The Travel & Leisure Destination of the Year!

by Clare Christopher

The good news? Travel & Leisure declared Portugal the winner of its prestigious “Destination of the Year” award for 2016!

Of course, we at Portugal.com could not agree more: The magazine’s editors say Portugal’s vibrant culture, affordability, stellar cuisine and year-round warm weather attract more tourists every year. And the increase in nonstop flights from the U.S. combined with an eye-popping array of new one-of-a-kind hotels means Portugal absolutely deserves your vacation business.
