Itinerary

Portugal: Lisbon, Alentejo & Comporta 8 days

8 days

Portugal

Portugal unfolds through a 8 day journey from Lisbon’s historic streets into the quieter landscapes of the Alentejo and the Atlantic coast of Comporta. Begin in the capital, exploring its neighbourhoods and viewpoints before heading to Sintra, where palaces and wooded hills offer a change of pace. In the Alentejo, ancient olive groves, megalithic sites and the historic city of Évora provide a glimpse into the region’s long history, with time to enjoy its slower rhythms through cycling, local crafts and time on the water. Finish in Comporta, where rice fields, dunes and beaches set the scene for days shaped by Portuguese food, coastal exploration and time outdoors.
