Central Portugal is full of magnificent panoramic views, ancient villages of infinite charm and splendid beaches.

Things to do when camping in Portugal

There's something for everyone on a camping holiday in Portugal, from cultural and culinary delights in Porto and Lisbon to the idyllic beaches at Lagos.

As its name suggests, this historic city of Porto is the home of port wine. Its idyllic riverside is lined with colourful buildings many of which are port houses, and its historic centre is littered with Baroque-era structures like the beautiful São Francisco Church.

Visit Lisbon, Portugal’s coastal capital that’s bursting with activity. Admire the Gothic exteriors of the Torre de Belém and indulge in a pastel de nata before exploring the ruins and gardens of Castelo de S. Jorge.

Explore Lagos, Portugal’s famed beach resort that’s known for both its beautiful long beaches and walled Old Town. Highlights include the golden Igreja de Santo Antonio church, various exciting water parks and the picturesque Ponta da Piedade cove.

Portugal’s main wine region Douro Valley features stunning landscape filled with rolling hills and quaint towns. Head there on a day trip for wine tastings and river cruises.
