Portugal's capital Lisbon is a charming city of elegant architecture, Art Nouveau cafés and cobbled streets decorated with brightly painted tiles. After a day sightseeing head for the Bairro Alto quarter with its fado bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Head to the Algarve for golden sand beaches sheltered by red cliffs and sandstone rocks and an array of immaculate golf courses. A different side to Portugal can be discovered in subtropical Madeira with its lush vegetation and coastal scenery.
