Lisbon and Porto, two great destinations for golf holidays, among Europe’s friendliest

According to the 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards of Condé Nast Traveler, where the readers of the popular magazine decide the winners, Lisbon and Porto are among the friendliest cities in Europe. These are two stunning destinations for golf holidays.

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, has been considered the 8th friendliest city in Europe, while Porto, in the North, ranked 5th.

Condé Nast Traveler writes that Lisbon has fast become a stalwart favourite for weekend getaways, weaving together historic cobblestone streets, Neoclassical and Art Deco architecture that escaped destruction along the way, and more contemporary draws too, including selections from some of Europe’s most exciting chefs at the best restaurants in Lisbon and high-end fashion boutiques.

Condé Nast Traveler claims that the city of Porto is becoming increasingly popular as a holiday destination thanks to its sunny weather, traditional charm, diverse architectural styles, friendly locals, and exciting nightlife. As a result, Porto’s hotel industry has expanded to include both unique boutique hotels and well-known luxury chains.

The Lisbon region is the second most popular golf holiday destination in Portugal, right after the Algarve, and has some of the finest golf courses in Europe, like Praia D’El Rey, in Óbidos, and Oitavos Dunes, in Cascais.

While the Porto region has a smaller variety of golf courses, it still features brilliant golf courses like Estela and Oporto Golf Club, which is the oldest golf course in Portugal.

Portugal Golf Holidays – Three Portuguese destinations among the best in Europe for spring breaks

Praia da Marinha. Three Portuguese regions regarded as ideal for spring breaks

Three Portuguese destinations for spring breaks

The famous magazine Lonely Planet has placed the Western Algarve, Madeira and Azores among the best for spring breaks in Europe. Consider these regions for your next golf holidays.

At the Western Algarve, part of the most famous Portuguese destination for golf holidays, Lonely Planet recommends the whitewashed little towns, the stunning beaches, the fabulous Cabo de São Vicente, and the natural park of Costa Vicentina on the west coast of the region. The Western Algarve has brilliant golf courses, some of the best in Europe, like Palmares in Portimão and Boavista in Lagos. Challenging but marvellous golf rounds are waiting for you in the Algarve.

Of the Azores, the magazine highlights the island of São Miguel, the biggest of the archipelago. Lonely Planet describes the Azores as stepping stones over the mid-Atlantic that resemble a lost planet with their jagged cliffs, waterfalls, and crystalline lakes. In São Miguel, it is suggested the geothermal marvels of Furnas, the Terra Nostra botanical gardens, and the Sete Cidades lagoon, known as the main natural attraction of the Azores. Despite the small size, the Azores have wonderful golf courses, with Batalha being often considered the best.

Lonely Planet calls Madeira the ‘island of the eternal spring’ and describes the island as a botanist’s fantasy. The magazine’s recommendations are a delicious wine tasting in Funchal, the wonderful Botanical Gardens of Madeira, the Cabo Girão and the traditional toboggan rides on Madeira’s steep streets. Madeira has dazzling golf courses like Santo da Serra that are ready to give you a great holiday experience.

The Portugal Masters is returning to Vilamoura

The most prestigious tournament of golf in Portugal returns to the Dom Pedro Victoria golf course. The dates for the Portugal Masters 2022 have been set for October 27th-30th, with the Pro-Am taking place on the 26th and a prize money of 1.75 million euros.

This is the 16th year in a row that the popular golf holiday destination Vilamoura will host its major golf tournament, the only one in Portugal to be part of the so-called “first division” of European professional golf.

Since its establishment in 2007, it has been held annually at the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, which was designed by the great Arnold Palmer.

The Portugal Masters is a testament to the high calibre of Portugal’s golf courses and tourist infrastructures, allowing it to attract golf’s most accomplished players. Due to the Portugal Masters’ prominence on the DP Tour’s European Circuit since 2007, the Algarve has been widely recognized as one of the world’s top golfing locations.

Around 40.000 people are expected to attend the Portugal Masters 2022. The tournament will receive extensive coverage from the international press.

With a score of 19 under par, Belgian golfer Thomas Pieters won the Portugal Masters in 2021, giving him his fifth title on the DP World Tour. In the end, Pieters had a two-stroke advantage over the runners-up, the Frenchman Matthieu Pavon, Lucas Bjerregaard of Denmark, and the 2017 champion, Nicolai Hojgaard, also from Denmark.
