Coastal Holidays in Portugal

Coastal holidays in Portugal are an affordable option for European travelers who want to get some sun. It has become a favorite destination for northern Europeans in particular, and this means that the most desirable Portuguese resorts are frequently quite crowded during the peak travel times.

However, those in the know will choose towns like Nazare which boast more local character and tend to be quieter than other resorts in September. Another option is to look inland to towns like Sintra, which is known for its lovely villas and gardens. The town of Obidos is another picturesque option that is a great choice for history lovers. This 13th century village was once the private getaway of Portuguese queens, while the neighboring town of Evora will appeal to fans of Roman architecture.
