8 days traveling in Portugal - Porto, Coimbra, Lisbon

About

This eight-day tour runs the western spine of Portugal—Porto to Lisbon with a Coimbra stop in between. It's built for people who want the logic handled: hotels, transport, and a local guide who knows which viewpoints matter and which restaurants don't take cards. With eleven days of reviews on Viator, all five stars, it's not a huge sample, but the routing itself is sound—Porto's ribeira and port lodges, Coimbra's university library, then Lisbon's hills and coastline. The price sits around $3,600 per person, which includes lodging and most meals but not flights. You're looking at roughly 190 hours total, so figure full days with built-in flexibility rather than dawn-to-dusk marching. The itinerary leans cultural—no surf lessons or hiking—so if you want beach time or Douro Valley vineyards, you'll need to tack those on separately. It's a decent framework if you'd rather not reverse-engineer train schedules and Airbnb handoffs yourself.
