This is a sample itinerary, which is fully customizable. This 10-day Portuguese group vacation showcases some of Portugal’s most famous sites, as well as the lovely villages and historic landmarks that are often missed on typical tours. In the capital Lisbon, your group will get a cultural introduction to Portugal with a city tour, painting workshop, and evening show where you’ll listen to the haunting rhythms of Fado music. Then begin your journey across the nation to Portugal’s hidden corners.
Gaze out upon the waters of the Atlantic from Rocca Cape, the westernmost tip of the European continent. Explore the defensive walls and medieval fortifications of the village of Obidos. Marvel at the Monumental Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria in Alcobaca, founded almost a thousand years ago. Take the pilgrimage route to Fatima, where three shepherds were blessed with visions of the Virgin Mary in 1917. Learn to cook some local favourites in Mirad’aire before you tour the canals, workshops, and oyster farms of Aveiro, known as the Portuguese Venice. Cross the Passadicos de Paiva, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. Then cap off the group vacation with a few days in Porto and the Douro Valley, exploring the famous home of port wine with some wine tastings, and cruising down the Douro River on a boat tour.
