With its bold yet functional architecture, you'll also see the remarkable work of Santiago Calatrava, the same architect who designed the Museum of Tomorrow in Brazil.<br \/>Next, we explore <strong>Alfama<\/strong>, the oldest part of Lisbon with narrow streets and alleys. This former Arab Medina was transformed into the Mouraria neighborhood after the Christian reconquest in the 12th century. Alfama is the birthplace of <strong>Fado<\/strong>, Portugal\u2019s most iconic and melancholic music, reflecting the deep-rooted emotion known as \"saudade.\"<br \/>Afterwards, we head to <strong>S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/strong>, one of the few remaining physical vestiges of the Arab civilization in Portugal.

We\u2019ll begin with the Queluz Palace (optional visit), where the Portuguese Royal Family was residing during the French invasion, which \"forced\" them to move the capital to Brazil. Interestingly, it was here that Dom Pedro IV of Portugal, who was simultaneously Dom Pedro I of Brazil, was born and died. The palace\u2019s rococo style stands out, particularly in its asymmetrical gardens, cleverly disguised by a sequence of terraces and Tuscan-columned galleries, topped with a monumental staircase. The strong decoration, with statuary clearly inspired by classical and allegorical mythology, connects the geometric beauty of the boxwood hedges and colorful tiles with the stone and bronze of its many statues.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll enjoy the center of Sintra, with its alleys and streets filled with numerous Portuguese craft shops, as well as the famous Travesseiros de Sintra at Pastelaria Piriquita. You\u2019ll have free time to enjoy this wonderful location.<br \/>Sintra is a place with a high concentration of historical monuments and very interesting tourist attractions. Here, we will find more than 10 national monuments, including opulent palaces, ancient ruins, and decorative manor houses scattered across the region\u2019s different hills. These are often reached through quite challenging pedestrian paths.<\/p>\n<p>Your guide will help you decide which palace to visit (we suggest a maximum of two), choosing from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National Palace of Sintra<\/li>\n<li>Pena Palace<\/li>\n<li>Quinta da Regaleira<\/li>\n<li>Monserrate Palace<\/li>\n<li>Moorish Castle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We continue through the always beautiful Sintra Mountains towards Cascais, passing through Colares, where we will make a mandatory stop at Cabo da Roca (the westernmost point of mainland Europe). \u201cWhere the land ends and the sea begins,\u201d as Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es wrote in <em>Os Lus\u00edadas<\/em> (Canto VIII). The imposing lighthouse, standing at 165 meters high and built in 1772, and the \"power\" of the Atlantic Ocean reveal one of Portugal's most emblematic places, a site of great importance during the Maritime Expansion period.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at the village of Cascais, with its beautiful bay, now a very pleasant place to live or spend a vacation, you\u2019ll see small fishing boats scattered around. You'll have free time to explore this small village, so famous that it attracts thousands of visitors every year.<br \/>Between Cascais Bay and the Sintra Mountains, Cascais became the vacation spot for the Portuguese royal family in the 19th century, drawing the entire nobility with them. In Largo de Cam\u00f5es, the historical center, you\u2019ll find many shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Estoril, a hub of espionage during World War II, was home to Ian Fleming, the famous author of the James Bond novels.

Here, we will pay homage to Our Lady at the Cova da Iria by visiting the two basilicas: Our Lady of the Rosary and the Holy Trinity, and, of course, the oldest, the Chapel of the Apparitions.<br \/>The Chapel of the Apparitions, the first chapel built shortly after the apparitions of Our Lady, is located in the center of the Sanctuary. It is a must-visit, not for its grandeur but for its significance. A visit here is essential.<br \/>At one end is the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, built in 1928 with a neo-Baroque architecture. Here, you will find the tombs of the three shepherd children (Francisco and Jacinta), and now also the tomb of Sister L\u00facia, who passed away in 2005. At the other end stands the imposing Basilica of the Holy Trinity, built in 2007 with over 8,000 seats and 40,000 m\u00b2 of space, designed by Greek architect Alexandros Tombazis.<\/p>\n<p>In Coimbra, we will visit the University Palace, where the Joanine Library holds a place of great prominence within the University. The construction of the Joanine Library began in 1717, above the old Royal Palace prison, to house the Coimbra University Library, and it was completed in 1728. Its ceiling and frescoes were painted by the distinguished Master Ant\u00f3nio Ribeiro and Vicente Nunes, while the portrait of King Jo\u00e3o V at the end of the room was done by Italian artist Domenico Dupra.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT<\/strong> \u2013 If visiting the interior of the University is essential for you during your trip to Coimbra, please inform us when booking your 5-day Portugal itinerary so we can reserve the tickets (not included in the tour price), as visits to the Joanine Library are numbered, and without a reservation, it will be nearly impossible to visit at the time. Once reserved, the fee (11.5\u20ac\/person) will be charged at the end of the tour, even if the visit is not made due to the client's cancellation or delay.<\/p>\n<p>After appreciating the library, we will continue exploring the University of Coimbra and visit other interesting places such as the Chapel of S\u00e3o Miguel, the \u201cGreat Hall of Acts,\u201d the \"Goat\" Tower, and others. Despite being built as part of the royal reform of university studies (influenced by the spread of Enlightenment ideas in Portugal), the Joanine Library is recognized as one of the most original and spectacular baroque libraries in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Still in Coimbra, we will visit the Lower Town, or Coimbra's Historical Center, the central area of the city. The distinction between \"Upper Town,\" where the nobility, clergy, and later the students lived, and the \"Lower Town,\" dominated by commerce, craftsmanship, and riverside neighborhoods, defines the city.<br \/>This region is a perfect place to relax and get lost in the charming streets, narrow alleys, beautiful squares, and countless caf\u00e9s, pastry shops, and restaurants. The Lower Town of Coimbra is rich in culture and unforgettable gastronomy, and this area has been the city's commercial center for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, maintaining its authentic atmosphere and unique personality.<br \/>A suggested visit would include the 12th-century Romanesque-style Cathedral, the Almedina Arch, and the Church of Santa Cruz, where the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques (Afonso I), is buried.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tours.com.pt\/en\/hotel-suggestions-in-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>\ud83d\udecc - Overnight in Porto<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>"},{"title":"Day 4: Porto","content":"<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15831 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/tours.com.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/baixa-do-porto-vista-panoramica-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the fourth day of our 5-day Portugal itinerary, we visit the fantastic city of Porto, the second-largest city in Portugal.
