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 stars hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.
Suggestion: Sunset Cruise on Tagus River or Lisbon Downtown Walking Tour. Check out our tour extension!

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 stars hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.
Meals: Breakfast, Pastry Pastel de Belém (one Portuguese custard tart and one coffee are included), and Pastry Piriquita (one cake and one coffee are included).

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 stars hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast.

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

We start the day with a walking tour through the historic center of Porto. 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. We pass the astonishing City Hall and continue up to the Clérigos Tower, next to the buzzing university. Being the most lively area in town, this is where we will have lunch at a restaurant favored by locals.

In the afternoon, discover the city’s modern district, Boavista, and home of the magnificent “Casa da Música.” A stylish concert hall and beloved city landmark. Afterward, we will cross the Douro to the Vila Nova de Gaia neighborhood. Here 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.

With the taste of port still on your tongue, it will be time to enjoy a one-hour boat cruise along the Douro River aboard a traditional Rabelo. Experience the panoramic views of the surrounding hills, red-tiled rooftops of medieval houses, as well as the famous bridges of the city from the water.

Accommodation: 4 stars hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Port Wine Tasting.

DAY 5
Douro Valley – Full-Day
08h30 am: Meet in the lobby.

You’ll start the day by visiting a wine producer, where you will learn more about the vibrance and complexities of port wine. From here, you will be driven through the Douro Valley with its breathtaking landscapes. Lunch will be provided in a traditional restaurant. You will finish the tour with a boat trip to contemplate the sweeping views of the valley, river, and vines beyond (1 hour).

Accommodation: 4 stars hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Boat trip in the Douro River, and Port Wine Tasting.

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 their 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 stars hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast.

DAY 7
