September Holidays in Portugal

If you are heading to the Portuguese land for sunshine on the beach, Algarve should be first on your list. Away from busy regions, Algarve offers authentic experiences of sandy beauty and fantastic surfing spots. The Mira River is a hotspot for boat cruises and canoeing. Hike along the sweeping valleys adjacent to the river, or swim in the splendid lagoons.

Attend the Madeira Wine Festival during the first week of September. The grape harvesting period recreates old traditions with exhibits, ornaments, and music performances depicting the wine culture.

The Costa Azul or Blue Coast is remote and unspoilt. Discover serene, flower-packed landscapes and quiet beaches during your September holidays in Portugal. Hike along the trails filled with cork groves and pine trees. Continue to the estuary of Rio Sado or Sado River to explore a sanctuary where dolphins play.

This is where magic and romance happens. Relax by the pool with your loved one or visit a nearby campsite offering a laid back vibe. Prolong your summer tan on the surrounding beaches, then grab some fresh seafood before retiring to a private lodge for a romantic night.

Catch the free outdoor jazz concert towards the end of September in the public gardens of Lisbon, like Bela Vista. The concert, held every Sunday, brings the funk, hip-hop, jazz, and soul music to fans.
