Istanbul to Lisbon
Meeting with your guide at Istanbul Airport International Terminal. After baggage and passport procedures, departure to Lisbon on Turkish Airlines flight. Upon arrival in Lisbon, we begin our city tour, which encompasses many historical and cultural riches, with our vehicle waiting for us. During our city tour, important places we will see include Jeronimos Monastery, Belem Tower, Monument to the Discoveries, Rossio & Praca Do Commercio Squares, Av.

LISBON-PORTO
After breakfast, we depart for Porto. An additional Obidos & Nazare & Fatima tour will be organized along the route (50 Euro). We visit the city of Obidos, a medieval heritage site that has preserved its historical texture and whose 12th-century walls are still standing. Then we head toward the ocean coast and arrive at Nazare, a fishing town famous for its sandy beach. It is impossible not to be impressed by the cliffs of Nazare, where the famous explorer Vasco da Gama came to pray before embarking on long sea voyages. After Nazare, we continue on to Fatima. This place, where the Virgin Mary appeared to three young shepherds in 1917 and gave them three secrets, is regarded as one of the greatest pilgrimage and worship centers of Christianity. After our tour, we proceed to Porto. Upon arrival, the panoramic Porto city tour will include the Riberia district overlooking the Douro River, historic buildings, the Bolsa Palace, the Cathedral (Porto Cathedral), the House of the Prince, São Francisco Church, São Bento train station, the Ponte D. Luís I Bridge, and the Douro River among the sights to be seen. Guests who wish may join the Porto Boat Tour, which will be organized as an extra by our guide (45 Euro). We take the opportunity to see this magnificent city from the river as well, and after continuing on to the Ocean, we end our tour. After the tour, transfer to our hotel and overnight at the hotel.
Porto
After breakfast, free time. For those who wish, we will additionally organize the Braga & Guimarães tour (70 Euro). Our first stop is Braga, one of Portugal’s important cities. In Braga, we visit one of the important sacred sites, the Church of Bom Jesus do Monte. This magnificent structure, reached by climbing 650 steps, is one of the finest examples of the granite architecture of Northern Portugal. On holy days, devout people climb these steps on their knees to reach the sacred site. After Braga, we head to Guimarães, Portugal’s former capital. Under UNESCO protection, Guimarães is a very charming city with its typical houses and squares. After seeing Guimarães, we travel to Porto along a scenic road by the ocean.
