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.
