Portugal, in Southern Europe, shares the Iberian Peninsula at the western tip of Europe with Spain. The country offers outstanding landscape diversity, due to its North-South disposition along the western shore of the Iberian Peninsula. You can travel in a single day from green mountains in the North, covered with vines and all varieties of trees to rocky mountains, with spectacular slopes and falls in the Centre, to a near-desert landscape in the Alentejo region and finally to the glamorous beach holidays destination Algarve. The climate, combined with investments in the golfing infrastructure in recent years, has also turned the country into a golfing haven. Portugal was recently named "Best Golf Destination 2008" by readers of Golfers Today. If you want a condensed view of European landscapes, Portugal is for you. If you want to spend your holidays in the countryside, you might want to visit Viana do Castelo, Chaves, Miranda do Douro, Douro Valley, Lamego, Tomar, Leiria, Castelo Branco, Guarda, Portalegre, Évora, Elvas or even Viseu. Lisbon is perhaps Europe's most pleasant and affordable city. Its fantastic architecture, diverse population, delicious seafood, intriguing tile-work and non-stop night-life bring together the best elements of Portuguese life. If it's the beach you are after, the Algarve coast offers highly developed stretches of beach. The rest of the coast, with the exception of the area near Lisbon and Porto, remain relaxing, totally Portuguese and isolated. Great stretches of sand are there for the relaxing, especially along the northern Costa Verde, near Viano do Castelo. The beaches near southern Alentejo are the most remote and least populated. When landing in Portugal, you can rent a car at Lisbon airport or Madeira airport. Roads are generally good, and you can reach almost all major cities with ease, either by motorway or by good, modern roads.
