North to South in Portugal
Portugal packs a punch. With its temperate climate, storied past, and vibrant cultural tapestry, this compact country is flourishing.
Positioned on the southwestern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal's landscape is diverse and captivating. The historic north is home to the World Heritage city of Porto and the Douro Valley. At the country's center lie the slow-paced Alentejo region and the vibrant capital city, Lisbon. The balmy Algarve basks on the southern Atlantic coastline, where cosmopolitan hotspots like Portimão and Albufeira attract visitors year-round. For the adventurous, Portugal's proximity to the neighboring islands of Madeira and the Azores archipelago offers easy escapes for a quick change of scenery.
