Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of Albufeira. We weren’t blown away by this party town for teenage kids, but this hotel provided a peaceful haven. Very quiet, great facilities, fantastic staff. Breakfast was also extraordinary, we enjoyed it very much.

A unique place. The building has been finished with exceptional taste. The owner is a charming man with interesting knowledge and exceptional manners. You can count on him to help you with many things. Staying at Quinta do Noemi is like visiting a family who tactfully gives you space to yourself.

Torel Royal Court has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a garden and terrace in Guimarães. This 5-star hotel offers a bar.
Guest review
This hotel accomplishes that rare feat of feeling like luxury without adding a hint of pretension. We stayed for four nights and wished we could have stayed for 10. The hotel is an immaculately restored property in the heart of the old downtown of Guimaraes. The designers were thoughtful with their restoration, in that the hotel is beautiful without ruining the character of the street on which it is situated. There is attention to detail throughout the building, be that in the furnishings, the art and decor, or most notably, the service. The staff at Conquistador Palace made us truly feel at home. Tanya, Soraia and Diana all staffed the front desk and served breakfast and evening drinks with grace, kindness and professionalism. We particularly appreciated Soraia's efforts to go above and beyond by making non-alcoholic cocktails, which she did admirably well. The kitchen and cleaning staff were equally kind and professional. We appreciated Alexis's service and generous attention towards us. The food served at breakfast was a step above what we saw at other excellent properties in Portugal, and it was always a delightful way for us to start our day. The staff also helped advise us as we explored the area around Guimaraes, giving us wonderful dinner ideas and making reservations on our behalf. In all, the stay at Conquistador Palace was the very best part of our two-week trip across Portugal, and we look forward to returning.

The wine tasting, the picnic near the river, the walk in the vineyards were awesome. The service in general was fantastic. Carlos told us so much valuable information about wines that was so interesting. The views were unbelievable. I liked also our room, its style, view, size, comfort, temperature - everything.
