Centre

Probably the region of Portugal where nature contrasts are more extreme. From the fantastic beaches on the coast with its picturesque fishing villages famous for their excellent restaurants to the Roman city of Coimbra to Serra da Estrela… anyone for skiing in Portugal?

Aveiro is a very special town with its water channels lined by Art Nouveau houses, a great city to walk around visit and soak up its charm.

Coimbra has roman origins making for one of the oldest cities in Portugal and which has also kept along the centuries some very interesting buildings and monuments. The city itself is also a fantastic display of Baroque buildings and a site not to miss is the University of Coimbra, founded as far back as 1290.

Serra da Estrela is a natural park that houses the highest mountains in Portugal, providing some unique opportunities to enjoy nature year-round. And during winter time the ski resorts offer excellent facilities for the practice of winter sports as well as an interesting après-ski offer.

We’ve just offered you a few highlights for your holiday although there is so much more to see, we are certain the centre of Portugal will certainly surprise you.
