Special Offer N - Lisbon - Portugal - Costa Less Golf

The capital of Portugal, Lisbon has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with a contemporary culture that is alive and thriving and making its mark in today's Europe. Perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon uses water as an element that defines the city, which is one of Europe’s busiest ports. Well served by international flights and enjoying mild winters and warm to hot summers, Lisbon can offer an interesting alternative for golf holidays and breaks in Portugal. Lisbon is rich in culture and history, and has an abundance of excellent accommodation and fine dining making the area perfect for breaks or holidays in Portugal. Historic churches and monasteries in the Baixa Pombalina district and St.George’s Castle perched above the town draw visitors and holidaymakers, while the Avenida de Roma is filled with endless possibilities for shopping and night –time entertainment. Restaurants specialise in fresh seafood from the Atlantic and wines from Porto and local vineyards, and many venues combine dinner with fado, the traditional Portuguese musical style, for an entertaining evening. Cascais, just a few miles away, is a stylish beach suburb with more upscale stores, and there are further attractions to add to your golf break or holiday in Portugal, such as a racetrack and the world-class casino in nearby Estoril which inspired the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale. Whilst it may not have the quantity of courses on offer as the Algarve area of Portugal, Lisbon’s “Golf Coast” has a dozen highly rated golf courses, mostly between Sintra and Estoril, and was voted Europe's best golf destination in 2007 by members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO).
