Multi-destination holidays in Portugal –

discover a captivating land

Positioned at the western edge of Europe, Portugal is perhaps not a place you might easily stumble upon, but it is an incredibly rewarding country to visit on a self-guided journey by rail. This sea-facing land has long been a nation of great seafaring adventurers, who returned from their voyages with great wealth and much-expanded perspectives, leading to the sumptuous palaces, magnificent historical monuments and rich cultural legacy you find in Portugal today.
