Portugal

A nation shaped by its illustrious history. It is original, warm, and alluring, with a subtle and undeniable charm.

Portugal is a country in southern Europe, located on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Original, warm and seductive, Portugal has a discreet but undeniable charm. Its location on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of the country's culture and history, including gastronomy, traditions and much of the country's architecture dating back to the 16th to 19th centuries, when Portugal was a powerful maritime empire.

From the contrasts of secretive Lisbon to popular Porto or verdant Sintra, from wise Évora to the vineyards of the Douro or the magnificent beaches of the Algarve, this former maritime power will reveal to you the unsuspected riches of a country with an identity moulded by a glorious past and an erudite culture structured since the Renaissance.

Off the coast of Portugal, in the immensity of the Atlantic, nature has created two archipelagos of infinite harmony and beauty: Madeira and the Azores. The former, much sought after for its mild climate, offers an unparalleled variety of colours and landscapes with its green mountains, terraced crops, tropical flora, volcanic rocks and rugged coastlines. A paradise for nature lovers and hikers!The second is the Azores, an ecotourism paradise, known for its unspoilt landscapes of breathtaking natural beauty, unique volcanic properties, lagoons that inspire ancient legends, whale watching, delicious food and endless opportunities for adventure. Excellent gastronomy, award-winning wines and hospitality make Portugal a paradise for its visitors.
