A nation of extraordinary maritime heritage, sun-drenched Atlantic beauty, and a soulful cultural depth that reveals itself slowly and rewards every traveller who takes the time to look beyond the obvious — where Lisbon’s hilltop viewpoints offer some of Europe’s most romantically beautiful cityscapes, the golden cliffs of the Algarve plunge into the clearest waters of the Atlantic, and the UNESCO-listed palaces of Sintra rise from a forested hillside like monuments from an enchanted kingdom.
