  1. Day 1
    Arrival in Lisbon – Óbidos

    Upon arrival at Lisbon International Airport, meet your private chauffeur for a 1–1.5hr (90km) drive north to the beautifully preserved medieval town of Óbidos. After exploring its charming cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, check into the historic Pousada Castelo de Óbidos for a romantic stay within the castle walls. Take time to visit the nearby monasteries of Batalha and Alcobaça, or enjoy the coastal scenery in the fishing town of Nazaré. Overnight in Óbidos.

  2. Day 2
    Óbidos - Porto

    Travel 3–3.5hr (245km) north from Óbidos to Porto, the UNESCO-listed “Invicta” city on the Douro River. Spend your time exploring the romantic Ribeira district, visiting traditional Port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, or enjoying a scenic river cruise. Your stay also includes a recommended full-day chauffeur-guided excursion to the lush Minho region to visit the medieval castle of Guimarães, the monumental sanctuary in Braga, and the historic coastal charm of Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo. Overnight in Porto.

  3. Day 3

    Enjoy a full day of flexible, chauffeur-driven exploration through Porto’s UNESCO World Heritage center. Spend your time admiring the tiled façades of the Ribeira riverfront, crossing the Dom Luís I Bridge to tour a traditional Port wine cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia, or boarding a scenic Douro River cruise. With travel times under 45 minutes (up to 20km), you have the freedom to shop, sightsee, or simply relax at a riverside café while savoring the city’s celebrated local cuisine. Overnight in Porto.

  4. Day 4
    Minho Region Excursion

    Enjoy a full-day chauffeur-driven excursion into the lush Minho region, the historic birthplace of Portugal. Begin in the UNESCO-listed center of Guimarães to visit its medieval castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança before heading to Braga to see the monumental Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary. Continue to the picturesque riverside town of Ponte de Lima and conclude with sweeping coastal views from Santa Luzia Hill in Viana do Castelo. Return to Porto in the evening after approximately 2.5–4 hours of travel time throughout the day. Overnight in Porto.

    Depart Porto for a 2–2.5hr (130km) journey south to Coimbra, making scenic stops in the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro, to see its colorful boats and canals.
