1 Porto
Welcome to Portugal! Stretching along the banks of the River Douro, Porto is one of Portugal's most romantic cities. Known for majestic bridges, a medieval riverside district with its cobbled streets, merchants’ houses and cafes, Porto is also well known for one more thing; surprise surprise – Porto is the birthplace of the fortified wine, port. Today, there’s an important welcome meeting at 6 pm where you’ll meet your group leader and fellow travellers. After your meeting, why not get the crew together and head out to an optional dinner – your group leader will know of some great spots to go.
2 Porto
Take a leader-led orientation walk with your group this morning to get your bearings. One of the best ways to get to know Porto is through its port wine, so you’ll get a chance to test out Portugal’s famed wine on an included wine tasting. Otherwise, the day is free to do as you please. The city's World Heritage-listed Ribeira district is packed with twisting alleys, staircases and baroque churches, and is great to explore on foot. Perhaps check out Livraria Lello is a stunning neo-Gothic bookstore famed for its sweeping crimson staircase, ornate woodwork, and magical atmosphere that feels lifted from a storybook. For a sensational view of the whole town head to the Torre dos Clerigos (Clerigos Tower), or head down Allies Avenue to see the French-inspired buildings. Oh, and in the evening, why not book yourself on a Rio Duoro cruise on one of the historic 'rabelo' boats to see the city from the water.
3 Coimbra
Take a train to Coimbra this morning and head out on an orientation walk with your group to learn about the river-side city that was once the capital of the country. Wander through the lanes and square of the Old Quarter and be sure to pass by the University of Coimbra – the oldest in Portugal. The afternoon is free for you to enjoy as you please, maybe head back to the university and visit its library – but you’ll need to pre-book in advance! Tonight, meet up with your group again for a Fado show. Coimbra’s version of Fado is linked to the academic traditions of its university and the music is characterized by sombre tunes and lyrics.
