Portugal – From Porto to Lisbon
On the trail of SaudadePortugal, the land by the sea and home to legendary explorers, is one of Europe’s oldest nations. This journey takes you to the heart and soul of the country: discover the historic centers of Porto and Lisbon, spend a day in the enchanting Douro Valley, and visit Guimarães, the cradle of the Portuguese nation.
Along the way, you will explore Coimbra’s ancient university, walk in the footsteps of the Knights Templar in Tomar, feel the spiritual atmosphere of Fátima, and listen to the ocean in Nazaré. In Lisbon, let yourself be carried away by the sounds of Fado, and at Europe’s westernmost point, breathe in the salty Atlantic air. From the vineyards of the Douro to the vibrant streets of Lisbon, Portugal reveals its many facets – rich, diverse, and deeply moving.
Stay in carefully selected ****hotels in prime locations: in Porto’s historic Ribeira district by the Douro river, amidst the vineyards of the Douro Valley with breathtaking views, and on Lisbon’s elegant Avenida da Liberdade.
