Lisbon, Porto and the Douro Valley

Discover its vibrant cities and majestic palaces, taste Portuguese port and wine and explore the UNESCO-protected Douro Valley. 

Today Portugal is a country of great contrasts; it’s modern in many ways yet still has one foot firmly set in its past. Full of history and appeal and spared from large-scale industrialisation, its well-preserved medieval towns with their tiny cobbled streets are delightful to explore. 

There is so much to discover, including bustling cities, grand palaces and cathedrals, the beautiful Douro Valley and delicious produce, most famously port dessert wine.

Get to know Portugal's largest cities - Lisbon and Porto - with guided tours and time at leisure to explore alone. Venture out into the countryside, following the winding path of the River Douro, and sites of historical and religious significance.
