in the mountains; all night parties in the capital or boozy afternoons on the coast of the Algarve, there’s a lot more to Portugal than you think. If you need some travel advice, the best available is to go and see it for yourself!
