Resort holidays in Portugal
What to expect on resort holidays in Portugal
Portugal is surrounded by sea on two sides, which is one reason for the year-round mild climate. The national identity of the Portuguese is expressed in the respect for old traditions, the Portuguese language and historical monuments. Roman ruins, medieval towns and old cloisters are scattered throughout the country.
The cultural traces of the Moors, who once conquered the country, have largely been preserved. The coastal location also has an impact on the excellent Portuguese cuisine: every menu offers a wide selection of delicious seafood and fish dishes. Another highlight is the outstanding Portuguese wines. Discover the Port wine in the name-giving city Porto, or sip a glass of white sangria in the Algarve.
Highlights of your resort holiday in Portugal
- Secluded, romantic beaches: The long coastal line provides you with many beautiful coves to enjoy your next beach holiday.
- A unique natural landscape: Whether the coast of the Algarve with its impressive rocks and caves or the Douro valley where the grapes for port wine grow – Portugal has much to offer.

- A variety of optional excursions: Cities like Lisbon or Porto, the royal palace of Sintra or the most western point of the European mainland. There is something for every taste.
