About
Step into the soul of Portugal, where rich history meets breathtaking landscapes! Start your journey with a guided walking tour through Lisbon’s buzzing downtown and historic Alfama district, capped off with epic views from Castelo de São Jorge. At night, dive into local culture with a traditional Portuguese dinner and live Fado music. Next, escape to the fairytale town of Sintra to explore the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira. Then enjoy free time to roam the charming streets and grab lunch wherever adventure takes you. Afterward, head to the dramatic cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, before returning to Lisbon for a night to explore on your own. End your trip in iconic Belém, where you’ll visit the grand Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the Torre de Belém, and taste the world-famous Pastel de Belém.
