Halloween Around the World

Americans often celebrate Halloween by dressing in costume, throwing parties, and eating lots and lots of candy. Going from house to house (or store to store, trunk to trunk, whatever is safest in your neighborhood) is practically a rite of passage for kids. But have you ever wondered how the holiday is celebrated in other countries? If so, read on to learn about Halloween traditions in other countries.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
