- TAP Air Portugal

Travel with TAP Air Portugal to Portugal and South America

TAP Air Portugal is Portugal´s national flag carrier. You can, of course, fly to Lisbon and the Algarve with TAP, but you can also connect to the Azores, Africa or South America – all areas that are logical destinations given Portugal´s rich history of exploration. As Portugal is extremely dependent on tourism, TAP Air Portugal is an important player when it comes to bringing tourists to Portugal – and not only to Lisbon, but also to all four corners of the country.
You can fly with them to Portugal every day of the year. They have flights to Faro on the Algarve via Lisbon, to Porto in the north, to Funchal, Madeira and to 8 of the 9 islands in the Azores. Air Portugal has been flying for over 70 years and currently flies to 60 destinations all over the world. In addition to its many European destinations, Air Portugal primarily flies to destinations in Africa and Brazil, with up to 60 departures a week. This is, of course, because of the many colonies Portugal once had around the world. Right up until the present day, its ties with Brazil remain close. If you travel with TAP Air Portugal to Brazil, you will also notice that many of their hotels and companies are from Portugal.

Or get on a mountain bike, maybe for the first time, and enjoy riding in the mountains on well-marked paths in fantastic and safe surroundings.
The Austrian Alps have everything you need to enjoy a vacation full of unforgettable experiences all year round. That´s the reason why some of Europe´s highest mountains, deepest valleys and idyllic meadows and routes satisfy the needs not only of active sportsmen and women, but also of anyone who loves peaceful surroundings and the outdoor life .
