Portugal: Lisbon, Porto & the Douro

Departures

March to October

Duration

10 Days

Locations

Lisbon, Porto, Douro Valley

Overview

Portugal is a treasure trove of stunning coastlines, historic cities, little-explored interiors, plenty of sun and lots of great food. Lisbon is a picture-postcard of cobbled alleyways and tiled cathedrals, cradled by seven cinematic slopes overlooking the Rio Tejo. Porto is equally as beautiful and just as hilly, emanating a vibrant yet laid-back aura. And the Douro Valley is a pastoral paradise of charming towns – and tantalizing wine.

    Upon your arrival in the dynamic capital city of Lisbon enjoy a private transfer to your hotel where you will have the rest of the day free to unwind from your journey, settle into your hotel and explore the local neighborhood.
