Portuguese Panorama

9 or 11 days

Lisbon, Obidos, Coimbra & Porto, with extension to Algarve Coast | LSO

Wind your way along the Atlantic coast, experiencing the cosmopolitan flair of Porto and Lisbon alongside the rustic charm of rural Portugal. Marvel at Baroque-style libraries in the ancient capital of Coimbra and venture to the rugged seaside cliffs, which Portuguese explorers once considered the end of the world. Traversing through city streets and sandy beaches, mountain trails and woodland paths, see for yourself how culture and nature's beauty interweave in these twin tourism hotspots.
