Family vacationers can opt to have a geographical tour of Portugal highlighted by several UNESCO World Heritage sites with sightseeings that include the paleolithic etchings in Foz Coa, the old monuments of Lisbon, historical centers in Oporto and “laurissilva” forests in Madeira island.
Meantime, couples can take a romantic tour of Portugal’s famous wine routes, consisting of vineyards found along the grape-growing regions of Madeira, Bucelas and Azores. Dazzling days and heady nights await wine route followers in verdant greens of Minho (famous for its vinho verde grape varieties) and the charming terraces of Douro (home of the port wine).
