Portugal
Lisbon hills, Douro vineyards and the wild Algarve
Portugal, head to toe — Lisbon hills, the Douro and the wild Algarve coast.
A small country with three distinct moods. Lisbon and Sintra for design and tile, the Douro Valley for slow river days and old port houses, the Algarve for cliff-cradled beaches and championship golf. The Azores and Madeira reward the second-time visitor.
Service is gentle, food is exceptional, and the pace flatters families and honeymooners alike.
A year in Portugal
