Portugal Travel Agent Specialist

Porto

Working as a travel agent specialist for Portugal has given me a keen insight into what travelers love about the country. Therefore, I can steer you in the right direction when it comes to planning a trip to this interesting and special place.As a tourist, you'll have access to a wide range of scenery's in Portugal. Within a short distance, the landscape can dramatically transform. Therefore, as a visitor, you will never be more than a few hours away from the sun-kissed coasts of the mainland, pastures in the or the south’s rolling plains.Subtropical paradise islands, such as Madeira and the Azores, are ideal for nature and outdoor enthusiasts. Several beaches around the Sintra coast, including Ericeira., are ideal for surfing. In contrast, quieter shores are found on the opposite side of the Tejo River. From the coast of Costa da Caparica to the hills of Serra do Arrábida, you will experience some of Portugal's most magnificent coastal scenery.Only in Portugal can you find magnificent medieval monasteries and enchanting vineyards and wheatfields. Travel to Lisbon and enjoy shopping in its historic areas where you can listen to fado music and appreciate its Manueline architecture. The buildings’ design takes its name from King Manuel who ruled Portugal from 1495 to 1521. During this time--the Age of Discoveries--the people in Portugal experienced a new-found wealth and confidence.From one hilltop to the next, Lisbon spreads over a variety of neighborhoods. For centuries, locals have lived in the bairros of Alfama and Castelo where the traditional fado music can still be heard in backstreet eateries. The heart of Lisbon’s vibrant nightlife is the Bairro Alto. Along the Lisbon coast, you will find Mafra’s imposing castle and oceanside resorts as well. Located outside the western suburbs, a spectacular rocky coastline, on Europe’s westernmost point, ascends to a fantasy forested hillside, featuring architectural treasures, such as the Palacio de Pena. The expansive Palacio da Mafra is a monument and tribute to King John V that sits farther north with its lavishly decorated chapel.The city of Lisbon is also home to two of Portugal's most important cultural institutions: the Serralves Museum of Modern Art and Casa da Musica. Tras-os-Montes is an isolated area with varying temperatures, minimal development, and an abundance of natural beauty. Highlights include Serra do Barroso's untamed, boulder-strewn landscapes, Chaves' charming spa town, Bragança's medieval bastion, and the Parque Natural de Montesinho's tranquil and stunning views and treks.In Beira Alta, the tallest mountain range in the country shows off the granite peaks of Serra da Estrela - a place that draws walkers and skiers throughout the winter months. Coimbra, Portugal's third-largest city, is a treasure trove of culture and history while Luso, a tranquil spa town, is a great place to unwind on holiday. In Beira Litoral, the coastal town of Aveiro has an exceptional nautical legacy, which is clearly seen in its colorful moliceiros. Moliceiros represent flat-bottomed and vibrant boats, once used to collect algae from lagoons and are now used for touring Aveiro.As your travel agent professional for all things Portugal, I can provide you with an itinerary that will meet your travel needs and expectations.
