Holidays in Central Portugal : the cultural pride of Portugal
Between the lush northern region of the country and the Lisbon region, the Central Region of Portugal is relatively unknown to tourist. However, this region represents the spiritual and cultural centre of the country with a large number of places listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. It is home to the famous city of Coimbra, former residence of the first Portuguese kings, as well as the Roman city of Conimbriga, which is often compared to the Italian Pompeii. Fall under the spell of the charming, varied landscapes, with long white sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast on one side and the Spanish border on the other. For your holiday, let yourself be tempted by the mountainous landscapes of the Serra da Estrela, by the charming seaside resort of Figueira da Foz or by the perfect waves of Nazaré. This multi-faceted region has plenty of surprises in store for you on your next holiday in Portugal with your loved ones.
