LISBON

Welcome to your tour with Europamundo! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and you’ll have some free time. In the afternoon, you’ll find information about the start of your tour on the boards located at the hotel reception.

LISBON

In the morning, we´ll embark on a sightseeing tour of Lisbon, exploring the Portuguese capital of the seven hills, with its charming alleys, iconic tiles, the feeling of "saudade," and the beautiful Atlantic light. We’ll also visit the Belem neighborhood, from where the great Portuguese navigators set sail to cross the oceans in the 15th century. Free time in the afternoon to walk and go to the Bairro Alto and its viewpoint; if you’d like to, you could take an optional trip to the towns of Sintra, Cascais and Estoril. In the evening, we’ll return to the hotel from the lively Restauradores Square, filled with vibrant bars and cafes.

LISBON / LAGOS / CAPE ST. VINCENT / ALBUFEIRA

We’ll depart early for southern Portugal, enjoying beautiful landscapes as we cross the long bridge over the Tagus River. Upon arrival in the Algarve, the southern region of Portugal, we´ll explore the historic city of Lagos, known for its port from where Portuguese ships once sailed to Brazil, and its charming historic center enclosed within ancient walls. There will be time for lunch. In the afternoon, we´ll travel to the westernmost point of continental Europe amidst windswept cliffs to discover Cape St. Vincent. Nearby, we´ll have the opportunity to photograph the historic Sagres fortress. Later, we´ll spend time in Albufeira, a stunning coastal city where you can relax on its beaches or wander through its lively historic center. Accommodation will be provided in Albufeira or a neighboring city in the Algarve.

ALBUFEIRA / MéRTOLA / ÉVORA / LISBON

We’ll travel to Faro, the peaceful capital of the Algarve, for a leisurely stroll. From there, we’ll continue our journey into the Alentejo region. On the banks of the Guadiana River, we’ll visit Mértola, a walled town-museum that was an important center during the Muslim era. This town, with its impressive castle, invites us to wander through the streets lined with whitewashed houses and historical corners. Next, we’ll stop in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city, where you’ll have time to explore its medieval palaces, Gothic religious buildings, and ancient Roman temple. We´ll visit the Chapel of Bones, built with over 5,000 skeletons (admission included). We’ll then continue to Lisbon, arriving at the end of the day.

After breakfast, our journey will come to an end, leaving you with wonderful lasting memories.
