About Portugal

Portugal is a country of colourful tiled streets, Atlantic coastline and warm hospitality. In one trip you can ride a historic tram through Lisbon, step inside the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra, wander along the Douro River in Porto and taste the famous custard tarts at their source.

For travellers from Pakistan, Portugal is a rewarding, relaxed and good-value destination. Lisbon and Porto are easy to explore on foot and by train, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, and seafood and vegetarian dishes are everywhere. Halal restaurants can be found in the main cities, and Lisbon has a Central Mosque.

The most popular route is the classic combination of Lisbon, Sintra and Porto, covering palaces, historic neighbourhoods and the Douro riverfront in one itinerary. If you have more time, you can add Cascais and the coast, Óbidos and Nazaré, Coimbra, the Douro Valley, the beaches of the Algarve, or the islands of Madeira.

SaffarGuru handles visa guidance, flights, hotels, internal transfers and local arrangements so you can enjoy the trip without the stress. Every package can be adjusted to your dates, budget and group size.
