Wind up the road to the ancient castle at Sintra, and overlook the palaces of Portugal’s kings.

There is so much to see in Portugal, so many flavors to this multi-faceted culture. From the green, lush north of Portugal with its small fishing villages, to the resorts and beaches of the South, Portugal is a land that has retained both its history and mystery.

You’ll want to start your adventure in Lisbon; we recommend a chauffeur-driven tour of this large city so you don’t miss any of it, the wide European boulevards, cobblestone back streets, outdoor markets and hilltop ruins. From Lisbon you can take a trip to the famous Algarve, called “the Garden of Portugal.” Here you’ll find the country’s resort towns and endless sun-drenched beaches. Explore the coast of Portugal in the luxury of your own air-conditioned car, or go north to the Minho and valley of Douro.
