Portugal, 8 Days · Tailor-made by car

The Algarve Route and the Lisbon Coast

Soak up the essence of Portugal on a trip brimming with unforgettable sensations and picture-postcard beaches

Portugal has so much to offer the visitor eager for new experiences. From the capital of Lisbon, with its Torre de Belém and its Jerónimos Monastery, to the stunning towns and coastal resorts dotted throughout this fascinating road trip. One of these unique places is Albufeira, a fishing village with beaches lapped by an intense turquoise sea. A jaw-dropping natural beauty, just like Tavira and its island, which can only be reached by boat. You'll also enjoy nature in privileged eco-environments such as the Sudoeste Alentejano Nature Park, where hundreds of species live in freedom to the delight of visitors. And you'll want to stay and live in Portimão forever, thanks to its fantastically laid-back atmosphere. A tranquillity that also reigns supreme in Sines, where you can learn about the life and figure of Vasco da Gama. The trip will also take you to magical places such as Porto Covo, a former fishing village that has undergone some development in recent years and now draws in tourists from all over Europe thanks to its peaceful atmosphere and excellent cuisine. The truth is that the food is amazing everywhere you go in Portugal. The coastal area is famous for its seafood and fresh fish, such as swordfish, cod or octopus. The country is also a leading wine producer. During this jam-packed road trip, you'll get the chance to savour the local wines wherever you go. The final jewel in the crown of the tour is Cascais, an oasis of luxury and fun. You'll be surprised by its pocket-sized palaces and you'll love strolling around its harbour and admiring the views from its majestic cliffs.

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.

- Suggested ferry trips are optional and not included in the final price. If you intend to take the car on a ferry, please let the rental company know at the time of pick-up to receive authorisation. Depending on the terms and conditions in the rental contract and the company you choose, you might be charged a fee payable at the destination.
