In Braga, we will visit one of its significant religious sites, the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte (Church of the Good Jesus of the Mount). This magnificent structure, reached by climbing 650 steps, is one of the finest examples of Northern Portugal’s granite architecture. On holy days, devout people climb these steps on their knees to reach the sacred site. After Braga, we will depart for Guimarães, the former capital of Portugal.

After Fátima, we head toward the Atlantic coast and the fishing town of Nazaré, famous for its beach. It is impossible not to be impressed by the cliffs of Nazaré, where the famous explorer Vasco da Gama came to pray before embarking on his long sea voyages. We then visit the medieval town of Óbidos, a heritage site that has managed to preserve its historic character, with its 12th-century walls still standing, before continuing to Lisbon. Upon arrival, we take a panoramic city tour of Lisbon. The tour includes Eduardo VII Park, Rossio Square, considered the heart of the city, the famous Liberdade Avenue, the Tagus River, São Jorge Castle, the Alfama district, the Alcântara district, Belém Tower, from where explorers were bid farewell before their voyages, the Monument to the Discoveries in Belém, and the Jerónimos Monastery.

Afterwards, you will have free time to explore the narrow, car-free streets in the city center and have lunch. In the afternoon, we will set foot at Cabo de Roca, the westernmost point of Europe. Continuing along the ocean coast, we will first pass Cape Guincho and then arrive at the “Boca de Inferno” cliffs near Cascais. We will descend into central Cascais and explore its fishing harbor.
