Famous for its beautiful architecture, buzzing nightlife and dynamic food scene, Lisbon is an unmissable stop on your Portuguese itinerary. Set at the mouth of the Targus River and encircled by seven steep hills, Portugal’s elegant capital makes an appealing base for your Iberian adventures.
Wander Lisbon’s cobbled backstreets and tree-lined boulevards, admire the handsome cityscape of terracotta-roofed, pastel-painted buildings and explore the castles, cathedrals and monasteries of one of history’s most powerful merchant empires.
Discover varied landscapes and World Heritage Listed treasures just outside the city limits—a gorgeous coast lined with golden beaches, dramatic cliffs and world-class surf breaks, and a picturesque hinterland of fertile valleys and vineyards, traditional villages, historic cities and ancient ruins.
Leave Lisbon on foot and walk out through riverside villages and fertile floodplains to the beautiful historic town of Tomar, the Roman ruins of Conimbriga and the ancient university city of Coimbra, following the path taken by the body of Saint James along the famous pilgrim’s trail of the Portuguese Way (Caminho Portugués).
Cycle the Portuguese Way from Lisbon to Porto, or all the way to Santiago, or tackle the entire Portuguese Camino and be one of the lucky few to complete this iconic pilgrimage trail in full. Take a look at our unique range of walking and cycling holidays and start planning your Portuguese journey!
