Set off to discover the city and start savoring the flavors and aromas! The first thing to do in Lisbon is to discover the different neighbourhoods, each with its own soul: the historic Chiado, the elegant Baixa, the very traditional Alfama, Belém and the maritime conquests... Explore them on foot, getting lost in the alleys and alleys, it is the most fun way, but if you want to better understand its history and culture or if you have little time available, a guided tour is the best choice. During your holiday in Lisbon, remember to delight not only your eyes, but also your palate. Taste the local delicacies, the famous pasteis de Nata. From the Baixa which leads to Praça do Comércio (ancient port for ships arriving in Lisbon) we will climb higher and higher, up to Alfama and the Castle of São Jorge. Near Praça do Comercio, don't miss the Mercado da Ribeira, an ancient local market that has now been completely renovated and full of restaurants.

Today you will travel to Sintra, where you will visit the three Portuguese castles: Castelo dos Mouros, Palácio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira with its gardens and underground caves. They are located on Monte da Luna and are truly magical places. For lunch you can stop in the center at the Tasca do Xico restaurant, or in the São Pedro area in the typical restaurant street. Unfortunately, one day is not enough to see all the wonders of Sintra and we continue the journey towards the westernmost point of Europe, the Cabo da Roca, before returning to the hotel in Lisbon.

You will start the day with a breakfast at the hotel before heading to Coimbra. It is worth visiting the ancient university founded in the 13th century and climbing the tower to admire a spectacular panoramic view of the city. Coimbra is known as the "city of students" because of its university, the oldest in Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe. Besides the university, the lower part of the city is worth exploring, with its historic shops and cafes. The cathedral, Sé Velha, is where students passionately sing Fado de Coimbra during the monumental serenade. At the Museu Nacional Machado de Castro and the various gardens, such as the Choupal and the Quinta das Lágrimas, you can immerse yourself in the history and beauty of the city. Children will definitely enjoy the Portugal dos Pequenitos miniature park. For a different perspective of Coimbra, you can take a boat trip on the Mondego River.
