Can’t choose between wandering through Lisbon’s cobbled streets, sipping Port by the Douro River, indulging in pastéis de nata, or embracing island life in Madeira? Experience it all with the best multi centre holidays Portugal has to offer at eShores. With so much culture, natural beauty, and historic charm to choose from, it can be hard to know where to go when planning package holidays to Portugal. Our multi centre trips help you explore Portugal your way, from the golden beaches of Algarve to the wild and wonderful Azores. Pick from one of our suggested routes below or get a bespoke itinerary tailored to your budget, pace, and interests.
Portugal may be a small country, but it is packed with possibilities, and a multi centre holiday is the best way to experience it all. Distances are short and travel by car or rail is easy, so you can combine vibrant cities with dramatic coastlines, rolling vineyards and even island escapes into one seamless itinerary. Spend time uncovering Lisbon’s lively neighbourhoods and Porto’s riverside charm, then head south to the Algarve for beaches and relaxation, or venture further to Madeira or the Azores for a taste of island life. Blending culture and history with scenery and beaches, a Portugal multi centre holiday really does show you the country at its best.
Portugal is brimming with experiences for every type of traveller. In Lisbon you can explore historic neighbourhoods, enjoy views from its hilltop miradouros and take a day trip to the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra or the seaside town of Cascais. Porto charms with its colourful riverside, port wine cellars and nearby Douro Valley, where rolling vineyards line the riverbanks. Évora showcases Roman ruins and medieval streets, while Coimbra is known for its ancient university and libraries. Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal,” offers canals and colourful boats. For nature lovers, the Azores captivate with volcanic landscapes, hot springs and crater lakes, while Madeira delivers lush forests, dramatic peaks and garden-filled towns. Finally, the Algarve is the place to unwind, with golden beaches, dramatic cliffs and charming fishing villages.
Portugal offers sunshine all year round but the temperature can vary. May to September is the best time to visit for beach trips, but for multi centre holidays with plenty of exploring, March, April, and October offer cooler but pleasant weather that makes travelling a breeze.
With plenty of sunshine all year round, Portugal is a beach lover’s dream. The golden beaches of Algarve are perfect for those looking to relax and soak up the rays. Try Lagos for dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches, or Albufeira for its beautiful beaches and lively atmosphere. Another option is Caiscais, a stunning coastal town just a 40 minute train ride from Lisbon – ideal if you’re looking for Portugal multi centre holidays that combine city sights and sea.
