PORTUGAL
Featured Ports
Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
Madeira was important to Portugal for its sugar production and late for the cultivation of wine. Its mild, spring-like climate and extraordinary scenery still attract visitors.
Horta, Azores, Portugal
Pretty Horta welcomes visitors as it has since the 15th century. See the museum of scrimshaw in the Café Sport, and the Regional Museum’s scale models carved out of fig pits.
Lisbon, Portugal
Spread over seven hills by the Tagus River, Lisbon is one of Europe's smallest capitals but considered by many visitors to be one of the most likeable, with a variety of faces.
Leixoes (Porto), Portugal
The city of Oporto straddles the Douro River, which carries the harvest of grapes from the vineyards to the world-famous port wine producers, where the wine is made and aged.
Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal
The triple-arched gates of the city welcome you. Visit the Gothic Church of San Sebastian, the Carlos Machado Museum, or the bi-colored volcanic crater lakes at Sete Cidades.
