Hidden Gems of Portugal Vacation Packages


Most travelers who visit Portugal get to see Lisbon and Porto, but what about the hidden gems? These towns and cities are located along the coast, in the interior plains of the Alentejo, and on Portugal's wild Azores Islands. Many are integral to modern Portuguese history, from its past as a maritime empire and others from the times of the Moors and Romans. These lesser-known attractions go beyond the popular tourist destinations to get to the heart of Portugal. Best of all, they offer unique experiences and opportunities to connect with the country’s culture and natural beauty.

Please note we do not offer hotels or activities in all of these cities at this time.

Highlights of Portugal

Explore Portugal

  • The Alentejo

    Plains extend as far as the eye can see; stretching from the mighty Tejo (Tagus) River towards the Algarve and framed in the east by the Sao Mamede mountains on the Spanish border. This is the Alentejo!

  • Coasts Near Lisbon

    Nearby Lisbon, sunny shores like the Costa Azul and Silver Coast beckon with a dizzying array of culture, activities, food, music, art, and relaxation. You simply can't go wrong combining Lisbon and its surrounding coastlines!

  • The Algarve

    The Algarve region may be best known for its glorious beaches, some of the most popular in Europe in fact. In the east, centered around Faro, a calmer way of life unfolds and quiet towns and unpopulated beaches define the area. The west side, where Albufeira is the largest city, is well-known for its nightlife, where the party doesn't stop until dawn.

  • Douro Valley

    The Douro River Valley is one of the most beautiful areas of Portugal. Much of it was settled long before the time of the Romans, and its history is evident when viewing the archaeological sites and megalithic monuments which dot the countryside. But above all, the Douro Valley is best-known for its fortified wines.
