Central Portugal
This vast area is a land steeped in history and legend. Here is a rich heritage of fortified towns and castles, idyllic villages with slate roof houses painted in white and ochre and a world of Roman columns and mosaic pavements as in Conimbriga.

Lisbon Region
To discover an area that combines city, sea and mountains is rare enough. To find such beauty and variety in such a compact area is unique. Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, can rightly stand amongst the loveliest of all European cities. Here, past and present stand side by side in harmony.

The Alentejo
A magnificent landscape of sweeping fields of wheat and sunflowers dotted with tiny whitewashed villages, forests of pine and cork and mighty rivers await visitors to the Alentejo. This beautiful, unspoilt region is ideal for walking (excluding Jul-Aug) and visits to the medieval hilltop town of Monsaraz and the UNESCO world heritage city of Evora, one of Portugal’s oldest and most interesting cities, are well worth the effort.

The Algarve
Think of the Algarve... mile upon mile of golden sands interrupted only by craggy outcrops of rock. But, the Algarve, although well known as one of the sunniest areas of Europe, is much more than just a beach lover’s paradise. For five centuries this was the land of the Moors and their intriguing legacy is evident in local architecture, music and language.
