Golf Portugal promotes the Lisbon golf coast for many more reasons other than just the golf itself.Sure, it has fine internationally renowned courses,many set in natural surroundings with inspiring landscapes,but Lisbon is more than just this.

Boasting 800 years of history and known as the “white city” due to its distinctive light,Lisbon is an all inspiring city having diverse restaurants,bustling nightlife and most importantly a temperate climate averaging around 11.5 degrees in January up to 22.8 in August though do not let Augusts average mislead you as it can easily reach 30 degrees plus.

Although a Golf Portugal golf holiday to Lisbon will be uppermost in the golfers thoughts,this region has amazing beaches,crystal clear water and so can still be a fabulous destination for golfers and families alike.Numerous open air cafes are strung along the beachfront and just to sit there and take in the dramatic views, while succumbing to the temptation of traditional cuisines accompanied by a glass of fine Portuguese wine, is well worth the visit before a golf club has been raised in anger.

One of the most important observations golfers and families alike will find having took golf holiday or weekend break etc it that Lisbon is multicultural,diverse,friendly,radiant but above all Lisbon is a safe city.We know all cities have their own unique problems but generally speaking crime is much less in Lisbon and the same can be said of Portugal itself,a massively important factor when choosing a destination to visit.

We at Golf Portugal hope this article has given you a small insight into Lisbon and maybe wetted your appetite to not only plan a Portugal golf holiday but a Lisbon golf holiday and also take the family along, enjoy!
