Things to Do in Portugal
There are boundless things to do in Portugal and the activities can be based around the country’s love for exquisite food and wine, long stretches of coastline and gorgeous beaches, or interesting culture and traditions.
Whether you’re interested in exploring centuries old medieval hilltop towns, getting hands-on and making your own pastel de nada (custard tart), stomping some grapes in a family-owned vineyard, or just lazing the days away on a sun drenched coast while the children participate in the exclusive Scott Dunn Explorers Club, we have many wonderful experiences we can suggest. If it’s a romantic trip for two or a family adventure you’re after, let our experts suggest unforgettable experiences to enrich your holiday.
