Wondering where to go and what to do in Portugal? We’ll show you the way from seeing the medieval treasures of Porto to soaking up the history of Lisbon.

Monument of the Discoveries monument in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon

View Belém Tower in Lisbon

Of all the places to see in Portugal, the Belém Tower is one of the most iconic. Your Local Specialist will lead the way on your Lisbon trip as you take in the grand tower built in the early 16th century. Make your way up the five floors on a spiral staircase and don’t forget to look out for the curious rhinoceros gargoyle on the western façade.

Portugal Covent Of Christ

See the Legacy Left in Tomar by the Knights Templar

Head to the city of Tomar where we’ll reveal the secrets of the Knights Templar, a monastic order of knights who came to Portugal in the 12th century.

Eat at Pasteis de Belem in Lisbon

I found the BEST pastel de natas at Pastéis de Belém! The queue for this little cafe is definitely well worth the wait. They began making the original Pastéis de Belém in 1837, following an ancient recipe from the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. That secret recipe is recreated here today. You can take the number 15 tram from the city centre of Lisbon and stop at Belem Tower on the way. Grab a few pastel de natas to takeaway and enjoy them by the waterfront.

Porto Douro River in Portugal

Take a Douro River Cruise in Porto

Enjoy a relaxing and leisurely cruise along the Douro River. You'll have a chance to see two medieval "world heritage" cities plus six impressive bridges, one of them the famous UNESCO-listed Eiffel bridge - a mindblowing architectural masterpiece. Afterwards, savor a typical meal in the Medieval Ribeira Quarter. Beautiful local experience!

Bacalhau

Bacalhau - dried and salted codfish - is a national obsession in Portugal and for good reason. The Portuguese say there is a different kind of Bacalhau for every day of the year, with nearly 1,000 ways to serve it. You can boil it, bake it, eat it with potatoes or rice… and almost always wash it down with a glass of Portuguese wine.

Pastéis de Nata

Make a beeline for the bakery and sink your teeth into this tasty Portuguese tart. The baked egg custard, sprinkled cinnamon and crisp pastry shell are the perfect combination and we can never stop at one. First made by Catholic Monks in the 17th century, pastéis de nata is still an all-time favourite across the country.

Port Wine

You can’t leave Porto without trying the famous Port wine. It’s made in the rolling green vineyards of the Douro Valley and shipped all over the world from Porto, and there’s no better place to try it than its hometown. Head to a wine cellar for a tasting and get to know the centuries-old stories of wine production in Porto.

When is best to visit Portugal

There’s something extra special about Portugal in the sunny days of summer, autumn and spring and we love it any time from April to October.

How to Travel Responsibly in Portugal

Bring a Reusable Bottle

Tap water is safe to drink in almost all of Portugal (if in doubt, ask your Travel Director), so bring a reusable water bottle and cut back on waste.

Head to the Market

If you want to taste the most delicious local food, shop at the markets. You’ll find the freshest fruit, vegetables, olives, pastries, bread, cheeses and wine.

Keep the Swimwear at the Beach

In Portugal, it’s considered disrespectful to wear a swimsuit anywhere but the beach, so remember to cover up once you leave the beach.
