Porto has also been a center of trade and commerce for centuries, and has been transformed into a modern and traditional city in the same timeframe. Porto is home to a variety of interesting neighborhoods, including Ribeira, which is known for its narrow alleyways and picturesque population. One of the city's most popular attractions is its Port Wine Cellars.

It is known as the "Oporto of 'Belle Epoque'" because it is frequented by many writers and artists.

Then we will go to the historical center of the city to see examples of Romanesque architecture and middle age buildings. Near the Saint Goncalo bridge, we will see some of the most touristy points in Amarante.

Day 3. Aveiro, Nazaré & Obidos

Tour Duration: 8 Hours /  Start Location: Porto / 

Aveiro

Aveiro is a town in Portugal that was founded around its port. The town is named after the birds that lived there, and it used to be known as Aviarium.

The town of Newfoundland was located on a coastline that was good for fishing. This was an important activity from the beginning, and the cod fishing grounds near Newfoundland were discovered by João Afonso, a son of Aveiro.

The salt pans formed, and people started making salt. The salt industry still exists, but not as much as it used to. Another industry is based around the lagoon. People harvest seaweed, and it is used as a natural fertilizer.

Village of fishermen in Nazare

As we continue our day of enjoyment on our Tour Fatima Batalha Nazare and Obidos, we will arrive in the fishing village of Nazare, which is the most charismatic fishing community in Portugal. Here, we can see the fish being dried on every beach in the sun as well as the renowned ladies of the seven skirts, the fishermen's wives who proudly wear seven skirts at once, a distinctive tradition of this area.

The greatest waves in the world can be found in Nazare, Portugal, owing to the Nazare Canyon phenomenon. In 2013, American surfer McNamara set the world record when surfing a wave that was nearly 30 meters high, and throughout the year, we may view these incredible waves for ourselves.

Medieval Village of Obidos

When we arrive at Obidos (a UNESCO World Heritage site), we will take a journey through time to the medieval era and tour the lovely, winding alleyways that are whitewashed.

The important aqueduct and its sources were ordered to be built by Queen Catarina, who also financed most of the Portuguese queens in Portugal by receiving Obidos taxes and leaving great benefits there. Obidos was once a part of the defensive pentagon of the Five Castles, which was built by the Templars and later used as a wedding gift by Portuguese King Dinis I to his wife Queen Isabel.

Here, we'll learn how Obidos "ginja," one of the most well-known and beloved Portuguese liqueurs, is made.

Day 4. Lisbon City

Alfama,  

Day 5. Tour Sintra Cascais and Estoril

Tour Duration: 8 Hours /  Start Location: Lisbon / Included tickets to Pena Palace.

Sintra Village Center

It's time to experience Sintra's historic center with its winding streets and quaint lanes. Numerous Portuguese gift shops may be found in the Sintra old district, as well as the Piriquita bakery, home of the world-famous "Travesseiros," a traditional Sintra pastry.

Here we will find more than 10 national monuments, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins, and decorative luxurious homes dispersed by the different hills of the region in very difficult pedestrian paths. Sintra is a place with a great concentration of historical monuments and interesting tourist attractions.

Sintra Palaces

Your Driver will help you choose which palace to visit from Pena Palace, Monserrate Palace, the Masonic Quinta da Regaleira or if you're interested in something more medieval, perhaps the Moorish Castle. However, since this tour lasts about 8 hours, we recommend visiting no more than two palaces because doing so may interfere with seeing the other locations mentioned here.

Cabo da Roca

Then, our Sintra Tour The most significant Portuguese poet of all time, Luis de Camoes, described Cabo da Roca as "where Earth ends and the Sea begins" in "Os Lusiadas" , the westernmost point of the European continent. Cascais and Estoril will take us through the stunning Sintra mountain range to Cascais by Colares, a must stop.

From the majestic Lighthouse, which was constructed in 1772 and stands 165 meters tall, we can see how significant the Atlantic Ocean is and learn about one of Portugal's most famous locations during the height of the country's maritime growth.

Boca do Inferno

A visit to "Boca do Inferno" is a must so that we can fully appreciate the beauty of the location. As a result of the erosion caused by the powerful action of the rain that contains dissolved carbon dioxide, cavities and caves are created inside of the limestone. When the upper layers of the cave collapsed, a large cavity was left behind.

A very beautiful location, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and possibly one of the best sunsets, is only overshadowed by infrequent suicides committed on its perilous and unprotected cliff on days when the sea is agitated. You can see the waves crashing inside the rocks in a cave that combines its natural beauty with the rough sea.

Cascais

Then, on our Tour Sintra Cascais and Estoril, we will arrive in Cascais. With its stunning bay, it is currently a very nice area to live or even for brief holidays. It is full of tiny fishing boats, and we will have time to explore the hamlet.

The Portuguese royal family picked Cascais, which is close to the Sintra mountain range, as their vacation destination in the nineteenth century, ultimately drawing in the nobility. In the city's historic core, there are several shopping and dining options.

Estoril

Estoril, the site of WWII espionage, where Yan Fleming resided, the renowned author of the books that gave rise to 007, where one may be dazzled by the vast estates as well as the Casino of Estoril (considered the largest in Europe).
