Promoted officially for its wide-ranged appeal, Portugal offers hundreds of miles of beaches, a rich gastronomy, golf coasts, historic inland towns and villages, the islands of the Azores and Madeira, and not least, the buzzing capital of Lisbon. Add to this the charm and hospitableness of the people, plus a choice of venues ranging from five-star resort hotels to centuries-old heritage buildings. Wine, culture, water-sports, sunshine … who needs more?
Those in the know identify distinct conference regions: Porto and the North (lush and green, festivals); Beirua (central, mountainous, wooded, historic); Lisbon itself plus the Tagus Valley hinterland (walled villages, castles, medieval towns); the Estoril coast (sports and beaches); Alentejo (countryside, hilltop villages, heritage centres); the Algarve (historic Faro plus beaches, golf courses, marinas); together with the islands.
International flights, high-speed express trains and shipping services make access easy.
