Immerse yourself in the eclectic charm of this vibrant capital, with its wide tree-lined boulevards and an atmospheric Moorish quarter with its maze of cobbled streets plus delightfully picturesque Sintra and the beautiful Roman city of Coimbra, steeped in history and tradition.
Commencing in the Roman city of Porto, the home of Port wine, Portugal’s once wild river Douro has been tamed by locks into resembling a series of finger lakes, adding greatly to the valley's ambience. Leaving behind the Atlantic influenced greenery of the coast you are soon immersed in a Mediterranean land of olives, vines, and picturesque, medieval hilltop villages. Our destination is the higher reaches of the valley from where we visit Salamanca - home of one of Europe’s oldest universities, two of its finest cathedrals, Spain’s finest city square and even the Inquisition!
You will adore the away-from-it-all experience and visit some of Iberia’s most beautiful medieval towns, monasteries and vineyards, and feel you have been away for months!
Head south to the beautiful Roman city of Coimbra and discover the tranquil sanctuary of Fatima. Next, explore the famous sights of Lisbon before travelling to the picturesque town of Sintra, with its panoramic views and the famous Royal Palace.
Prices are per person, based on two people sharing a cabin and hotel room. Sole occupancy cabins/rooms are available at the relevant supplement. The price includes:
