Meet the Itinerary

Day 1 - Watch a Fado show

On arrival in Lisbon, you will have a private transfer to take you to the hotel.

On this night, you will attend a Fado show (traditional Portuguese music) and you will be entitled to a welcome dinner (included), where you will be able to taste some of the best known dishes of the portuguese cuisine.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Lisbon.

Day 2 - Feel the essence of Lisbon

After breakfast, a transfer will pick you up from your hotel for a Half Day City Tour with our local guide, who will show you the main places of interest in the portuguese capital.

The tour will start at Avenida da Liberdade, one of the city's main streets which, in monarchical times, the nobility and the royal family strolled and exhibited to the people. Then we will head for the Parque Eduardo VII, the largest park in central Lisbon, to enjoy the views over the city. This name was given in 1903 in honour of the English King Edward VII, who visited the Portuguese capital to reaffirm the alliance between the two countries.

Next, we will visit some of Lisbon's most typical and picturesque neighbourhoods, such as Alfama and Bairro Alto, where traditions are still preserved, reflecting the mixture of people from different cultures and beliefs over the centuries.

We will finish our visit in Praça do Comércio, one of the largest squares in Europe and home to some government institutions. From here you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the Tagus River and contemplate the bustle of the city, which merge into a harmonious landscape.

In the afternoon, you will have free time to relax or engage in other activities.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Lisbon.

Day 3 - Be enchanted by Sintra and Cascais

After breakfast at the hotel, a private transfer will take you to visit Sintra and Cascais throughout the day.

Sintra is 30 km from Lisbon and offers a preview of Paradise. The permanent freshness ensured by the mild climate and the dense and luxuriant vegetation make Sintra a deeply romantic and mysterious place. The main monuments in the town include Palácio da Vila, Palácio da Pena and Castelo dos Mouros (closed on 24th and 25th December, 1st January and Easter Sunday).

In the afternoon, you will visit Cascais, a beautiful fishing village which has existed since the 12th century and is still very well preserved today.

The return to Lisbon will be along the coast, where you will have the opportunity to pass through Estoril to admire the beautiful coastline and its beaches.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Lisbon.

Day 4 - Have a cultural and wine experience in Évora

After breakfast, a transfer will take you to the city of Évora for a full day visit with a wine tasting.

Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, Évora is called the "White City" and also the "Museum City". This Alentejo city dazzles its visitors with exuberant churches, thousand-year-old monuments, historic squares, white houses and medieval streets, reflections of a great mixture of cultures.

After lunch, you will visit the installations of a wine producing farm, where you will get to know the production process and at the end you will have a wine tasting.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel in Lisbon.
