TRAVELER’S TAKE: “For my daughter’s 18th birthday, our advisor booked us on a cruise through the Adriatic and arranged a special surprise: In Dubrovnik, clues led us down a little lane, where a band started playing “Happy Birthday,” a bakery opened just for us, and we got to decorate an incredible chocolate cake.”

Virtuoso advisors know how to skip the line at Angkor Wat, step inside the Sistine Chapel after hours, and explore the Galápagos with bootson-the-ground experts.

4. Insider knowledge

Friends in far places doesn’t even begin to cover it. Learn local secrets from falconers in Ireland, storied gardeners in the English countryside, and trailblazing safari guides in the Serengeti.

TRAVELER’S TAKE: “My husband and I tapped our Virtuoso connections to plan a group safari to celebrate a year of milestones, including our 30th wedding anniversary.

With our friends and family around us, it was the trip of a lifetime.”

Family Fun in Portugal

Plan Your Family Adventure

Lisbon Region

There are a multitude of places in Lisbon that kids will love, such as the Oceanarium, the Lisbon Zoo, and the Puppet Museum. But they can also have a lot of fun – and learn a lot, too! – in any of the state-of-the-art science centers, such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Planetarium and the interactive Pavilion of Knowledge. After a lively day of learning together, refuel with a leisurely family picnic in Lisbon’s Campo Grande or Monsanto parks.

Center of Portugal

This region of Portugal offers many exciting options for families. In Aveiro, learn how to make mouthwatering ovos moles – soft eggs – at Oficina do Doce, and drift along the canals on a Moliceiro boat tour. Kids will enjoy the Portugal dos Pequenitos theme park in Coimbra, an educational playground with miniature versions of Portuguese monuments. And in Lourinhã, the recently opened dinosaur park has more than 120 life-size models and highlights important geological periods.

Aveiro: Sean3810/Getty Images

Porto and the North Region

It’s easy to spend time outdoors in Porto, thanks to places like the sprawling City Park and the Serralves Park, with its elevated treetop walking path. Literature lovers should add Livraria Lello to their list: This bookshop was built in 1906 and is known for its neogothic facade and paintings by José Bielman.

Hike in northern Portugal on the Paiva Walkways or spot the Aguieiras waterfall from the 516 Arouca suspension bridge.

And travel back in time at Côa Rock Art Museum to learn about one of the biggest open-sky Paleolithic art sites in the world.

Alentejo

Alentejo’s natural parks and reserves are a fascinating way to discover nature. In Badoca Safari Park, families can learn about deer, buffalo, ostriches, giraffes, antelopes, and zebras, and the Alqueva Dark Sky Route is an unparalleled stargazing spot. This protected area is the world’s first Starlight Tourism Destination designated by UNESCO. Have an equine enthusiast in the family? Visit Coudelaria de Alter do Chão (Alter Stud Farm) to learn about the Lusitano horse breed and take a riding class.

Alentejo, Alqueva, Great Lake: Turismo Alentejo

Algarve

The year-round mild climate of Algarve is perfect for exploring the flora and fauna of Ria Formosa Natural Park, an amazing wetland area that covers more than 44,000 acres. Dolphin-watching excursions are popular in Lagos, Portimão, and Alvor. And at the Zoomarine oceanographic park in Guia, you can see not only dolphins but also seals, sharks, and turtles up close.

Madeira

In the Atlantic Ocean, the islands of Madeira and neighboring Porto Santo offer a haven of natural beauty. Two-thirds of this archipelago is a protected area and where the largest Laurisilva forest in the world is located. Families can explore the lush vegetation with walks along the Levadas (irrigation channels), boat rides to admire the coastline, or festivities like the Flower Festival or the Carnival parades.

Azores Islands

The nine islands of the Azores beckon with dramatic peaks, lake-filled calderas, and green pastures. Hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and biking are popular ways for families to explore these otherworldly islands. Children and adults alike will appreciate the Azorean tradition of whale-watching.

Blue whales – the largest animals on earth – are frequently sighted in the channel between São Miguel and Santa Maria islands during the spring.
