From Porto to the Algarve Route

Connect with Portugal on our most complete tour, travelling the country from north to south and enjoying all things Portuguese

Welcome to our most complete tour of Portugal: days of fun and relaxation for you to explore this country as it deserves. The "Porto to the Algarve" tour is designed for you to switch off from the daily grind and delve deep into the culture and cuisine of Portugal. Here you won't find never-ending journeys from A to B, so turn up the radio, put on your seatbelt and discover the country's great towns and cities. Porto and Lisbon couldn't go amiss on this packed itinerary. In Porto, you'll see incredible views from atop the Torre dos Clérigos, you'll experience quirky tram rides and, of course, you'll get to taste excellent Portuguese wines at one of its ancient wineries. In the capital Lisbon, the main symbol is another tower, the Torre de Belém, which together with the Jerónimos Monastery and the steeply-sloped streets will be etched on your memory forever. And don't forget its cuisine. Both in the metropolis and the smaller towns you'll discover a unique universe full of textures, colours and flavours. You simply can't go back home without trying the delicious cod dishes, a bowl of feijoadas (stew of beans with beef and pork) or some of the famous cream or custard tarts. Apart from the two big cities, on this tour you'll have time to lie on the heavenly beaches of the Algarve and visit the lively and youthful Coimbra, known as the "Oxford of Portugal". Thanks to the rental car, you can enjoy a flexible and bespoke trip stopping of at unforgettable places such as Castelo Branco, Fátima, Nazaré or Évora. Come and tour the most authentic Portugal!

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
