Portugal

ATG walking holidays in Portugal cover many aspects of the country’s fine scenery.

Visit the unique, boulder-strewn highlands of Peneda National Park in the north, travel down the Douro river valley through its famous vineyards, or walk the wild west coast, pummelled by some of Europe’s largest waves. Every trip features an exceptional variety of sights, whether it be megalithic monuments or romantic gardens, rare flora or birdspotting opportunities.

Choose from a selection of self-guided ‘Footloose’ trips with a resident ATG Route Manager on hand for assistance, or Escorted trips with a group of like-minded travellers, led by an ATG Tour Leader.
