Discovering the Soul of Portugal
Savor the soul of Portugal—from Porto’s vivid streets to the Algarve’s serene coast—in a curated 9-night blend of culture, flavor, and beauty.
Unfold the layers of Portugal’s soul over 9 nights, exploring the northern charm of Porto, the timeless elegance of Lisbon, and the golden serenity of the Algarve. Stroll through UNESCO-listed quarters, sip Port wines by the Douro River, sail along dramatic Atlantic coastlines, and indulge in the soulful rhythms of Fado. Every detail is crafted for those who seek authentic culture wrapped in refined comfort.
Delve into the city’s culture with a half-day private tour through the neighborhoods of Boavista and Foz, home to architectural treasures and the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art. Explore Porto’s UNESCO-listed old town, visit the Gothic Church of São Francisco, and learn how Port wine shaped the city’s global legacy.
Venture into the breathtaking Douro Valley for an exclusive full-day experience. Begin with a private wine tasting at a prestigious estate like Quinta do Bomfim. Enjoy lunch at a riverfront restaurant before cruising along the Douro on a private eco-yacht, soaking in views of terraced vineyards and sun-dappled hills.
Arrive in the capital and settle into your refined city-center hotel. Explore Alfama’s winding alleys, walk the riverfront promenade, and sample pastéis de nata in Belém. On your first full day, embark on a Walking Foodie Tour, where each step is paired with Portuguese bites and stories—from Bairro Alto’s vibrant streets to Rossio’s storied cafés and taverns.
In the evening, enjoy an intimate Fado performance in a traditional candlelit venue. This hauntingly beautiful music, accompanied by soulful vocals and acoustic guitars, brings the heart of Portugal alive.
Next, take a full-day excursion to Sintra, Estoril, and Cascais. Wander through fairytale palaces, seaside promenades, and colorful gardens. End the day along the scenic Marginal Road, where white-sand beaches and historic fortresses greet your return to Lisbon.
Arrive at your beachside resort in Quinta do Lago, where relaxation meets sophistication. Spend your days at leisure—sunbathe by the pool, hike scenic coastal trails, or play a round of golf with ocean views. Optional experiences include private catamaran cruises, wine tastings, or a guided exploration of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.After a final seaside breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the airport, marking the end of a memorable escape. Whether sipping wine by the Douro or watching the sun dip beneath the Atlantic in the Algarve, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to Portugal’s vibrant soul.
