Whoever says Portugal thinks of human-sized cities, incomparably beautiful coastlines and irresistibly delicious pastèis de nata.
Stroll through Alfama in Lisbon, explore the vineyards in the Douro Valley. Climb the cliffs in the Algarve or get lost in the beauty of verdant Madeira. Portugal is a country with cuisine unparalleled anywhere else, a country with cities where Baroque can be felt right down to the paving stones. A country with earthy and powerful wines and beautiful remnants of the many cultures that once docked there. Experience the soul of Portugal, come for the whimsical coast and return for everything you never want to miss.
Portugal in winter is really worth a visit. More than that, it is a real bucket list destination. With more than 300 sunny days a year, winter here resembles spring and sunscreen is never an unnecessary luxury. Not only is the presence of the sun an added bonus, but the tranquility that prevails on the Iberian Peninsula is also an asset. Hiking on the expansive beaches of the Algarve, touring the always sunny Madeira, city-tripping in Lisbon or hiking in the Azores, the choice is yours. Whatever you decide to do, two things are certain: your winter vacation in Portugal will be wonderful and once you've been there, you're guaranteed to want to go back
