Head off the beaten path into authentic Portugal. Savor its layers of history, culture, cuisine and exquisite natural beauty. Venture into central Portugal, a crossroads of scenery and history. Gentle hikes draw us through a kaleidoscope of landscapes, from the sapphire lagoons and wind-lashed cliffs of the Atlantic coast to the lush valleys of the Rio Zezere. We follow its banks to the village of Dornes, one of the country’s Seven Wonders. Remnants of the past punctuate our travels. Spend a night in a palace in the magical forest of Buçaco, a walled arboretum featuring flora from the Age of Discovery. Marvel at Tomar, founded by the Knights Templar; Almourol, a fortresslike castle on an island; and Obidos, a castle town on a site once occupied by the Romans. Our adventure ends in Porto, a vibrant city with a labyrinth of medieval streets--a fitting end to our journey into the living heart of Portugal.

Thought Mediterranean Europe was out of your reach? Think again. Take two weeks to voyage through France, Italy, Monaco, Spain, and Portugal, hitting up tons of major highlights (the French Riviera, Rome, Cinque Terre, Lisbon, and Madrid among them) for way less than you’d think — meaning more cash to spend on delicious tapas and dancing at nightclubs. And if you’re all worn out from the party scene, recharge your batteries on exotic beaches and get a taste of Europe’s high culture and slow-paced life.

Discover a new side to Portugal on this Atlantic adventure. Although modern Portugal can be credited for its contributions to art, architecture and world-class dining, there’s a distant remnant of the Old Empire lying far from the mainland. From the rolling blue hydrangeas of Faial, the steep cliffs of Sao Jorge and the black volcanic soil under the vineyards of Pico, the Azores offer a delightful insight into both island and Portuguese living. Discover a new side to ancient Portugal on this island-hopping Atlantic adventure.
