Lisbon is perhaps Portugal's most popular and affordable city where resort spas, hotel spas and many popular health and wellness spas just add to the many enticements. Its charming architecture, diverse cultural population, delicious seafood, intriguing tilework and nonstop nightlife make for the best of everything Portugal has to offer. Don’t miss an evening bar-hopping in Bairro Alto while listening to the contemporary music and Portuguese blues mix!

Visitors to Portugal are immediately drawn to its beautifully restored towns and well preserved architecture features of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites including popular Evora, Batalha and Alcobaça. If you have an interest in monuments, Evora and Coimbra are certainly must see spots when touring.

Other highly nature areas lie in the Minho, Lima, and the Douro valley. The beauty and rural customs of the Minho Valley are absolutely spectacular as is the gorge located directly in the Douro valley.

Another gem is the city of Oporto, located at the very end of Douro Valley, directly on the sea. Quite famous for its port wine and an excellent starting point for exploring everything Portugal has to offer, your trip would not be complete without a stop here.

If it’s beaches you seek, look no further than the Algarve coast with its breath-taking beautiful stretches of beach. The rest of the coastline, outside of Lisbon and Porto, are truly places for relaxing, pure Portuguese and most isolated. Great stretches of sand can be found there for the sunbathers, especially along the northern Costa Verde, near Viano do Castelo. The beaches near southern Alentejo are also the most remote and probably the least busy. Come and see why tourists and those seeking the perfect spa vacation getaway are drawn to Portugal year after year.
