Portugal tourism set to rise with new flights

More people are expected to fly to Portugal over the next year, easyJet has said.

The budget airline has predicted an increase in the number of people visiting the country as it announced the opening of a new flight route from Liverpool's John Lennon Airport to Lisbon.

Running four times per week, the route is expected to carry around 43,000 passengers in the coming year and will be the perfect option for those wanting both city breaks and longer holidays.

Fares will start at just £38.98 return to the capital city that Lonely Planet describes as culturally diverse and "laid-back".

Lisbon is the largest city in Portugal with tourist attractions including the Tagus River (Rio Tejo) in Belem and the Orient Station (Gare do Oriente).

Investors interested in finding properties in the country will also benefit from the new flights as there is a range of new developments being built within 30 minutes drive of the airport, reports Homesworldwide.co.uk.

Flights will leave on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays.
