About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour takes in a broad sweep of Portugal over nine nights, beginning in Lisbon where modern and historic elements sit side by side. Highlights include a guided coach tour calling at the Belém Tower and the Monastery of Jerónimos, followed by an evening enjoying traditional Fado music.

Travel north with a stop at Coimbra's ancient university, perched with panoramic views and home to a library boasting 300,000 volumes. Onward to Porto, where an intriguing blend of Roman history and the port wine trade is explored, including a visit and tasting at Taylor's Port Wine Lodge overlooking the Douro River.

Further days bring a visit to the sacred Bom Jesus Sanctuary near Braga, the medieval heart of Guimarães, the whitewashed walls of Óbidos, and the forested hills of Sintra. Each offers its own atmosphere, from baroque staircases to quiet cobbled streets and royal palaces decorated with striking tilework. The tour finishes back near Lisbon after a local dinner in the coastal town of Cascais.
