Stargazing in Portugal

The contrast between the dark night sky and the illumination of the stars, planets, and galaxies within it, is one of the things that make the Alentejo a rare and special place on Earth. Portugal is world-renowned for being one of the top places in the world to observe the night sky, thanks to the creation of the 3,000 sq km reserve in Portugal’s central Alentejo region.

Beyond the Alentejo, you can savor constellations and planets, as well as the Milky Way and the Orion Nebula, in various parts of Portugal. The archipelago of the Azores in the Macaronesia region of the North Atlantic Ocean, Penedes Geres Natural Park along the northern Portuguese border, and Sagres on the southwestern tip of the country equally provide breathtaking views.

Let us help you find the perfect stargazing experience, which can equally be paired with night kayaking, night walking, or blind tastings of Portuguese wines.
