Centro

For rugged terrain and unspoiled landscapes, visit this region of Portugal where the sun shines over charming old towns and beautiful architecture.

Portugal’s Centro region is located in the heart of the country with a vast coastline and diverse interior. Don’t make the mistake of passing this region by in favor of the north and the south, as Centro offers astounding views and incredible history. Visit one of Portugal’s most prestigious universities, watch surfers riding the grand swells off the coast and wander cobblestone streets past brightly painted houses. 

Stop by the old town of Coimbra, which used to be the capital of Portugal. Walk along the banks of the river, or visit the Monastery of Santa Cruz where you can find the tomb of Portugal’s first king. Coimbra is perhaps most famous for being home to Portugal’s oldest university, the University of Coimbra.

Centro’s coastlines also offer plenty of activities. Take the whole family to the calm waters of the Obidos Lagoon, spend time in the casino at Figueira da Foz or enjoy traditional seafood with rice at Praia de Vieira de Leiria. In the south of the region, Nazare is known for incredible waves and perfect surfing conditions.

In the north of the region, visit the town of Aveiro which boasts a sparkling lagoon and traditional boats that take tourists around the canals. For more natural scenery, head to Viseu and Guarda for enchanting castles and stunning views over the area.

Adventure sports are popular in the mountains and rivers. Canoe down the Mondego River just 30 minutes from Coimbra, or conquer the trails of the Serra da Estrela mountain range. In fact, Serra da Estrela is home to Portugal’s only ski resort for winter travellers hoping for some fun on the slopes.

The easiest way to travel around Centro is to rent a car from a major city and then plan your own route. Within the towns and cities, buses are the most popular choice for public transportation. Buy tickets ahead of time, as waiting until you’re on board is often more expensive. 

If you’re ready for an adventure, come to Portugal’s Centro region to discover a fascinating land of natural beauty and historic importance.

  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.
