Portugal receives children with open arms. Families are welcome in a wide variety of locations, can vacation in a temperate climate in many parts of the country, and take part in plenty of fun activities. Kids love places to run, play and have fun. And Portugal has plenty of those! In addition to many beautiful natural parks, the country also has dedicated theme parks that focus on water, combining aquatic animal shows with amazing water slides. Cycling trips, whether urban tours or mountain bike trails, will appeal to adventurous youngsters, as will water sports such as surfing and paddleboarding. The whole family can experience a family vacation to remember on some of Portugal’s sun-kissed beaches. Other things that might be new to your children are Portuguese lessons or Portuguese cookery workshops. Or maybe they can tell you about something they’ve always wanted to try.
