Portugal
Lisbon's pastel charm, Porto's wine cellars, the Algarve's golden cliffs, and Sintra's fairy-tale palaces.
Overview
About this package
Six days through Portugal's soulful side. Ride Lisbon's rattling Tram 28 past tiled façades, hear a fado singer's voice crack in a candlelit taberna, then head north to Porto's riverside Ribeira district and the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, where the port wine that made this valley famous is still made exactly as it was two centuries ago. Add Belém Tower's riverside grandeur, a ride on Lisbon's rattling Tram 28, and a walk across Porto's Dom Luís I Bridge, and six days capture Portugal's soulful north and south.
