Suggested itinerary

9-day route, one clear sequence.

The day order may change for hotel location, admission times, traffic, weather or a preference agreed before confirmation.

Day 1: Lisbon Tour

We'll begin by exploring Lisbon, starting in the Baixa, which was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755. Here, Pombaline architecture transformed the city with wide streets and resilient buildings. We’ll ascend to Alfama, passing by the Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa) and the Church of Santo António, with time to wander through its charming alleys.

Overnight: Lisbon

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 2: Sintra, Cascais and Estoril

On the second day, we'll visit Sintra, starting with an optional visit to Queluz Palace, famous for its Rococo style and stunning gardens. It was in this palace that Dom Pedro IV of Portugal, who was also Dom Pedro I of Brazil, was born and died. Next, we’ll explore the center of Sintra, with its artisan shops and the famous Piriquita pastry shop, where you can try the traditional Travesseiros de Sintra.

Overnight: Lisbon

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 3: Évora

On this day, we’ll explore the Alentejo region, starting with a visit to a traditional cork factory, where we’ll learn about the process from extraction to the final product. The cork oak tree, which produces cork, regenerates after harvesting, and Portugal is responsible for 55% of the world’s cork production, valued for both flooring and wine corks. Next, we’ll explore Évora, a medieval city rich in history, visiting the eerie Chapel of Bones and the Temple of Diana, in addition to appreciating the Aqueduct of Silver Water.

Overnight: Lisbon

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 4: Lisbon – Tomar – Fátima – Coimbra

On the fourth day of our itinerary, we’ll leave Lisbon for Tomar, the city of the Templars. We’ll visit the medieval part of the city, highlighting the Republic Square and the Main Church, with a stop at a famous local café, where you can try the traditional Fatias de Tomar. Next, we’ll explore the 12th-century Church of Santa Maria do Olival, the headquarters of the Order of the Templars in Portugal, where Gualdim Pais, the city’s founder, is buried.

Overnight: Coimbra

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 5: Coimbra – Aveiro – Porto

We’ll start by concluding our visit to Coimbra, exploring the Baixa, the historic center with its narrow and charming streets filled with cafés, pastry shops, and restaurants. The separation between "Alta," where the nobility and students lived, and "Baixa," dominated by commerce and craftsmanship, is one of the city’s trademarks. Next, we’ll head to Aveiro, the "Portuguese Venice," known for its canals and Art Nouveau buildings.

Overnight: Porto

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 6: Porto

Let’s discover why Porto is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. We’ll start at Casa da Música in Matosinhos and continue to Foz, the city's elegant areas. In the downtown area, we’ll explore Avenida dos Aliados, with the city hall and the statue of Dom Pedro I, and São Bento Station, with its beautiful historical tiles.

Overnight: Porto

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 7: Santiago de Compostela

On this day, we will discover the ways of Santiago, with a brief stop in Vigo for a visit. The Pescadaria street may be one suggestion, as it is one of the main tourist attractions in Vigo, where the oyster women open the legendary oysters from the Vigo estuary and prepare various dishes. Traditionally, the shellfish are bought directly from the oyster women and enjoyed fresh, with a squeeze of lemon and a glass of Alvarinho wine.

Overnight: Santiago de Compostela

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 8: Douro Valley

The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Portugal, ideal for wine lovers and stunning landscapes. We’ll start our visit in Amarante, where we can see the church and convent of São Gonçalo, along with the 18th-century bridge over the Tâmega River. Next, we’ll head to Vila Real, where we’ll visit Mateus Palace, an impressive example of Portuguese Baroque, also known for the famous Mateus Rosé wine.

Overnight: Porto

Accommodation is not included. Guests must book and pay for it separately.

Day 9: Porto – Nazaré – Alcobaça – Óbidos - Lisbon

We’ll leave Porto and return to Lisbon with delightful stops along the way. In Nazaré, we’ll see the famous giant waves and learn about the tradition of the "seven skirts" women. We’ll continue to Alcobaça, where we’ll visit Alcobaça Monastery, with its impressive central nave and the tombs of Pedro and Inês.
