Portugal is small enough that Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve fit comfortably into ten days, but the order matters for flights and trains. Our experts sequence the trip so you spend more time on tiled streets and beaches and less in transit.

Why Portugal for your vacation

Portugal offers old-world charm at an easy pace: Lisbon's hilly neighborhoods and yellow trams, Porto's riverside wine lodges, and the Algarve's golden cliffs and sheltered coves. Add the fairytale palaces of Sintra, the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, fresh seafood, pastel de nata and heartfelt fado music. It is one of Western Europe's most welcoming and safe countries, English is widely spoken, and the Atlantic light makes every photograph better. For US travelers it is also among the shortest transatlantic flights, which makes it a natural first stop on a European trip.

What's included in a Portugal package

  • Round-trip flights on major airlines from your nearest US gateway to Lisbon or Porto, with open-jaw routings available.
  • Hotels from restored palaces and boutique guesthouses to beach resorts, at well-known resort brands and independent hotels, with breakfast included at most properties.
  • Rail tickets between Lisbon and Porto, private transfers to the Algarve, and airport pickups.
  • Optional add-ons such as a Sintra and Cascais day tour, a Douro Valley wine cruise, a Benagil sea-cave boat trip, a fado dinner or a Madeira or Azores extension.
  • All-inclusive or half-board plans available at selected Algarve and island resorts.

Every piece is confirmed together so changes are coordinated. Call for current pricing on your dates.

Best time to visit Portugal

Portugal has a mild Atlantic-Mediterranean climate. April through June and September through October are ideal, with warm sunshine, comfortable evenings and lighter crowds. July and August are hot and busy, especially in the Algarve, though Atlantic air keeps the coast pleasant. Lisbon and Porto enjoy mild winters with occasional rain, so November through March works well for city breaks and lower demand. The Algarve is sunny nearly year-round, but sea temperatures are cool outside summer. Madeira is springlike in every season, and the Douro's harvest in September and October is a highlight for wine lovers.

Where to stay: areas and resort styles

In Lisbon, Baixa and Chiado put you in the walkable heart, Alfama offers old-quarter atmosphere and river views, Príncipe Real is chic and leafy, and Belém is calmer near the monuments. Cascais and Estoril offer seaside stays within a short train ride. In Porto, the Ribeira waterfront and Baixa are classic, while Vila Nova de Gaia across the river sits beside the port wine lodges. In the Algarve, Albufeira and Vilamoura are lively resort hubs, Lagos and Carvoeiro suit couples and families seeking cliffs and coves, and Tavira in the east is quieter and traditional. Styles range from pousadas in historic buildings and Douro wine estates to golf resorts and all-inclusive beachfront properties with kids' clubs.

Things to do in Portugal

  • Ride tram 28 through Alfama, visit São Jorge Castle and the Jerónimos Monastery, and taste pastel de nata in Belém.
  • Explore Sintra's Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, then watch the sunset at Cabo da Roca, mainland Europe's westernmost point.
  • Tour a port wine cellar in Gaia and cruise the Douro under Porto's six bridges.
  • Take a boat to the Benagil caves and walk the Seven Hanging Valleys trail in the Algarve.
  • Hear live fado in a Lisbon tavern and browse the Time Out Market's food stalls.
  • Extend to Madeira for levada walks or the Azores for volcanic lakes and whale watching.

Getting there from the US

Nonstop flights from New York, Newark, Boston, Washington and Miami to Lisbon take roughly 6.5 to 8 hours, and several gateways also serve Porto. From the West Coast, expect roughly 11 to 14 hours with one connection. Faro in the Algarve is reached via Lisbon or a European hub, and Madeira and the Azores have connections through Lisbon. Portugal is part of the Schengen Area: US passport holders may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa, with a passport valid at least three months beyond departure. ETIAS travel authorization is being introduced — verify current requirements before travel. Portugal uses the euro, the language is Portuguese with English common in cities and resorts, and the mainland is on Western European Time, five hours ahead of US Eastern Time; the Azores are one hour behind the mainland.

Who this package suits

Couples and honeymooners enjoy Lisbon's rooftops, Douro wine estates and Algarve cliffside hotels; many upgrade the flight through our business class or first class reservation service. Families favor Algarve resorts with calm beaches and kids' clubs, plus Lisbon's Oceanarium. Seniors appreciate the short flight, gentle pace and private transfers on Lisbon's hills — see our senior travel reservations. Golf groups and celebration trips to the Algarve can keep everyone on one schedule with our group travel flights service. Solo travelers find Portugal safe, affordable to navigate and very friendly.

Portugal is ideal for seniors: a short flight, mild weather, good healthcare and friendly locals. Lisbon's hills are steep, so we book hotels with elevators, arrange private transfers and pace sightseeing with tram rides and tuk-tuk tours.
