Portugal
Experience culture, nature and hospitality
With a combination of a Mediterranean influence and the coolness of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is known for its mild, sunny climate and diverse landscapes - from the beautiful beaches on the coast to the golden plains of the Alentejo, from the green mountains in the interior to the quiet, green character of the Azores and Madeira islands.
Furthermore, Portugal is known for its long history of conquests and discoveries far beyond its borders; for its imposing heritage full of the milestones of a glorious past; for its always dynamic culture; for its unique, delicious cuisine full of flavors and aromas ... And finally for its relaxed, simple and unparalleled attitude.
The Portuguese are known for their hospitality and the pleasure of welcoming people to their table, and they pride themselves on their products and uniquely characterful cuisine.
Exquisite sun-ripened fruit, lambs growing up in flower-strewn meadows, free-range pigs eating acorns under oak forests: these are just a few of the many qualities of Portuguese cuisine. With an extensive coastline, fish and shellfish are a mandatory part of Portuguese cuisine.
Contemporary Portugal is a land of great contrasts; it is modern in many ways, but is still firmly rooted in the traditional past. It is the land of discoveries, fado, of ancient traditions linked to the vast sea, but at the same time a modern, cosmopolitan country with countless opportunities for relaxation and places to visit with your family, your partner or on your own.
