Itinerary
Nights 1 & 2 - Lisbon
Begin with two nights of cultural immersion in Lisbon. Transfer to the hotel of your choice - Superior or Premier - where you will settle in to explore Europe's second oldest capital city. Sightseeing is a snap with a 48-hour “Lisboa Card,” which provides free local transport and admission to the city’s best museums. Monuments, museums, restaurants, historic neighborhoods and expansive parks await your arrival.
Nights 3 & 4 - Algarve
Board the first-class car on a train south at the Gare do Oriente station. After a 2.5 hour trip to Loule station in the Algarve, you will transfer to your hotel on the beaches of Vilamoura. Pick a chaise in the sun and get ready for five days of intense unwinding.
You will be staying in magnificent Vilamoura for 2 nights including daily breakfast. Enjoy the colors of mountains and sea, creating the impression of water-color dotted with highlights of gold, green and blue.
Time for the Algarve Historical Tour. You'll see remains of Moorish and Roman influence in Silves castle and cathedral. Climb the Monchique Hills to Foia, the highest point of the Algarve. Enjoy free time for wine tasting and taking spectacular photos. Visit Saint Anthony's golden church, fort and old town. Stop at Cape Saint Vincent, the most southwesterly point of Europe, known locally as "the End of the World". Stroll through Baleeira, a beautiful fishing harbor, and drive by the Fortaleza, home of Prince Henry's School of Navigation.
Then walk, eat, drink and dance on the sand in the Algarve’s legendary sunshine – and moonlight - before boarding the first class train back to a final night in Lisbon.
Nights 5 & 6 - Cascais
Change into your flip-flops and board a train for the world famous seaside village of Cascais, one of 2016’s hottest destinations. Spend two nights and two sunny days enjoying the sights and beauty of the Estoril Coast. Consider a trip to the hillside village Sintra and its famous palace or contact us for more day tour ideas.
