Portugal in a Week: Lisbon, Porto & the Algarve
See Portugal’s cities, coast and wine regions with well planned multi-day trips
Portugal is an excellent fit for 7-10 day trips, giving you enough time to balance city life, Atlantic coast scenery, and inland towns without feeling as though you are racing from place to place. You can choose between guided bus tours and self-drive routes, and many itineraries either use one base with day trips or keep travel days straightforward, so the logistics stay manageable. Lisbon often plays a central role, with riverside viewpoints, historic neighbourhoods, and a lively food and music scene, while the north adds Porto and, in many cases, the vineyard landscapes of the Douro Valley. Across the country, these trips frequently blend major UNESCO sites with quieter, more characterful stops, from medieval lanes to panoramic winery terraces, with time set aside to slow down by the sea, particularly in the Algarve.

We loved the tour agenda and enjoyed Madrid and Barcelona. The days in Madrid and Barcelona could have been longer. Transportation was great and comfortable although not all buses has charging outlets. The agenda should be communicated at least a month before as to book excursion that I are not offered by the tour. Some of the tour guides were better than others. Communication is not as strong when you arrived and plan for the day.
