Portugal, FOUND: Where Soulful Travel
Meets Coastal Charm

Portugal is the kind of place that sneaks up on you. It doesn’t shout — it slowly unfolds. One minute you’re sipping vinho verde in a tiled alleyway, the next you’re standing on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic, wondering how something this beautiful can feel so relaxed.

It’s a country full of contrasts: historic yet fresh, deeply rooted yet ever-evolving. From the cobbled streets of Lisbon to the golden cliffs of the Algarve and the wine-soaked valleys of the north, Portugal is a destination for travelers seeking beauty with a touch of soul.

At Found, we’re drawn to Portugal for its ease, elegance, and deeply layered charm. It’s ideal for romantic escapes, slow group travel, and design-forward adventures with substance.

The FOUND Way to Travel Portugal

We look for the details that most travelers miss. The wine bar with three tables and no menu. The modern boutique is situated within a 17th-century building. The seaside town where you can unplug but still eat like royalty.

Portugal allows you to slow down without sacrificing your experience. And that’s why we keep going back.

    Make It

  • Our Favorite Places in Portugal

    Lisbon – Effortlessly cool, walkable, and full of stories

    Porto – Moody, historic, and rich with wine culture

    Algarve – Coastal cliffs, slow towns, and hidden beaches

    Comporta – Chic, barefoot luxury just south of Lisbon

    Douro Valley – Vineyard views, river cruises, and serious relaxation

  • How to Travel Around Portugal

    Trains between major cities are efficient and scenic

    Private drivers recommended for wine country or multi-city trips

    Lisbon is hilly but walkable; Porto, too

    Rent a car for Comporta or the Algarve if exploring deeply

    Found Tip: Portugal is small but varied — don’t try to cram it all in. We love building 1–2 region itineraries that go deeper, not wider.
