Although Portugal shares the Iberian Peninsula with its bordering neighbour, Spain, don’t make the mistake of grouping the two together. Portugal boasts its own very unique cultural heritage and strong national identity- that has been defined by its rich history throughout the ages with a range of influences including the Celtics, Romans, and the Moors.
Portugal was the first global empire ever established and played a major role in the 15th-16th centuries’ Age of Discovery. Today, the country remains as an enchanting destination that lures travellers with its sandy coastal beaches, charming villages, cosmopolitan cities, countryside palaces, seafood cuisine and friendly locals.
The small country packs in incredible geographical diversity - from gorgeous mountain scenery of the North, desert-like landscape of Alentejo, and the iconic endless beaches of Algarve.
The capital, Lisbon, captivates visitors with urban/traditional mash-up, colourful houses, winding alleyways, gorgeous sunsets and café culture. Although it’s no longer an off-the-beaten-track destination- it’s easy to escape the crowds and is also pleasantly easy on the wallet as well.
