Portugal and Austria Family Tours: Summer Planning Notes
Palaces in Sintra, tram rides in Lisbon, alpine lakes in Austria: ideas for a summer family holiday in two very different countries.
Portugal and Austria are both welcoming to families and offer plenty of variety, from beaches to mountains.
Portugal
Ride Lisbon’s yellow trams, climb the fairytale Pena Palace in Sintra and taste custard tarts near Belém Tower. The Algarve coast adds golden beaches and calm bays.
Austria
Explore Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, stroll through Salzburg’s old town and swim in a clear alpine lake near Hallstatt.
Planning notes
Both countries are in the Schengen Area, so start the visa process early for summer travel, and pace the days with plenty of outdoor time for children.
We can shape a route around your children’s ages, with family rooms and private transfers.
