Overview
Itinerary
You’ll begin your holiday with a direct flight to Lisbon. Our driver will collect you on arrival for your transfer to the Alecrim ao Chiado.
You’ll take an electric tuk-tuk tour of central Lisbon. It’s a great introduction to the city, its history and its cuisine, with visits to the Praca do Comercio, medieval Alfama and Bairro Alto.
You'll have a free day to take the train west to the historic Belem district – home to the 16th century Jeronimos Monastery, the Torre de Belem and the Padrao dos Descobrimentos monument.
You’ll leave Lisbon today, taking the Alfa Pendular train north to Porto for a four-night stay at Jardins do Porto, in the Cedofeita district of the city.
You'll take a walking tour of Porto, with visits to the Sé Cathedral and the Mercado do Balhao. Your afternoon’s free – you might like to cross the iconic Ponte de Dom Luis I Bridge into twin city Vila Nova de Gaia, for a guided tour of the famous port wine lodges.
Your day’s free – you might like to ride the city’s vintage Linho 1 tram, heading downriver to the mouth of the Douro at Foz. In the afternoon, (and if you’re feeling energetic), you could climb the 240 steps to the top of the Clerigos Tower – the 75m high baroque bell tower of the Igreja dos Clerigos - for a 360⁰ view of the whole city.
You’ll take the Linho Douro train from Porto’s famous Sao Bento station. Consistently voted one of Europe’s top ten rail journeys, the Douro Valley line winds its way through rustic villages and isolated olive farms, to the sleepy hamlet of Pinhao: arguably the true centre of the port wine industry. You’ll take a river cruise, followed by a wine tasting at a local vineyard, before returning to Porto by train.
Our driver will transfer you to the airport for your flight home.
