A Sweet Adventure on the Edge of Europe
Portugal is the only place in the world where you can indulge in divine pastel de nata in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and no one will judge you. Pastel de nata is a cultural treasure that should be protected by UNESCO, alongside the Jerónimos Monastery or the cultural landscape of Sintra.
Beyond Porto, Lisbon, the clear-eyed Portuguese, and the globally renowned green wine, pastel de nata are the main but not only reasons to visit Portugal.
Nature, Weather, and People of Portugal
Portugal boasts diverse landscapes, from sunny beaches in the south to mountains and vineyards in the north. The summer season extends until October, but even in winter, it's rarely getting cold. The Portuguese are friendly and hospitable, proud of their history and culture, and eager to share them with you.
Porto, Lisbon, Faro
Porto will enchant you with its stylish and colourful urban space. You can spend the whole day strolling along the Douro River and admiring the architecture of the old town. Porto is also famous for its wine, especially port wine.
The international capital, Lisbon, is a place where history harmoniously blends with modernity. Stylish yellow retro trams traversing the city are like time machines: you hop on them and travel a century forward or backwards in time. From the hills of Lisbon, you can enjoy magnificent views of the city and the ocean. No wonder Lisbon is called the San Francisco of Europe and the most photogenic city in Portugal.
Faro, located at the southern tip of Portugal, is the heart of the sunny Algarve region. Known for its golden beaches, crystal-clear waters, and Roman archaeological finding
Madeira and the Azores
Seems like these picturesque islands are not part of Portugal at all. While the language is the same, their remoteness from the mainland makes them very different.
Located on the African side, Madeira is known as the island of eternal spring. It's a paradise where people are used to constantly savouring something: nature, mountain hikes, and local wine.
The Azores, an archipelago of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, can be compared to European Hawaii. Here you can enjoy volcanic landscapes, hot springs, and breathtaking nature.

Description of the resorts
Madeira
In the diverse nature, one can relish all four seasons in a day. The true feeling of spring starts at Funchal's hotel with birdsong. Sun rises, blood pressure drops, coffee steams, floral scent calls to the terrace. Hot summer arrives on sandy Calheta or Machico beaches. Cooler autumn winds, magical fog, rain showers greet in higher mountain forests. And if lucky, winter's snow may adorn Pico Ruivo's 1861 m peak trail. Ronaldo, a Madeira native, surely trained on these paths in youth. Columbus sailed here; flights now reach Madeira in half a day.
Faro
In medieval times, Faro, situated at Portugal's southern tip, was thought to mark the world's end, where only endless sea lay beyond. Why venture elsewhere from this haven of sun, beaches, and natural beauty? A visit to Faro encompasses not just the city but the entire Algarve region. Here, you'll find numerous quaint towns with low-rise colonial-style architecture – Tavira, Albufeira, Portimao, Lagos, and more. Regardless of your direction, all roads in the Algarve lead to the beach. However, in Faro and Tavira, the beaches aren't within the city but a few kilometers away, on long, slender sandy dunes resembling islands. Access is possible via bridge or a short ferry journey.
Azores
The Azores Islands, with their emerald mountains and crater lakes, are nature's masterpiece. Nine Azorean isles rise as volcanoes from the Atlantic depths. Perfect for mountain hikes, volcano climbs, kayaking, and ocean dives. The Azores' unique location makes it prime for whale and dolphin watching. Most residents dwell between São Miguel and UNESCO-protected Terceira. Other islands host towns and fishing villages, yet often, only cows graze on million-dollar mountain slopes.
