A gem of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal is paradise. On the coasts, sun-soaked beaches meet breathtaking hillside towns all down the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. In the cities, ancient structures rise up shoulder-to-shoulder with modern living. Everywhere you turn, you can find mouth-watering food paired with delicious local wines, medieval architecture paired with Moorish artistic influence, and friendly locals paired with charming attitudes. Experience this amazing journey that takes you to Porto, Lisbon + Sao Miguel, Azores!

In 1996, UNESCO recognised Porto's historic centre as a World Heritage Site. Explore this captivating city steeped in history and built with an artistic architectural eye. Take in the grandeur of Praça da Liberdade Square, Sao Bento Train Station and its iconic azulejo tiles, the Porto Cathedral, and more. Ride a Traditional river cruise down the Douro River. Enjoy an incredible view of the Porto skyline before heading into wine cellars for tours and tastings. You'll discover why Porto is regarded as a culinary hotspot. Introduction Video of Porto, Click HERE. Must eats in Porto, Click HERE.

Sao Miguel, Azores: Rich in culture, abundant in wildlife and one of the best whale watching spots in the world, Sao Miguel is the largest island in the 9 Island Azores archipelago. Dazzling lakes, sandy beaches and dramatic mountains provide a stunning backdrop among tea plantations and pineapple groves. The island boasts shimmering blue lakes and hypnotic emerald slopes brimming with endemic flora and teeming with indigenous creatures. Capture panoramas of fascinating villages like Furnas, built inside a volcanic crater. Views of Sete Cidades, twin blue and green caldera lakes on the crater’s rim is nothing short of spectacular.

Lisbon, Portugal: Spread across steep hillsides that overlook the Rio Tejo, Lisbon offers all the delights you’d expect of Portugal’s star attraction. Gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries and quaint museums are all part of the colorful cityscape, but the real delights of discovery lie in wandering the narrow lanes of Lisbon’s lovely backstreets. The Lisbon experience encompasses so many things, from enjoying a fresh pastry and bica (espresso) on a petite leafy plaza to window-shopping in elegant Chiado. It’s mingling with Lisboêtas at a neighborhood festival or watching the sunset from the old Moorish castle. Video Tour of Lisbon, Click HERE. Local delicacies Click HERE.
