    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrive Lisbon

      Pastel and azulejo-clad facades line Lisbonโ€™s narrow streets which ramble across and over its seven hills from St. George Castle to the Tagus River. Gaze over the Portuguese capitalโ€™s terracotta rooftops, soaking up its small-town atmosphere before kicking off your adventure later this evening.

See the Hieronymite Monastery and the medieval quarter as well as views of the alabaster-white Belรฉm Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries before taking the rest of the day to explore on your own. Consider joining a Choice Experience to Portugalโ€™s Golden Triangle of Cascais, Estoril and Sintra to see some of the countryโ€™s most extravagant palaces during your free afternoon. This evening, perhaps join an optional traditional Portuguese dinner amidst the heart-wrenching, melancholic sounds of the fado.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Lisbon Free Day

      Que bom! A full free day in Lisboa to explore the enchanting Portuguese capital your way. The secret to living a long life lies in eating a big breakfast, but as youโ€™ll come to discover in Lisbon that may extend to a big lunch and dinner too. Spend the day indulging in a culinary adventure on your own or choose an optional visit to the fishing village of Nazarรฉ, set on a wide bay overlooking the Atlantic. This Choice Experience also includes a visit to ร“bidos where youโ€™ll have time to explore the medieval walled city with its whitewashed houses and cobblestone lanes. Aside from its obvious charm and history that pre-dates the founding of Portugal, ร“bidos is also home to the delightfully decadent Ginja cherry liqueur served up in tiny chocolate cups. Donโ€™t go home without a taste or two!
