8-DAY GROUP TOUR IN
AUTHENTIC NORTHERN PORTUGAL

THROUGH HIDDEN TREASURES ALONG THE DOURO REGION

THE ONLY PORT WINE REGION IN THE WORLD

The North of Portugal is the perfect destination for those looking for something different than the beaches of the Algarve or the rush of Lisbon. Here you can still find the real Portuguese way of life and pure nature. This region is not yet overrun by mass tourism and therefore excellent to discover the authentic Portugal with its fine traditions. The charm of the North can be felt in the characteric villages, impressive natural parks and centuries-old cities.

The great Douro river forms the border with the rest of Portugal and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The grapes of the world famous Port grow on the river banks in terraced vineyards and the small towns along the river have their own unique atmosphere. There are more hidden treasures in the mountains beyond the river that deserve to be discovered!

   

Vila Real, the capital of the province Trás - os - Montes, is located between the Douro river and the natural park Serra do Alvão. This impressive nature reserve has an altitude of 700-1300 meters and varied flora and fauna, forests, rivers, waterfalls and rocks. Winding mountain roads lead to authentic villages where small-scale agriculture is practiced and time seems to stand still. From April till October, it is possible to experience all the beauty that this region has to offer! Realtours guides you along the unforgettable places in this unique region.
