Day by day
- Day 1 — Arrival in Lisbon, Welcome to Portugal
Upon arrival at Lisbon Airport, guests are welcomed by their private driver and transferred into the city for a calm first impression of Portugal's capital. The day is intentionally light: time to settle in, enjoy the Tagus riverside atmosphere, and ease into Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods. - Day 2 — Lisbon Highlights: Belém and Chiado
Immerse yourselves in the iconic charm of Lisbon today, beginning your exploration in Belém, where maritime history comes alive at the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower.

This afternoon offers a delightful blend of cultural discovery and the vibrant pulse of Lisbon's most beloved neighborhoods. - Day 3 — Sintra, Cabo da Roca & Cascais Coast
A full day across Sintra's lush, romantic hills and the wild Atlantic coast. We drive through the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, visit the iconic Pena Palace, wander Sintra's historic village, and continue to Cabo da Roca where Europe meets the Atlantic. The day closes along the coastal road via the old fisherman village of Cascais and Estoril, before returning to Lisbon for the night. - Day 4 — Private Transfer Lisbon to the Algarve via Alentejo
