Spend the day at your leisure, enjoying the cosmopolitan city often referred to as the ‘City of Seven Hills’.

Day 4 - Lisbon - Coimbra - Porto

Travel through the beautiful countryside to Porto, stopping en route to explore Coimbra, the birthplace of six Portuguese kings. The city is also home to the University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities in Europe, with a splendid 18th century library - the Joanina Library. From here, head to a local restaurant for a traditional Portuguese lunch, and continue on to Porto to embark Queen Isabel (5T) or S.S. São Gabriel (5T), the most luxurious vessel on the Douro.

Day 5 - Porto - Cruising the River Douro - Entre-os-Rios

There’s much more to Portugal’s second city than its eponymous fortified wine - historic architecture, cutting-edge design, fabulous food and wine, and a hip, laid-back vibe. Discover its many charms with your choice of distinctively different tours today. Later, we cruise up the Douro towards Entre-os-Rios.

Day 6 - Cruising the River Douro - Régua - Pinhão

Today is all about wine, which has been cultivated in the Douro River Valley since ancient Roman times. Learn the history of Port during your visit to the Douro Museum, then treat yourself to a tasting and a hearty, rustic-style dinner at a family owned wine estate.

Day 9 - Barca d’Alva - Régua

A tiny village surrounded by mountains, Barca d’Alva is your base for today's adventures. Visit Castelo Rodrigo, singled out as one of Portugal’s 12 historic villages for its medieval beauty. The view from the top is incredible and the village is a charming place to ramble, relax and replenish. Or, if you wish, you can view some prehistoric carvings during a visit to Portugal’s first archaeological park, Foz Côa. Please note: Exploring these sites will require considerable physical fitness.
