About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour begins in Lisbon, where a morning coach tour covers key sights like the Monument to the Discoveries, Belém Tower, and the sprawling Monastery of Jerónimos. Afternoons are left free for those who want to linger in the Baixa quarter or sample bica in a cosy café. Next is a day in Sintra, a UNESCO-listed town set among forested hills; the visit includes the medieval Royal Palace with its tilework and historic collections, and ample free time to explore or visit other local landmarks such as Pena Palace.

The journey continues north through Coimbra, known for its Roman aqueduct and one of Europe’s oldest universities, complete with a baroque library and extensive volumes. Arriving in Porto, the tour covers the Ribeira square, Dom Luis Bridge, and port wine lodges. A highlight is the day-long exploration of the Douro Valley, including a boat trip on the river and a visit to Pinhão, a small town at the heart of the port wine region, ending with a tasting at a local quinta.

The final day offers leisure in Porto to visit shops, the Lello & Irmão bookstore, or cruise the Douro once more before returning home. The pace balances guided visits with free time in notable Portuguese settings rich in history and local character.
