Just because school is back in session doesn’t mean your family trips have to be put on hold. During the school day, kids go out for recess as a break, but sometimes that’s not enough.

Certain suites at The Schoolhouse Hotel feature art from Fountain House Gallery, a New York City venue representing artists living with mental illness. Guests staying in the suites can learn more about the artists, as well as Fountain House Gallery, during a stay in these suites.
Families can spend time outdoors at New River Gorge. The park offers 70,000 acres of natural beauty and opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, camping and water activities. Another can’t-miss outdoor adventure is Greenbrier River Trail, a 78-mile path along the Greenbrier River for biking, hiking and horseback riding.

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.
