Ancient towns like Guimarães and Braga are some of the oldest in europe. Easily accessible from Porto and Galicia in Northern spain, offering fantastic opportunities for a self-drive itinerary off the beaten track.
In the Northern Portugal you can cruise along the Douro River, explore the city of Porto, Guimarães and Brega with its remarkable 12th century cathedral, or discover geological formations at the National Park of Peneda-Gerês.
Porto is a historic and varied city, from the warren of narrow streets that make up the ancient Ribeira district through to the grand plaza of the Trindade district. The region is famed for the production of Port, which is still stored and matured in the vast cellars that stretch along the banks of the Douro River. The Ribeira District is the oldest of the city, a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, ancient houses and bags of character with lively restaurants at nights.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.
An Unforgettable Trip Thanks to Lisa! Lisa from Entire Travel Group absolutely nailed it when organizing our recent holiday to Fiji. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. She crafted an incredible itinerary for my wife and me, starting with the stunning Intercontinental, followed by the breathtaking luxury of Likuliku, and wrapping up at the vibrant Sheraton in Denarau. Every detail was perfectly arranged – flights, transfers, accommodation, and even activities. We got to scuba dive, surf, snorkel, explore, and indulge in some of the best food we've ever had. Lisa made sure everything ran smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing – just relax and enjoy. We’ve done a lot of travel over the years, and this was one of the best-planned trips we’ve ever been on. Lisa is a true professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a luxury getaway done right!
We had the most wonderful trip to the stunning Fiji organised by Entire Travel. Lisa Tappin was fabulous - accommodation and transfers were excellent and nothing was a problem. Highly recommend Lisa and Entire Travel Team. Thank you!!
In general, the best times to visit and experience as much as possible in Northern Portugal are between March and early June or mid-September and mid-to-late November, ideal for sightseeing and day trips.
Northern Portugal tend to be cooler and wetter than the rest of the country. The peak season is from June to the end of August, and this season offers hot and dry weather, which is suitable for spending time on the beaches.
During winter there is a very high possibility of rain.
