Our favourite things about Portugal
❯ The Royal Residences of Sintra
Formerly a royal residence for the Portuguese nobility in past centuries, much of the complex of Sintra has remained largely intact. This series of castles, mansions and more offers an authentic insight into Portuguese regal history, and it is only a short distance from Lisbon city centre.
❯ Wine Tasting in the Douro Valley
Famed for its wine, the Douro Valley is easily accessible from Porto. As well as wine, it is also one of the original places where port (hence the name) was allegedly created. If you’re a wine-lover, then you simply have to visit the Douro Valley, which is only a short distance from Porto.
❯ Kayaking in the Benagil Caves
Not far from the beaches of Albufeira are the Benagil Caves, a superb geological formation which is teeming with marine life. Inside the caves, you can experience a sense of serenity and calm, and outside of them, you can feel the beautiful warm sun on your skin. Explore the caves by kayak for the best experience.
❯ Island Hopping around Ria Formosa
These natural lagoons near Faro are an excellent way to spend a day out of the city when you’re visiting the capital of the Algarve. The lagoons are full of native marine life and offer a great place to swim and cool off.
