Tour Highlights

  • Lisbon: Experience a half-day tour of Lisbon, exploring its charming cobblestone streets and vibrant pastel-colored buildings. Visit the historic Alfama district with its Arab influenced alleys, then head to Belém to see the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries. End the tour with a taste of the famous “Pastéis de Belém” pastry.
  • Evora: We transfer from the Algarve to Cascais, and visit Evora en route. Portugal’s Golden Age lives on in this beautiful, historic city. On our walking tour we see the Roman temple and wall, the Gothic Cathedral, the Aqueduct and its fountains. This historic centre is on UNESCO’s Heritage List. Lunch is included today.
  • Santa Maria Coast: Faro—capital of the Algarve, the typical Moorish fishing village of Olhão.
  • Lagos and Sagres: Lagos is known for its beautiful church and castle walls, while Sagres is where Portuguese explorers learned their navigation skills. We also visit Cape St. Vincent—the westernmost point in Europe.
  • Monchique Mountains: We begin with a visit to Silves, the old Moorish capital of the Algarve, where we’ll view the cathedral and visit the castle. Then on to the wonderful panoramic views from Fóia, the highest point in southern Portugal.
  • Queluz & Sintra: We begin with a visit of the magnificent national palace in Queluz, the country’s finest example of Rococo architecture. Then we take a short walk in the old city centre of Sintra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
  • Obidos, Nazare and Fatima: A full-day tour to the medieval town of Óbidos, the fishing village of Nazaré, and Fatima—home to one of the most important catholic shrines in the world which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
