Explore Lisbon's Charms

Lisbon, the capital city, entices adventurers with its perfect blend of traditional charm and modern flair. As you wander through the steep streets of Alfama, you'll be greeted with the delightful aromas of fresh pastries and the mournful notes of Fado music. Don't miss the chance to hop on Tram 28, which clinks and clatters through centuries-old neighbourhoods, offering stunning vistas at every turn.

For those with a thirst for adventure vacation packages to Portugal, Lisbon sets the stage with its close proximity to the venturous terrains of Sintra. Here, explorers can traverse lush forests, discover the romantic ruins of the Moorish Castle, or capture the kaleidoscopic beauty of the Pena Palace. The landscape here is not just picturesque but also an action-packed playground awaiting your footprints.

Unveil the Secrets of Porto

Porto, the northern heartbeat of Portugal, beckons with its own distinct allure. Famous for its rich port wine and the hypnotic flow of the Douro River, this city is also a gateway to rave-worthy adventures. Glide down the river on a traditional Rabelo boat or indulge in the sensory feast of a wine-tasting tour in one of the region's renowned cellars.

The adventurous soul will find joy in hiking the hills overlooking the city or zipping through the streets on a Vespa. For a dive into history, visit the grand Livraria Lello, a bookstore so enchanting it’s said to have inspired J.K. Rowling. Porto isn't merely a destination; it’s a dynamic adventure that hugs each bend of the riverbanks.

Adventure in the Algarve

The Algarve region, with its stretched golden beaches and jagged limestone cliffs, is a sun-drenched paradise for the outdoor enthusiasts. It hosts a myriad of opportunities for those seeking trips to Portugal filled with excitement and natural beauty. Kayak through the azure waters to uncover hidden grottoes, or surf the powerful Atlantic swells at hotspots like Praia da Rocha.

Venture inland to explore quaint villages where time seems to stand still, offering a necessary pause to soak in the culture and hospitality. The thrill does not end on land; embark on a dolphin-watching excursion or scuba dive to explore the teeming marine life that calls the Portuguese coast home.

Tasting Portugal

No adventure vacation packages to Portugal would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. From the iconic pastéis de nata to hearty bacalhau dishes, the flavours of Portugal are as diverse as its landscapes. Especially noteworthy is a trek through the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where terraced vineyards produce some of the finest wines globally. Here, savour each sip paired with traditional cuisine against a backdrop of stunning vineyards.

Cultural Treasures

Beyond the adrenaline-pumping activities, Portugal offers a rich cultural tapestry that invites exploration. Witness the grandeur of the Jerónimos Monastery, a testament to the maritime prowess of Portugal's past, or lose yourself in the intricate tilework of the National Palace of Sintra.

Experience the warmth of Portuguese hospitality as you immerse yourself in local festivals that celebrate everything from medieval history to the summer harvests. Every encounter is a journey into the heart of Portuguese life, ensuring that your travels are as enriching as they are exhilarating.

As you plan your next travel adventure, let Portugal's endless opportunities for exploration and discovery guide you to an unmatched escape. Whether through the winding alleyways of its cities or the untamed beauty of its coastlines, Portugal promises an adventure as vibrant and varied as its storied past. Ready your senses for a remarkable voyage and let Portugal’s magic unveil itself in the most surprising ways.

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA
