Overview
Wind, waves and cliffs shape the Atlantic coast of Portugal, and that is exactly the appeal for active travellers. From March to June and from September to October the temperatures are pleasant for hiking, and the sea offers surfers good conditions. Cascais west of Lisbon is, with the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, an entry point for coastal paths that lead past the Boca do Inferno. Lisbon itself demands fitness, because the hills are steep, and offers views over the Tagus in return.
Portimão in the Algarve offers limestone cliffs, kayak tours to grottoes and routes above the water. Porto in the north stands for steps, bridges and walks along the Douro. The Atlantic stays cool, and the wind can be strong, which is why a wetsuit and a windproof jacket make sense. The Rota Vicentina on the south-west coast is a long coastal hiking trail that can be walked in day stages and links many routes over cliffs and beaches.
The flight time is approx. 2.5 hours, which eases short trips. Whether your trip should weight surfing, coastal hiking or city tours more is something you decide in the video call.
