Day 2 Lisbon
We're going to discover Portugal's capital, Lisbon, todays panoramic tour. The city is home to many historic attractions, and our guided tour begins as we make our way through the narrow medieval alleyways of the Alfama District, crowned by an ancient castle. We'll also admire the UNESCO-listed Belém Tower, which was the starting point of many sea voyages in the 16th century and is a symbol of Portugal's power during the Age of Discovery. Later we'll gather again back at hotel for dinner.
Meals included: B,DDay 3 New Year's Eve, Sintra & Cabo da Roca
Enjoy a hearty breakfast before we head off to the charming region of Sintra. Located at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by forest, it is dotted with villas and palaces which were the summer residences of the kings of Portugal. We'll also take in the dramatic sight of the Cabo da Roca lighthouse, if the weather allows. Sitting on a promontory jutting out into the Atlantic, this is the most westerly point in mainland Europe. We'll head back to the hotel in plenty of time to get ready for this evening's festivities, a special New Year's Eve dinner.
Meals included: B,DDay 4 New Year's Day, Óbidos
We'll enjoy a leisurely morning at the hotel, before we make our way to the picturesque walled town of Óbidos for an included tour. Little has changed here since medieval times, and on our stroll we'll discover a hilltop castle, a maze of cobbled streets and delightful red-roofed, whitewashed houses. Perhaps take a stroll along the ramparts that enclose the town's historic centre for wonderful views.
