Visit the Algarve which is the southernmost region of Portugal, renowned for its stunning coastline, dramatic sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages.

With around 300 days of glorious sunshine each year, the Algarve is hugely popular with sun worshippers.
Explore Lisbon, the mesmerizing capital city of Portugal, with monuments, huge suspension bridges, cobblestones streets and rows of colourful tiled houses. The city offers amazing castles, churches and cathedrals to explore. Visitors can climb up the ‘Christ the King’ statue (inspired by Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer) and take in the awesome views of Lisbon and the Tejo river.
