2 | Portugal River Voyage Guide
Nestled on the sun-drenched Iberian
Peninsula in Southern Europe, Portugal is a
country characterised by a rich tapestry of
history, art, music, and unique traditions. Over
the centuries, the influences of Romans, Moors,
Berbers, Vandals, and Visigoths have intricately
woven together to shape Portugal's
unique identity.
From the intricate azulejos tiles gracing homes,
churches and the streets of Lisbon to the
romantic bridges and grand cathedrals of
Porto, architectural wonders narrate tales
of bygone eras.
The Viking Portugal experience also includes a
visit to the historic city of Salamanca, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site with well-preserved
medieval structures, cobblestone streets and
the illustrious University of Salamanca.
Delve into the world of traditional fresh
seafood, hearty stews, and pastries. Experience
the iconic salted codfish, Bacalhau, and savour
the delicately melting custard tarts known as
pastéis de nata, while listening to soul-stirring
melodies of Fado music.
Set sail down the Douro River past the
picturesque rolling vineyards and dramatic rock
formations while you experience the vibrant
culture and hospitality of the Portuguese
people in every port.
