Why This Trip Stands Out
This 8-day Portugal trip is designed for solo travelers and keeps the route focused instead of trying to cover the entire country. Lisbon, the Atlantic coast, the Douro Valley and Porto give you a mix of cities, scenery, food and wine in a social small-group format.
- Start in Lisbon with a local food experience.
- See the coast around Cabo da Roca and Cascais.
- Travel north through Aveiro toward the Douro Valley.
- Finish in Porto with riverfront neighborhoods and a Douro cruise.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–3 | Lisbon & the Coast

Spend time in the Douro region with vineyard scenery, walking and local experiences in one of Portugal’s best-known wine areas.
