Things to Do on Holiday in Portugal
Friday, June 01, 2012Ryan MachIf you’re planning a holiday in Portugal, one
thing’s for sure - there’s plenty more here than just great beaches. Get out
and explore everything that this vibrant destination has to offer - from the
beautiful city of Lisbon with its quaint cobbled streets, to the breathtaking Feira
castle in the North. There is so much to see in this diverse country.
But where
will you go? If you’re based in the Algarve region, there are dozens of
different day trips available through various tour operators. For example if
you book holidays with Thomas Cook your representative will be able
to recommend numerous well-organised day trips throughout your stay, ranging
from boat trips and sightseeing tours to jeep safaris and water sports.
If you like
historic sites, head to Silves and explore the hilltop
castle and the old town of Algarve which is believed to date back to 1000BC. Or
for something truly spectacular - if a little morbid - visit the Capela dos
Ossos in Faro, a tiny chapel made from the bones of monks. The first bone was
thought to have been laid by a monk in the 14th Century.
Day trips aside, the Algarve is renowned
for its gorgeous golden beaches. Fringed by rocky cliffs and peppered with
beautiful coves, the coastline of South Portugal is one of Europe’s most
spectacular. Get out and enjoy it!
