DAY 1
Lisbon Airport (LIS)
Welcome to Lisbon! Arrive at any time and a transfer will be waiting to whisk you away to your hotel. There are no activities planned for this day, so feel free to explore some of the city at your doorstep. Check-in at the hotel from 2 pm. onwards.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.

DAY 2
Lisbon – Sintra – Lisbon
08h30: Meet in the hotel lobby.

Take the 30km drive to the permanently fresh and ever-romantic Sintra. Start at the National Palace before heading to the picturesque Pena Palace. Once you have finished taking in the views, head back to town to taste the Portuguese delicacy queijada, at the world-famous Piriquita pastry shop.

Head back to Lisbon to visit the 16th-century Jeronimos Monastery, the Discoveries Monument along the banks of the Tagus River, and the impressive Belem Tower. Make a visit to Pastéis de Belem, world-famous purveyors of pasteis de nata, who have managed to hold on to their secret recipe for nearly 200 years. Enjoy a demonstration and tasting of these treasured treats before heading back to your hotel for the evening.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.
Physical activities: Pena Palace features stairs and sloped streets without elevator access.
If you have mobility concerns or prefer to avoid crowded areas with long lines, we can substitute Pena Palace with Queluz Palace in your itinerary.

Let us customize your trip to fit your preferences!
Meals: Breakfast, Pastry Pastel de Belém (One Portuguese custard tart and one coffee are included. For a non-alcoholic beverage option, please ask your local guide), and Pastry Piriquita (two cakes).

DAY 3
Lisbon – Nazare – Fatima – Braga
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

Your day on Portugal’s “Silver Coast” begins in Nazare. This picturesque village got its name from a statue of the Virgin Mary brought to town from Nazareth by a monk in the 4th century.
High above the town is Sitio, reached by a funicular that climbs 110m (360ft). We will visit the 17th-century Nossa Senhora da Nazare Church with splendid 18th-century tiles depicting Biblical scenes. It also contains a revered image of Our Lady of Nazareth taken down to the sea in a traditional procession every September.

However, Nazare might be best known for its waves. In 2011, surfer Garret McNamara changed the history of Nazare when he was towed into a 78-foot monster swell. At the time, it was the largest wave ever surfed. Every winter since this sleepy seaside town hosts some of the best surfers in the world in hopes of catching their own monster waves.

After lunch, we will stop at the imposing Santuário de Fátima, a destination for Catholic pilgrims from across the world. On May 13, 1917, three children who were herding sheep observed an apparition of the Virgin Mary, as a response, the sanctuary and Chapel of the Apparition were built.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast.

DAY 4
Porto – Full Day
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

We begin our day with a car-free walking tour through the historic center of Porto, using pedestrian streets. Beginning with the impressive collection of over 20,000 blue tiles in São Bento Train Station. Proceeding to the 12th-century Porto Cathedral, where you’ll discover the city’s unique history while taking in sweeping views of the Douro River. Next, we will venture down the alleys of the medieval district to the commercial street of “Rua das Flores,” to take in buskers and craftspeople selling their wares. Being the most lively area in town, this is where we will have lunch at a restaurant favored by locals.

In the afternoon, you will be treated to a guided visit to a traditional wine cellar, or cave, to taste the rich, sophisticated, and world-renowned fortified wine – Port.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.

DAY 6
Braga – Half Day
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

After breakfast, we have a short lecture about the Bom Jesus do Monte Shrine prior to our visit. Upon arrival, our ascent will be made on the funicular. The first on the Iberian Peninsula! This lift uses a system of water counterbalancing to pull the funicular up and down the steep incline. The success of this tram inspired Lisbon to install its own version, which we still see in the city today. Our descent will be made on foot. Next, we will explore the cathedral and downtown area. The second half of the day will be free time for you to explore on your own or take a rest in our hotel. Duration: 1/2 day.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Physical activities: The walking tour in Braga will be car-free, utilizing pedestrian streets and lasting 3 hours. The pilgrimage church has steps. You can optionally use the funicular to go down, although this will not cover all the stairs.
Meals: Breakfast.

DAY 7
Oporto Airport (OPO) or Braga Train Station
Our time of discovery will have come to an end. Check-out at the hotel by 11 am, after which we will arrange your transportation to either the Oporto Airport (OPO) or Braga train station.
