The natural advantage of a sunny country with various geographic features have turned Portugal into a chosen destination for many holidaymakers, an ideal place for practicing water sports and playing golf, offering modern tourism facilities and quaint and personalised means of accommodation.
LISBOA located along the right bank of the River Tagus estuary, was the muse that inspired the great maritime discoveries.
The memories of this golden age are the Tower of Belem and the Monastery of Jeronimos both of which have been classified as world heritage sites.
PORTO, in the north of the country is the main door to enter in the Portugal oldest region. The city’s historical centre, where the predominant colour is the grey of the granit walls, has been classified by UNESCO as a world heritage place. No visit would be complete without taking some time to taste the famous wine at the lodges where it is blended and aged.
In the south, the ALGARVE offers you beautiful beaches, a warm sea and sunshine all year round. And if you are a keen golfer, don’t make the mistake of leaving your clubs at home.
MADEIRA ISLAND, the tropical excellence of the Atlantic Ocean, in which flowers and fruits have been turned into a genuine cult.
And the AZORES, group of nine islands located in the middle of the Atlantic, mark the westernmost frontier of Europe, where nature managed to preserve the beauty of its origins.
ACP TRAVEL (ACP Viagens e Turismo, Lda) is the subsidiary travel organisation of the AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF PORTUGAL, the largest membership association founded in 1903, with a receptive service with large background in all sectors of Tourism.
