Portugal

Portugal is famous for its typical seafood dishes, architecture, fado music, azulejos, historical cities, and port wine.
With its mild climate and 850 kms of splendid beaches bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is a holiday destination all year round and one of Europe’s top surfing destinations.

Manueline art, tiles (azulejos) and fado are unique expressions and genuine symbols of the Portuguese, but also a contribution to World Heritage. There are 17 sites inscribed on the World Heritage List (with a further 19 on the tentative list)  and 9 intangible heritage in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage).

Portugal is also part of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. The routes are an invitation to travel and to discover the rich and diverse heritage of Europe by bringing people and places together in networks of shared history and heritage. They cover a range of different themes, from architecture and landscape to religious influences, from gastronomy and intangible heritage to the major figures of European art, music and literature.
