Portugal. Travel to Feel.
“After all, the best way to travel is to feel” wrote Álvaro de Campos, one of the diverse identities of Fernando Pessoa, Portugal’s most famous poet.
We want you to feel proud to be who you are as we feel about our country’s colourful landscape, as a leading LGBTI destination.
Among the 20 most visited countries in the world and considered one of the safest ones, in Portugal you will feel the warmth of the sun and of our people, you will discover tastes and textures of a unique and rich culture.
The Proudly Portugal project wants to show you the limitless sceneries the country has to offer as a leading LGBTI destination, with meaningful and memorable experiences.
This project aims at the promotion of Portugal as an LGBTI friendly country, showing the value, beauty and power of diversity while reinforcing the importance of local Pride and LGBTI initiatives across Portugal, giving sustenance and permanence to a national movement that will inspire others and make them want to travel.
After all, to travel is to feel.
