Walking holidays in Portugal, Madeira & the Azores

Intricately painted tiles, storks nesting on sea stacks, colourful flowers and, of course, famous wines, mean that our walking holidays in Portugal are about more than walking. We actively encourage you to delight in the details – an elegant manor house, the sunlight dancing on the sea – this is what Inntravel holidays are all about. And since you’re not with a group, and have no luggage (we transfer it between hotels), you can do just that, taking your time to enjoy a walking holiday that's worth it.

On the mainland you can walk in the Douro Valley, the grandeur of which is striking; enjoy mountain hikes in the country’s only national park; stay in wonderful manor houses as you discover the lush Minho; marvel at the castles and exuberant gardens on the way to Sintra; follow beautiful paths along the wild Costa Vicentina; discover the Setúbal Peninsula’s idyllic coastline; or explore the quiet side of the Algarve. Further afield, walking in Madeira is special due to the wealth of flowers, or you might like to consider the Azores. Walking here reveals dramatic volcanoes and crater lakes.

Are our walking holidays in Portugal right for you?

When it comes to walking, Portugal caters particularly well for those looking for easy-to-moderate or moderate walking. To be sure of choosing the walking holiday in Portugal that is right for you, read how we grade them below. For great flexibility and the chance to mix walking and sightseeing as the mood takes you, choose a centre-based holiday (take your pick of the Algarve, western Madeira or the Azores).
  • These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
  • You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
  • Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
  • Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
  • Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
  • Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
