Holidays to Portugal have got it all – charm, cuisine, culture! The Algarve's just one great example, with excellent golf, Blue Flag shores and tonnes of family-friendly attractions too. And with coastal promenades and gorgeous green golf courses, it’s no wonder that it’s so popular with active types. Stunning weather and stellar views mean it’s the perfect place to practice your swing all year round. Want to experience Portugal’s swanky side? Make your way to Vilamoura for dining in yacht-filled marinas, sipping drinks in cool cocktail bars and kicking back on golden beaches.

Why not wine and dine in Alvor? This resort offers things at a more relaxed place, so if it’s a fly-and-flop holiday you’re after, you won’t be disappointed. For Portugal with an island twist, look to Madeira. Its lush botanical gardens and epic hiking trails make it a magnet for explorers. There’s also a great calendar of events on offer, from firework shows to flower festivals. Whichever patch of the country you opt for, all parts take pride in their love for good food, good wine and good times. Cinnamon-sprinkled custard tarts, grilled sardines, crisp wine and velvety port are all national treasures, so sampling them is a rite of passage for any holiday to Portugal.
