Portugal beyond Lisbon

A few castles.
A few coastlines.
A lot of Portugal.

Leave Lisbon for the day. We’ll take care of the road — our guides will take care of the stories.

Your day. Your Portugal.

Where shall we go today?

Palaces, beaches, castles or a whole new city — every trip is private and shaped around you.

8 hours

Arrábida & the Blue Coast

Turquoise bays, a hilltop castle and the vineyards of Setúbal. Start at Palmela Castle and the seaside town of Setúbal, take a taxi boat to the beach at Portinho da Arrábida — or a scenic drive through the natural park — and finish at a local winery before heading back to Lisbon.

9 hours

Fátima & the West Coast

Faith, the Atlantic and medieval walls in one unhurried day. Visit the Sanctuary of Fátima and the great monastery of Alcobaça or Batalha, see Nazaré above the ocean, then wander the cobbled lanes of walled Óbidos.

9 hours

Templar Knights Route

Castles, knights and centuries of mystery. Cross the Tagus to Almourol Castle on its river island, then follow the Templars to Tomar and the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage site — with a medieval-style lunch at Taberna Antiga along the way.

9 hours

Lisbon to Porto

The road to Porto, with the best of Portugal on the way. Step inside the walls of Óbidos, see Nazaré, home of the world’s largest waves, and taste ovos moles by the canals of Aveiro — arriving in Porto at the end of the day.

One way: the trip ends in Porto.
