Highlights of Portugal

Start your Portuguese adventure by arriving in Lisbon at any time. If you're keen on exploring the historic district of Belém, we suggest arriving early to visit the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Please note that most attractions in Belém are closed on Mondays. You'll also have the opportunity to meet your group and CEO. If you wish to explore Lisbon independently before the tour begins, pre-tour accommodation can be arranged.

Begin the day with a CEO-led orientation walk of Lisbon. The rest of the day is yours to explore. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Portuguese dinner accompanied by a Fado performance in one of Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods. You also have the option to take a day trip to the picturesque city of Sintra, known for its pastel-colored houses, palaces, majestic gardens, and lush forests.

Bid farewell to Lisbon and head north to the small hill town of Batalha, renowned for its ornate gothic monastery built to commemorate Portugal's victory in the infamous battle of Aljubarrota. After exploring the Monastery of Batalha, continue to Coimbra, the medieval capital of Portugal.

Spend the day exploring Coimbra at your own pace. You may choose to visit the famous Coimbra University, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through the city's winding streets and riverfront filled with restaurants and bars. Alternatively, you can opt for a day trip to the nearby coastal town of Aveiro or the pilgrimage sites of Fátima.

Enjoy a free day to explore Porto. You may opt to take a cruise down the Douro River or explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ribeira district. In the evening, visit the Port Wine Cellars and indulge in a tasting session to become a connoisseur of this famous Portuguese wine.
