Portugal
The land of the fado
-
From the rugged Atlantic coast to the dramatic Serra da Estrela, from the haunting airs of the fado singers to the beauty of its Moorish architecture and glamorous beaches of Algarve, the land of Portugal is a rich and ancient tapestry. Its culinary traditions, including seafood and wines, are second to none and its proud history seems to infuse everything with an irresistible charm and appeal.

Lisbon
The warm climate and reliable Portuguese sunshine welcome you to the green and fertile region of the Tagus Valley, dominated by Lisbon, the capital. Travel around Lisbon on its trams and funiculars, or the modern metro, whose stations are authentic underground works of art. Walking around Lisbon is a unique experience of Portuguese pavements, tiled houses and wrought-iron verandas. Here the night is enjoyed to the full especially on the riverside, with its wealth of sidewalk cafés, bars and discos, the Avenida 24 de Julho, and in the more traditional Bairro Alto or Alfama where you can enjoy the fado, songs from the Portuguese soul, played here in the Lisbon style.
