Discover Portugal
Our A+ Tour collection features exclusive educational programming and immersive experiences that you can only get through EF–they are rated exceptionally high by educators who travel with us.
Wind your way along the Atlantic coast, experiencing the cosmopolitan flair of Porto and Lisbon alongside the rustic charm of rural Portugal. Marvel at Baroque-style libraries in the ancient capital of Coimbra and venture to the rugged seaside cliffs, which Portuguese explorers once considered the end of the world. Traversing through city streets and sandy beaches, mountain trails and woodland paths, see for yourself how culture and nature's beauty interweave in these twin tourism hotspots.
