01706 753 636 Can’t choose between wandering through Lisbon’s cobbled streets, sipping Port by the Douro River, indulging in pastéis de nata, or embracing island life in Madeira? Experience it all with the best multi centre holidays Portugal has to offer at eShores. With so much culture, natural beauty, and historic charm to choose from, it can be hard to know where to go when planning package holidays to Portugal. Our multi centre trips help you explore Portugal your way, from the golden beaches of Algarve to the wild and wonderful Azores. Pick from one of our suggested routes below or get a bespoke itinerary tailored to your budget, pace, and interests.
Portugal may be a small country, but it is packed with possibilities, and a multi centre holiday is the best way to experience it all. Distances are short and travel by car or rail is easy, so you can combine vibrant cities with dramatic coastlines, rolling vineyards and even island escapes into one seamless itinerary. Spend time uncovering Lisbon’s lively neighbourhoods and Porto’s riverside charm, then head south to the Algarve for beaches and relaxation, or venture further to Madeira or the Azores for a taste of island life. Blending culture and history with scenery and beaches, a Portugal multi centre holiday really does show you the country at its best.
Portugal is brimming with experiences for every type of traveller. In Lisbon you can explore historic neighbourhoods, enjoy views from its hilltop miradouros and take a day trip to the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra or the seaside town of Cascais. Porto charms with its colourful riverside, port wine cellars and nearby Douro Valley, where rolling vineyards line the riverbanks. Évora showcases Roman ruins and medieval streets, while Coimbra is known for its ancient university and libraries. Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal,” offers canals and colourful boats. For nature lovers, the Azores captivate with volcanic landscapes, hot springs and crater lakes, while Madeira delivers lush forests, dramatic peaks and garden-filled towns. Finally, the Algarve is the place to unwind, with golden beaches, dramatic cliffs and charming fishing villages.
Portugal offers sunshine all year round but the temperature can vary. May to September is the best time to visit for beach trips, but for multi centre holidays with plenty of exploring, March, April, and October offer cooler but pleasant weather that makes travelling a breeze.
With plenty of sunshine all year round, Portugal is a beach lover’s dream. The golden beaches of Algarve are perfect for those looking to relax and soak up the rays. Try Lagos for dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches, or Albufeira for its beautiful beaches and lively atmosphere. Another option is Cascais, a stunning coastal town just a 40-minute train ride from Lisbon – ideal if you’re looking for Portugal multi centre holidays that combine city sights and sea.

We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…
The trip has been planned with our requirements fulfilled and also given options to change where we wanted. Looking forward to the trip and hope that all goes as smoothly as the booking side
So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…
Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .
Nick was very understanding in as much as we did flex the itinerary quite a bit before booking and we have a holiday package which more than meets our needs.
Great and friendly customer service from Andy, as before. Andy always goes out of his way to find a holiday that matches our requirements.
Excellent service again from Dave. Having booked with e shores on a number of occasions they now understand our parameters. Price, days types of hotels etc.
Having dealt with eShores for several years, and with Dave Felton in particular, the latest holiday arranged by the Company was done smoothly, professionally and to our total satisfaction. Well done and keep up the great service.
Talked with Dave asking for assistance to finf flights for my sister and injured niece from Edinburgh to Perth in W.A. avoiding the Middle East. Dave again came up trumps with flights to suit and at a good price. First class service much appreciated.
Our holiday with Eshores was excellent. Hannah went above and beyond getting us exactly what we wanted and suited us. We couldn’t recommend them enough. The holiday was excellent and all the hotels (this was a multi centre holiday) were well situated particularly the Aston Kona by the sea on The Big Island it truly…
Quick and easy to contact and arrange a basic holiday in Europe. Good price too.
Greek island hopping sorted to perfection. Anna listened to everything I wanted and came up with a detailed plan which exceeded all my expectations. Every island on my to do list and with a choice of hotels. Thank you Anna.
