Experience Portugal at a relaxed pace. Tour Lisbon, Porto, and some of the typical towns and villages along the stunning north-west coastline.

Throughout this tour, you’ll visit all the must-see attractions. First, check out the 16th century Jeronimos Monastery, which is often regarded as Lisbon’s most important landmark.

In addition, you'll get a chance to tour the 700-year-old university library in Coimbra, the Arabian Hall and the Church of Sao Francisco in Porto, and the Ossuary Chapel in Evora.

All of this and much more await you on this wonderful Portuguese Escape!
