USA TODAY” WINNERS: 2014

Best European Country Chosen by readers of USA TODAY- Portugal Nbr. 1

Much underrated Portugal has all the trappings of a pretty European country:
cobbled villages beneath the shadows of medieval castles, sun-kissed beaches,
a delectable culinary tradition and plenty of history to explore.
Whether swimming in the turquoise waters of the Algarve,
sipping a glass of port at a Porto cafe or listening to the melancholy
lament of a fadista in Lisbon, Portugal’s understated beauty becomes obvious.


Conde Nast Traveller” - Best Country 2014

Portugal is always a good holiday destination. Here are some of the main
reasons to visit one of the best value destinations in 2014.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and Porto is the second largest city, in the north of the country.
They are both vibrant cities filled with history that retain a human dimension,
with their historic districts, monuments and tile façades.

Lisbon is known as the white city due to the sunlight that reflects off the River Tagus.
It was considered Europe’s Leading City Break Destination by World Travel Awards in 2013, 2010 and 2009.

World Travel Awards”

Porto, which gave its name to a wine enjoyed all over the world,
was again elected Best European Destination in 2014 and is one of the top 14 cities
chosen by British Airways to visit.

Previously, it was Number 2 on TripAdvisor’s 2013 Travellers' Choice list for emerging destinations in Europe.
