Tour Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Lisbon

Welcome to sun-kissed Portugal, famous for its breathtaking coastal views, delicious food, and excellent local wines. Upon arrival in Lisbon, a private driver will meet you at the airport and take you to your centrally located hotel for check-in.

There is nothing planned for the rest of the day, and you are free to start exploring the amazing city on your own.

  • Transfer: airport - hotel.
  • Meals: not included.

Day 2: Lisbon City Tour & Sunset River Cruise

This morning, you enjoy breakfast in your hotel and head to the city center to meet your local guide, who will take you around the must-see sights of stunning Lisbon.

Explore the famous landmarks of the city, such as Praça do Comércio, Bairro Alto, and the Church of São Roque, learn about the fascinating history of the remarkable sights, and get some interesting insights that you won't find in any travel guide. After all, who can show you Lisbon better than a local in love with their city? After the tour, you have a few hours free to have lunch and rest.

And in the evening, we invite you on a magical sunset cruise. Admire the magnificent views of the Portuguese capital and its beautifully illuminated sights from the water, enjoying a welcome drink and the gentle warmth of the setting sun.

There is nothing planned after the cruise, and the rest of the evening is at your leisure.

  • Meals: breakfast.

Day 3: Day Trip to Sintra

Get ready for an exciting day ahead exploring the gems of Sintra, a beautiful town nestled 25 km away from the Portuguese capital. After breakfast, meet your local guide in the hotel lobby and begin your short drive to this amazing place that, for years, was a royal sanctuary.

Your first stop is the out-of-this-world Quinta da Regaliera, a spectacular 19th-century manor. With Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish, and Renaissance features interwoven in its design, the palace is a truly special sight to behold and feels like something out of a dark fantasy book. But the true gem is its lavish gardens and the famous Initiation Well, spiraling beneath the Earth for eight stores and connected to a secret waterfall by an underground tunnel.

Next, you stop by the Pena Palace, a calling card of Sintra and a place with a very different energy than Quinta da Regaliera. Full of vibrant colors, Pena Castle looks absolutely magical, like it belongs in a Disney movie, and is surely a must-visit place during any Lisbon vacation.

After the tour of Pena Palace is over, you head back to Lisbon and have the rest of the day at leisure.

  • Meals: breakfast.

Day 4: Traditional Flavours of Lisbon

Today, you are free to explore the city on your own. And make sure to work up an appetite, as we have something special planned for the evening! Head to the city center to meet your guide, who will take you to Alfama, one of the loveliest areas of the city, and get you acquainted with the local food culture.

Visit several different venues popular among locals and try three traditional drinks excellently paired with a local bite such as salada de bacalhau and an interesting conversation with your gracious host. What is more, as you go between the venues, you will stop by several hidden gems in Alfama, broadening your knowledge of Lisbon.

Nothing is planned after the food tour, and you enjoy the evening free.

  • Meals: breakfast & dinner.

Day 5: Departure from Lisbon, Arrival to Porto & Evening Fado Show

Later that day, you head to a traditional Casa do Fado venue in central Porto and enjoy the traditional sounds of Porto, lovely Fado music, accompanied by a glass of local port wine.

After that performance is over, you enjoy the rest of the evening free.

  • Transfer: Lisbon - Porto
  • Meals: breakfast.

Day 6: Porto City Tour

The next morning, after breakfast, you head to the city center to meet your guide, who will show you the best of Porto.

    Travel Inventor organized a great tour for us through Europe. The guides were informative, and the accommodations were comfortable. However, there were some instances where we felt the optional excursions were overpriced for what they offered. Despite this, we had a fantastic trip overall and made some wonderful memories.
