5 destinations to enjoy nature in Center of… • Center of Portugal

Center of Portugal offers untouched landscapes, dazzling parks, a UNESCO Geopark and natural reserves, endless Atlantic beaches, romantic gardens and the highest peak of the Portuguese mainland: Serra da Estrela. A place to hear the melody of humming birds. And the sheer sound of silence.

Serra da Estrela

When the landscape is breathtaking… fancy stroll through it slowly. At Serra da Estrela time gets a new pace, through the winding paths and boulders that seem to perch in the air. The rush disappears in the altitude of the mountains, and calm accompanies us in the typical mountain villages, among the trees and along the waterways.
