From Porto

  • About From Porto

Traveling Portugal, we recommend three major magnificent regions to visit in the mainland including the capital Lisbon and its surroundings, the magnificent northern Porto and its surroundings, and the Algarve Region great for summer beach vacation. For offshore vacation Portugal offers the Madeira and Porto Santo Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the African coast, and the Azores’ Sao Miguel and Pico Islands, and more.
When visiting Lisbon consider a road trip to Porto or vice versa, or traveling from each of the cities to the Algarve Region for a great beach vacation.
you can also combine a visit to Porto or Lisbon with traveling to either Madeira Island or to the Azores Islands.
Spend time reading what to expect in the other country’s regions to decide if to visit and enjoy also some of their destinations and attractions.
