21-24 February 2025

An excellent itinerary to visit two pearls: Lisbon and Sintra, among a thousand colours, fado, sweets and excellent liqueurs!
If Lisbon is among the most beautiful capitals of Europe there will be a reason!

We will stay in a central hotel, close to the main metros.
We will walk through the beautiful streets of Lisbon and take two tours accompanied by Elisa, a guide passionate tourist and in love with this city... listening to her tell her story will enchant you!
Obviously on a visit to Lisbon, nearby Sintra cannot be missed! A picturesque day that cannot be missed, which will take us among the bright colors and mysteries of its buildings.

We will taste the typical local cuisine, the delicious Pasteis de nata, we will listen to Fado, the musical expression of soul of Lisbon, we will drink Ginjinha... we will spend four full days, walking around the city, culture, good food and city life. All with the usual NO STRESS formula: you only have to think about packing your backpack, I'll take care of everything else... check in for flights, purchase tickets, make restaurant reservations for dinners, organize the most characteristic routes... What are you waiting for to book?

Physical commitment:
The trip is created to have a fast but sustainable pace. You will walk like a normal visit to a European capital and you will see many things, which will repay all the efforts of a traveler. There will be no shortage of moments of celebration and relaxation in the evening in company.

DAY 1
Departure from Rome Fiumicino with the 10.45am flight, we will arrive at Lisbon airport at 12pm: 55 (local time).
Transfer to the city and accommodation in our hotel, located in an excellent position and close to the main metro.

After lunch we will take a tour of the main streets and monuments of the center with our tour guide Elisa. We will get to know its richest, most elegant and fascinating part together: the Baixa, the Carmo, the Bairro Alto and the Chiado district. Each neighborhood has contributed (and still contributes) to creating wonderful ancient stories of poets, fadists... but also pavement workers! We will walk through many streets, squares and miradouros and we will understand that at every corner, their compelling stories will make them unique and special. Yes, because this is precisely the peculiarity of Lisbon: showing you a new color in every corner. We will see Rossio square, we will visit the inside of the Carmo Convent, we will take the Elevador da Glòria funicular, we will continue to the Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara , Camoes Square, Largo do Chiado, Elevador de Santa Justa, Rua Augusta, Augusta Arch and Commerce Square.

For in the evening we will all have dinner together in a typical restaurant.

DAY 2
After breakfast we will spend the morning to conclude the tour with Elisa: with her passion she will introduce us to the most hidden and less touristy corners of Alfama. We will feel catapulted into another dimension, into an ancient world where the narrow streets, the smell of laundry and smiles are its protagonists. Together we will discover the history of this neighborhood, and why it makes it so special. We will walk through a labyrinth of streets and meet some of the true souls of this place: the people who still live in Alfama and who with their history make it a truly unique place in the world.

We will have lunch and then we we will head towards the Belem area, with its control tower.
Not far away we will see the immense Jeronimos Monastery. The external architecture will leave us speechless showing us a large quantity of statues sculpted in detail, and the inside is equally astonishing. The cloister and the majestic cathedral inside make it, rightly, the main attraction of Lisbon!

We will probably be hungry after the first part of the day, and fortunately near the Tower there are the most Pasteis good from Portugal! Mandatory stop! We will return to the center to have dinner together.

DAY 3
We dedicate this day to a jewel that cannot be missed: Sintra! Immersed in the heart of a green National Park, this part is home to some of the most interesting sites in all of Portugal.
We will travel comfortably by train which will take us to Sintra in 40 minutes.

Who has never dreamed of seeing the colorful Palacio da Pena? But we obviously use the day to do much more! We will see the inside of the mysterious Quinta de Regaleira, we will go to the Castelo dos Mouros, the Palacio Nacional... in short, whatever palace you want, it is there!

Surely after this walk in the hills your stomach and palate will ask for a reward , then we return to the city to have dinner together and spend an unforgettable evening in a typical Portuguese Tasca where they play live Fado!
Pedro will pamper us with his excellent cuisine and we will feel like true Portuguese.

DAY 4
After breakfast we will take the most famous means of transport in Lisbon, tram 28, which climbs up and winds through the most characteristic streets of the city . Its route starts from Campo de Ourique and passes through the most picturesque neighborhoods of Lisbon until arriving at Praça Martim Moniz. We will enjoy the view on board this historic tram.

We will climb the Augusta Arch to enjoy the spectacular view from above and then we will visit the oldest bookshop in the world! Winner of the Guinness World Record.

The rest of the afternoon will be free for one last tour and any souvenirs, we will have an aperitif all together and then we will head to the airport by public transport to catch the flight at 8.50pm which will take us to Rome Fiumicino at 00.55am (local time).
We will say goodbye with the usual hugs ready to see each other again next time adventure.
