Itinerary
Arrive in Porto and head to your comfortable accommodations. Take a moment to relax and unpack, then head out to explore the city. A good place to start would be Cordoaria Garden. Enjoy an evening walk then finish the day with a local Portuguese dinner.
It's your first full day on Porto vacation, so head out and explore the best of the city. Stroll around the riverside Cais da Ribeira, admire the Luís I Bridge, and marvel at cute pastel-colored houses.
Before going back to the hotel, try to get a ride on the Elevador da Ribeira, an industrial elevator providing scenic views of the area.
Visitors often rate the Douro Valley as the best thing to do in Porto, and there are many options when it comes to exploring the area. You can simply admire the stunning scenery or enjoy wine and food tasting tours.
If you'd rather stay in the city center, then consider walking around the lively Praça da Liberdade or taking a stroll along the Foz do Douro.
Depart from Porto towards Lisbon today on an included rail ride. Enjoy the scenic views before checking into your hotel, then start the second half of your Portugal vacation by tasting Pastel de Natas at a local shop. Finish the day with a walk around Parque Eduardo VII.
Check out one of the most popular attractions in Lisbon today by visiting the Torre de Belém. You may also like visiting the popular St George’s Castle and Monastery of Jerónimos. Afterwards, enjoy a ride on the famous Tram 28 to get incredible views of Portugal’s capital city.
Consider visiting Sintra today, which is one of the best day trips from Lisbon. This magical town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is filled with fairy tale palaces and colorful mansions. If you'd rather stay in central Lisbon, then explore the vibrant Alfama District.
This incredible multi-city Portugal vacation is now at an end. Collect your belonging, head to the airport, and board your flight home.
