Today, we dive into the heart and soul of Lisbon through its incredible food, wine, and scenery. We begin with a guided walking food and wine tour through some of the city’s most charming neighborhoods, where we’ll sample a variety of traditional Portuguese bites and sip local wines along the way. As we stroll through historic streets and lively squares, we’ll not only taste Lisbon, but also learn the stories behind its cuisine, culture, and daily life.

From fresh seafood and classic pastries to regional specialties and perfectly paired wines, this experience is designed to be both delicious and immersive. We’ll take our time, enjoy the atmosphere, and soak in the authentic rhythm of the city.

In the late afternoon, we shift gears for a truly magical finale: a sunset sail on the Tagus River. We’ll board our boat and watch Lisbon’s iconic skyline glow in golden light as the sun sets over the water. With the breeze in our hair and a drink in hand, we’ll enjoy unforgettable views of landmarks like the Belém Tower and the 25 de Abril Bridge from a completely different perspective.

It’s a perfect day of flavors, culture, and unforgettable views—one that beautifully captures the essence of Lisbon.

After a relaxing breakfast at the hotel, we’ll head out to explore one of Lisbon’s most iconic and historic districts—Belém. Known as the launching point for Portugal’s Age of Discovery, this charming riverside neighborhood is rich in culture and beauty.

We’ll visit the stunning Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site with intricate architecture and deep ties to Portugal’s seafaring past. Along the way, we’ll stroll past the Monument to the Discoveries and admire the Belém Tower, a symbol of the city’s maritime legacy.

Today we journey just outside Lisbon to the enchanting town of Sintra, a place so magical it feels pulled from the pages of a fairy tale. Once a summer retreat for Portuguese royalty and nobility, Sintra is nestled in lush, forested hills and is filled with romantic palaces, mysterious gardens, and centuries of rich history.

Our day begins with a visit to the Palácio Nacional da Pena (Pena Palace)—a colorful and whimsical 19th-century palace perched high above the town. With its vivid facades, eclectic architecture, and sweeping views over the Sintra mountains, it's no wonder Pena is one of Portugal’s most beloved landmarks.

We'll also explore the historic town center, where cobbled streets wind past charming shops and local cafés. There will be time to admire the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, recognizable by its twin chimneys and rich blend of Moorish and Manueline styles.

Throughout the day, you’ll learn about Sintra’s role in Portuguese history and why this UNESCO World Heritage site has inspired poets, artists, and royals for centuries.

In the late afternoon, we’ll return to Lisbon with hearts (and cameras) full of wonder.

Today is all about exploring Lisbon at your own pace. With your included Lisbon City Pass, you’ll have access to a variety of museums, monuments, and unlimited rides on the city’s public transportation—including the iconic yellow trams.

Whether you choose to browse local markets, ride Tram 28 through the winding streets of Alfama, visit the National Tile Museum, or discover a hidden miradouro (viewpoint), the city is yours to enjoy however you wish.

This evening, we’ll gather one last time to celebrate our time in Lisbon with a group dinner featuring live Fado music. Set in a traditional restaurant, you’ll savor classic 

Portuguese dishes while listening to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of Fado—Lisbon’s soulful music that captures the heart of the city. It’s the perfect way to say até logo (see you later) to Lisbon as we prepare for the next chapter of our journey.
