SAMPLE PORTUGAL GOLF TOUR
(10-14 days)
The tour includes some of the most scenic golf courses in Europe along with
beautiful beaches, great sightseeing and the great hospitality of Portugal.
We will stay at a resort complex in the sunny Algarve region of Portugal
on the southern coast. Golfers will enjoy a few rounds of golf at this renowned
golfing destination. The group will visit Sagres, Cabo de Sao Vicente and
Lagos, the area from where the Portuguese set out to explore the new world.
We will take our motor coach to Lisbon and stay in Portugal’s capital city.
We have a couple of more great courses in the area that offer spectacular
scenery and great golf. While in Lisbon we will tour the historic city and
take trips to the surrounding area.
The Nations Park in Lisbon where Expo 98 was held offers a modern look
to the city along with Vasco da Gama Mall and the Oceanarium, Europe’s largest
aquarium. The view of Lisbon from St. George Castle and a walk in the Alfama
district where fishermen’s catch is still sold in the doorways of the narrow
alleys is quite unique.
From Lisbon embark on a day trip to Obidos, Nazare, Alcobaca, Batalha
and Fatima. We will take a full day tour along the Lisbon coast to Sintra,
Cabo da Roca, Cascais and Estoril. There may be an opportunity to experience
a bullfight or a professional soccer match. A special evening of traditional
Fado music would be a great ending to the trip
