At the western edge of Europe, Portugal is a rich country with lively cities and villages steeped in history. Quaint towns stand proud on rugged cliff tops, gothic spires rise majestically and charming cobbled streets invite you to explore winding old towns. Your visit to Portugal with Jacada is bound to be one of lasting memories and extraordinary experiences.
From the historic beauty of Alentejo and the highlights of Lisbon, to the pretty towns of Estoril and Cascais, and Porto’s lush wine estates – Portugal is ripe for exploration. Our experienced team of travel designers and concierges will craft a trip that perfectly aligns your interests, showing you a side of Portugal that many visitors don’t normally get access to. We’ll connect you with local guides who’ll share stories with you as you explore side streets, spend time in fragrant kitchens, breathe fresh vineyard air and feel the salty breeze on your cheeks as you stroll along the coast.
The best way to truly experience a destination is through its cuisine. So, get a real taste for Portugal as you sample local dishes and delicacies from across the regions on private food and wine tours. Pop into a small tasquinha to savour fish fresh from the sea or sink your teeth into delicate pastries originating from medieval Catholic monasteries. And of course, don’t forget the world famous Portuguese wine.
Whether it’s a cultural and culinary experience or a beach holiday you’re looking for, get in touch with us and get ready to discover its treasures.

Algarve
Striking rock formations extend skywards from azure waters as the sun warms the sandy coastline. The southernmost part of Portugal, Algarve is most known for these Mediterranean beaches, quaint coves, fishing villages and luxurious hotels and eateries.

Douro Valley
The Douro River winds its way from the north of Spain, along the Portuguese border and eastward to Porto where it meets the sea. It is most famous for its port, a sweet brandy fortified wine that must originate in this valley to be considered the genuine article.

Lisbon
Europe’s second oldest capital, Lisbon is an effortlessly elegant city, full of old-world charm. Lisbon has plenty to offer, with a plethora of museums and galleries as well as beautiful buildings covered in iconic azelujo tiles.

Porto
Built on a steep riverbank, a jumble of colourful medieval houses hug the calm waters of the Douro River where wooden boats bob on the surface and people spill out of its cafes and bars, more often than not with a glass of the wine that gave the city its name.

The Azores
The Azores, an enchanting archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, is a hidden gem of natural beauty and cultural diversity.

When to visit Portugal
The best time to visit Portugal is from March to October, but you may want to schedule your visit either side of July and August. During these summer months, temperatures can be particularly searing and the beaches in the south overcrowded.
For a beach break, aim for July and August, but to avoid the crowds of the peak summer months, June, September and October offer lovely warm weather. If hiking is on your to do list, then April to October is good, but try to avoid the very hot weather of July and August unless you’re heading into the mountains.
