Find a walking holiday in Portugal, Madeira or the Azores to suit you

Whether you like mountains, valleys or coastal scenery, Inntravel has a walking holiday in Portugal that’s perfect for you. On the mainland you can explore the Douro Valley, the grandeur and tranquillity of which are striking; follow beautiful paths along the wild and unspoiled Costa Vicentina; or go walking in Algarve – our holidays reveal the quiet side of this well-known region, where flower-clad hills tumble down to honey-coloured cliffs framing pristine beaches. Further afield, walking in Madeira is one of our most popular options, and deservedly so – glorious displays of flowers thrive in the island’s year-round sunshine, and the mild climate makes walking in Madeira a real treat at any time of year. Just as lush, if not more so, are the landscapes of the Azores. Walking here, you will discover dramatic volcanoes, crater lakes and hot springs.
