Lisboa, Portugal’s great capital city, once gateway to the oceans is now the height of fashion with its fado-filled taverns, charming neighbourhoods and pretty trams struggling up vertiginous hills.
Smaller and more accessible Coimbra, home to Portugal’s oldest University, has much to offer with medieval convents and churches, museums and art galleries.
Finish your northern and central Portugal holiday in Porto, the country’s second city with its famous Old Town and Ribeira neighbourhoods and wine lodges lining the bank of the Douro river.
The full route takes a week, but you can do as little, or as much, as you like.

Rossio square and train station
Skip out to Sintra, and the beaches of Cascais & Aldeia do Meco
Bar hop in Bairro Alto, dine in style in Chiado
