Family vacations in Portugal are growing increasingly popular (particularly in April and May, as well as August and September). And this is not surprising given that this country, first and foremost, is the source of constant excitement, and talking about it may go on for a long time without interruption.
It is difficult to paint a picture that perfectly conveys even a fraction of the emotions evoked by the west coast's caves, cliffs, and capes, for example. You will know you have returned from an unforgettable family vacation, once you have seen and experienced some fado music, the Douro Valley wineries, the splendour of the plains of the Alentejo (also known as Portugal's 'breadbasket', a whiff of the unique Arabian infused wind in the Algarve and the fragrance of fried sardines in Porto. However, these are only a few finishing touches to a magnificent and complete picture of Portugal.
The weather in Portugal in September is similar to that of the summer, with temperatures rarely falling below 25 degrees Celsius. During September, your family can also thoroughly relax on the country's beaches and swim in the sea, since the ocean water is naturally heated by the sun to 20 ° Celsius. September is, therefore, an extremely favourable month to visit this country, especially for those who cannot tolerate the extremely hot weather.
Portugal is unquestionably a lovely country, with its rich cultural traditions and history. It is located in the southwestern part of Europe and attracts millions of tourists each year with its majestic mountains, a plethora of stunning beaches ideal for surfing and diving, vineyards, and picturesque landscapes surrounded by olive groves.

The "Lisbon Riviera" is a vast network of luxury resorts located near Portugal's capital, Lisbon.

The Queluz Palace, erected in the 17th century, is a popular tourist destination in Portugal. It was previously the home of Portuguese King Pedro II. Today, the structure often plays host to some classical music events. However, an earthquake completely destroyed St. George's Castle, which dates back to ancient times.
The Ribeira district is the most attractive in the city. A festive mood is created by colourful houses that stick out above each other. To truly appreciate Portuguese hospitality, you should visit a local cafe and order a traditional Francesinha sandwich, which is made in front of your eyes in an open oven, and don't forget the port wine for the adults to round off a great lunch.
Pine Cliffs in Albufeira is one of those family-friendly resorts that has something for everyone and so checks all the boxes, hence the reason why we are going to highlight it in this blog article.

Beach vacations in Portugal are one of the country's main draws, and there are several family-friendly resorts where you can fully enjoy the gorgeous weather, warm seawater, and white sand.

Praia da Rainha (where the Portuguese queen has swum before), Praia de Duquesa, Praia da Conceiço, and Praia do Tamariz are some of the best beaches for swimming and sunbathing.
