Beach tours

Portugal has received an international award for its impeccable beaches. The coastal zone, almost 2000 km long, consists of sandy, rocky and pebble beaches with amazingly clear water. In December, the temperature here drops to 17-19 degrees Celsius. In this warm country you can swim at almost any time of the year; in the Azores the season is all year round. All beaches are city property, so you will have to pay about 10 euros daily to relax under an umbrella or on a sun lounger.

The country's most Instagrammable beach is Marinha Beach in the southern Algarve region. A paradise bay where you can relax on golden sand overlooking turquoise waters adorned with yellow rocks. Every shot here will be successful. In addition to beach relaxation, tours to the Algarve attract family travelers, lovers of club life and historical monuments. The province's resorts are ideal for sunbathing, scuba diving, excursions to caves and mountain lakes, and active entertainment.

The metropolitan Riviera or "Sunny Coast" of Lisbon is a famous resort with luxury hotels, ideal beaches and convenient logistics for visiting the main attractions.

Portugal attracts lovers of active recreation with the opportunity to surf, dive, sail on yachts with dolphins and whales against the backdrop of an exceptional natural landscape.

Portugal is an ideal destination for families with children. A high level of environmental cleanliness and safety is maintained here, and there are enough breathtaking adventures for children of all ages - from swimming with dolphins to visiting medieval fortresses.

Ideal time for a full-fledged sea holiday in Portugal: May-September.

Excursion tourism

Another interesting tourist destination in Portugal is routes to historical places, sacred buildings, castles and palaces, and natural parks of the country.

Over its centuries-long history as part of various empires, Portugal acquired and preserved many precious objects. Tours to Porto and Lisbon will take tourists through different eras, the cities will reveal the history of their streets to strangers. Small museum towns such as Óbidos show medieval life. The island of Madeira is fraught with unique routes through forests, gorges and ancient streets.

The optimal time for historical excursions is winter and autumn; low-season tours to Portugal are much cheaper. And the weather will pamper the residents of Russia with sun and summer warmth.

Gastronomic tours

Portugal is the main European destination for food tourists. Thousands of people go every year to taste the local cuisine and wines that the sunny country is rich in. The most popular delicious itinerary is tours of the island of Madeira, famous for its wines, picturesque landscapes and vibrant markets.

Gourmets from all over the world come to Portugal for freshly caught seafood, roasted chestnuts, sheep's cheese, fishermen's stews, real port wine and local desserts and drinks. Going to the colorful food market of the coastal city is a special pleasure, because here you can choose the freshest inhabitants of the ocean, try overseas fruits and unusual vegetables, and buy original souvenirs as a keepsake.

Thanks to the absence of continental winter, you can go for gastronomic experiences all year round. But, if you don’t want to overpay and watch crowds of tourists, it’s better to go in late autumn or winter.

The travel company Travel Plan "DSBW Travel Collection" will organize a variety of tours to Portugal in 2020 - one of our favorite destinations. Portugal is a wonderful country for a relaxing holiday and interesting travels. The destination is relatively expensive, mainly due to air travel to Lisbon.

We specialize more in excursion tours, of which I would like to highlight our wonderful tour first of all "Iberian Voyage" from the DSBW Travel Collection. This tour includes visits to two countries - Spain and Portugal and is relatively inexpensive due to the more economical flight to Spain.

Portugal differs from many other countries in its calmness and tranquility in everything. Even the songs are somehow calm and melodic. Portugal is also distinguished by excellent service, an abundance of attractions and the absence of “tourist extras”. And also a calm, cool climate, very fresh air from the ocean and excellent cuisine that could easily compete with its more famous neighbors. But the Portuguese don’t argue - they just cook deliciously.

There is a lot to see in Portugal. In addition to Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve, numerous palaces and monasteries are of interest: Alcobaca, Estoril, Braga, Guimaraes, Caimbra, Fatima, Batalha, Sintra, Obidos, Mafra and much more. By the way, Portugal is an excellent option to combine an educational holiday with a beach holiday, going from Moscow to the resorts of the Lisbon Riviera, Algarve and Madeira.

As a specialist in Portugal, we will help diversify your trip in 2019 with interesting routes and holidays in Portugal.

Tatiana and Andrey Nechaev, Moscow

Ekaterina, good afternoon! Thank you, I had a great trip, the room was what I wanted (with a view of the park and a bathroom). I was very pleased. Thank you.

The only thing is that the transfer, in addition to me, met other women who were brought to Karlovy Vary and I had to travel instead of 2 hours from Prague to Marianske Lazne for 3 hours. This, of course, was not convenient; they brought me there in the evening. Of course, it would be more convenient to fly to Karlovy Vary.

Larisa, Perm

Hello, Ekaterina. Our trip was a success.

The hotel is good. Repair, furniture, plumbing, bed linen - in excellent condition, no comments. Very clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was the same every day, but with a good assortment - so you could diversify your menu simply by choosing different dishes.

There is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream in the room. We used it. Tea was added daily. Linen and towels were changed twice a week.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, there is no noisy crowd. There are several direct tram routes to the center (to the railway station, to shopping centers, and to main attractions).

The drive is less than half an hour. 2 stops near the hotel: one right under the windows, the other a 5-minute walk at a walking pace.

Lyubov Leonidovna, Moscow

Ekaterina, hello! I apologize for not dropping you a couple of lines earlier: I was sorting out my affairs, sorting out my suitcase - or vice versa.

Special thanks and low bow to the host - "Armenia Travel". The drivers are beyond praise, the guide Liya Bakhshinyan is a true professional and a very sincere, sincere person. Over the course of a week of close communication, we became almost family.

When you go on a trip to Portugal with the tour operator Vendes, you will visit Lisbon on the first day. This picturesque city is among the top 10 most visited European capitals. Legends say that many thousands of years ago, the hero of Homer’s Illiad - the brave warrior Odysseus - suddenly saw a coast suitable for creating a port. A city was founded on this site, the name of which was given by the Romans a thousand years later. And they called it Lisbon. Now this port city has become a major European capital.

Lisbon - a look into the past

Lisbon fantastically combines the rich heritage of past centuries and modern urban life. There is a lot to see here! Visit Lisbon's most popular structure, the Aguas Libres Aqueduct, which resembles a series of endless stone arches. This aqueduct is more than 250 years old, and it is rightfully considered the hallmark of the proud capital. Once upon a time, it was the aqueduct that saved Lisbon residents from an acute shortage of fresh water. This building is used for its intended purpose to this day.

Tours to Portugal should definitely include a visit to the Queluz Palace, located in Lisbon. It is there that you will feel the heroic spirit of the eras of the past and see with your own eyes the life of the Portuguese rulers. This palace complex was built in the mid-18th century. It was the summer residence of kings.

When you visit Lisbon, be sure to visit its key attraction - the Elevador Santa Justa elevator. It connects several streets with a central square. The interior of the ancient Elevator is designed in a neo-Gothic style. Its creator is the famous Portuguese engineer Raoul du Passard.

Sintra is a city surrounded by mountains, forest and ocean

From Lisbon to the city of Sintra you can drive in just an hour. The mountains and the ocean do their job - the weather there is not Lisbon at all. Sintra is always very humid, cool and windy.
