Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Tauck's 8 Day A Week In... Portugal. Portugal may be small but it's big on vibrant culture, history, and natural beauty that invite intimate exploration. Discover the seafaring charms of the coast, the lush river valley vineyards, the hilltop castles and villages in its alpine interior and monuments to man-made achievements during stays in gracious palace hotels and pousadas.

Itinerary

Tour begins: 6:00 PM, Hotel Infante Sagres. A transfer is included from Porto Int'l Airport to Hotel Infante Sagres in the city's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Please join us tonight for a welcome reception followed by dinner at the hotel. Stay Two Nights: Hotel Infante Sagres (D)

Colorful, eclectic Porto rises on staggered hills beside the Douro River where the river empties into the Atlantic. Port wine originated here in the 17th century and is still the region's mainstay product, brought down from the vineyards of the Douro River Valley. Public art is everywhere in the boldly colored painted tiles (azulejos) that adorn city buildings.

A guided ride aboard a traditional rabelo boat along the Douro River precedes a visit a port wine cellar for a tour and tasting before lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Douro. Return to your hotel in Porto's historic district to relax and spend the rest of the afternoon and evening as you please. (B/L)

This morning travel to Coimbra, located on the Mondego River in central Portugal, for a guided tour of one of the oldest universities in the world. The University of Coimbra was actually founded in Lisbon in 1290 but relocated here in 1308. Visit its 18th-century library, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to some 56,000 volumes, many of which date from the 16th to 18th centuries.

Travel to Batalha for a visit to the Monastery of Batalha; it is the site of João d'Avis' tomb, along with those of his wife and four of their children (notably including Henry the Navigator). The monastery offers a mix of Gothic and Manueline architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Continue on to the seaside Praia D'EI Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort near Óbidos for an overnight stay. Stay: Praia D'El Rey Marriott Golf and Beach Resort (B/L/D)

Spend the morning exploring on your own in the hilltop walled town of Óbidos, described by Condé Nast Traveler as "a medieval town that looks like it was lifted from the pages of a fairy tale."

Enjoy time to wander along its cobbled streets that meander up to the ramparts, passing picturesque whitewashed houses charming with cascading bougainvillea and painted doors of every color. According to a popular legend, ever since King Dinis gifted this pretty town to his beloved Queen Isabel de Aragon in the 13th century, princes have offered it to their brides too. Lunch today is at a traditional estate in the Tejo wine region (formerly Ribatejo).

This evening, check into your luxury hotel, a restored 15th-century convent outside of town, where dinner offers a choice of Alentejo specialties. Stay Two Nights: Convento do Espinheiro (B/L/D)

Start your day with a walking tour of Évora's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including its beautiful botanical gardens. The city's history reaches back 2,000 years; Portuguese kings resided here during the country's Golden Age, and you'll see royal palaces with a rich variety of architectural styles as your local guide peels back Évora's layers of history with stories about its Roman roots, its Moorish influences, and its glory years in the Middle Ages as a seat of learning and the arts.

After lunch at a local restaurant, return to your hotel in Évora and spend the rest of the day and evening as you wish. (B/L/D)

Depart Évora and head for Portugal's colorful capital city of Lisbon; upon arrival, enjoy a guided visit to the Maritime Museum (Museu de Marinha) – a "world of discoveries" that takes you from the great adventure of the Discoveries to the evolution of the commercial and war navies within an impressive collection of 23,000 pieces.

Next, enjoy a guided, panoramic tour of the Belem district, where you can see the Monument to the Discoveries before enjoying lunch of local specialties at the stylish rooftop restaurant of your landmark Lisbon hotel. Spend the rest of the afternoon and evening as you please in this historic city. Stay Two Nights: Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa (B/L)

Today, visit Sintra – a romantic city of castles, monuments, and palatial estates, where your morning includes a tour of the National Palace of Pena, a romantic, 19th-century retreat crowning a mountain peak, and resplendent with yellow and pink painted buildings, crenellated turrets, and a medley of architectural styles; it was inspired by castles on the Rhine.

After some free time to explore as you wish in Sintra, meander through picturesque landscapes to the beach town of Cascais on the Portuguese Riviera; return to Lisbon for an afternoon spent as you please. Then join us this evening for a private dinner at 18th-century Palacio de Queluz as your 8-day journey throughout Portugal journey comes to a close. (B/L/D)

Tour ends: Lisbon. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa to Lisbon Airport. You should allow a minimum of 3½ hours for flight check-in. (B)
