3 Nights – Lisbon
7 Nights – Beach (Cascais or Algarve)
✈️ UK – Lisbon (3 nights): On arrival in Lisbon, you’ll quickly see why it consistently ranks among the best cities in Europe for its blend of history, delicious food, and sunny, laid-back atmosphere. A great starting point is the Praça do Comércio (Terreiro do Paço), a grand riverside square that once housed the Royal Palace. Here, you can enjoy an ice cream or sit at one of the cafes, watching the world go by. From there, head to the hilltop Castelo de São Jorge, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views before descending into the historic Alfama District. With its narrow streets, colourful houses, and Fado music spilling from the bars, Alfama offers a glimpse of old Lisbon. For a spot of nightlife, make your way to the bohemian Bairro Alto, where lively bars and restaurants line the narrow, cobbled streets. To experience the city’s modern side, visit LX Factory, a former industrial area now transformed into a trendy hub filled with cafes, shops, and street art. No trip to Lisbon is complete without tasting pastéis de nata, the iconic custard tarts, best enjoyed at one of the city’s many artisanal bakeries.
🚆 Lisbon – Beach (Cascais or Algarve) (7 nights): After soaking up Lisbon’s energy, it’s time to relax at a beach resort of your choice. Choose between the chic coastal retreat of Cascais, just 40 minutes on a train from Lisbon, or the golden beaches and dramatic cliffs of the Algarve in southern Portugal. Cascais is renowned for being a stylish seaside town with a lovely, laid-back charm. Its Marina de Cascais is a hub of waterfront dining where you can sit and look out at the luxury yachts and ocean views or take a stroll or sunset boat trip.
There are plenty of stunning beaches in the area, from wild and windswept to calm to family-friendly bays. Praia do Guincho, about 8 km from Cascais, is a paradise for surfers, windsurfers, and kitesurfers. Whilst Praia do Tamariz in nearby Estoril offers a more sheltered and relaxed atmosphere, with a gently sloping shoreline and a long stretch of golden sand. Estoril is also home to the famous Casino Estoril, one of Europe’s largest casinos.
If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed and sun-kissed, then the Algarve may suit you better. Around a 3-hour train trip from Lisbon to Faro, the Algarve is home to over 100 miles of pristine, Blue Flag beaches, world-renowned golf courses, and picture-postcard cliffs overlooking turquoise waters, perfect for surfing, windsurfing, and various water activities. One of the best beaches is Praia de Falésia, a 6km stretch of golden sands nestled between Albufeira and Vilamoura, where you’ll find plenty of hotels to suit all budgets. Vilamoura itself is a lovely resort, with a marina and great nightlife. If you’re looking for luxury, the exclusive resorts of Quinta do Lago and Val do Lobo are renowned for their stunning beaches, golf courses, high-end restaurants and shopping. For those who prefer a mix of beaches and lively bars, Albufeira offers both, while Lagos boasts stunning cliffs and quiet beaches. If you’re after a more rugged, tranquil experience, head to Sagres in the Algarve’s southwest, where you’ll find a picturesque harbour and pristine beaches.
✈️ Beach – UK: You’ll fly home from Faro Airport if staying in the Algarve or take the short train back to Lisbon Airport if you opt for Cascais.

eShores have organised three holidays for us and we have just booked our fourth. I have found them to be efficient and helpful. When we had health issues when abroad they were very helpful, and when there was a mishap with a booking, they were proactive and transparent, and provided a fair resolution.
Fantastic service, its the second time booking with Michelle, she has been brilliant, if this next holiday lives up to the last one, it will be fabulous.
Excellent service, competitive prices, nothing to much trouble sorting out any extras required, the agent I dealt with, Kadie, was extremely helpful, professional & polite. I put in a request about where I'd like to go by email, an email came back with the itinerary I'd asked for with a further information & then I…
A wonderful company to do business with. No question or request is too much trouble. The holidays created are top notch. Support whilst away is excellent. Would highly recommend.
From my first conversation with Dave I immediately felt in safe, sensible hands. We have booked what will be a very different type of holiday and are confident that his recommendations and research will pay off
Approachable and professional
eShores were really helpful when I wanted a Taylor made holiday they were the best price out there by a long way found them very easy to deal with always treated politely I would recommend them to anyone
We were recommended Kadie by friends and has now been our holiday representative for the last 4 years travelling throughout Asia, she is always so helpful, friendly and available to answer queries. Everything always runs very smoothly. Thank you Kadie, we would always recommend you too
Asked for a specific itinerary for Sicily - Emma came up with one, plus all transfer options; we then did some changes and she put together exactly the holiday we wanted! Very easy and pleasant to talk to; very professional.
I always feel that eShores listen to what I want from my trip and put together a package that suits my needs. Anna has been charming to deal with. She put together a wonderful tour of Malaysia and Borneo for me and has just arranged a trip to Costa Rica for me which I am…
Book every time with Dave at eshores always excellent service, wouldn't go anywhere else
We haven't had the holiday yet but the booking process was excellent. Looking to see several of the smaller islands of Greece the suggested itinerary met our requirements exactly. Each location had an option of three different hotels but our in depth research of each island just confirmed that the suggested one was the best.…
Used Eshores earlier this year for a trip to Venice and Florence. Excellent holiday. All arrangements by Eshores were brilliant. Have recently booked another holiday with them. Again, easy to deal with. They take care to ensure everything arranged to your wishes.
Claire at eShores was friendly, professional and creative in setting up a multi-centre holiday over Christmas and New Year, including all international and inter-Caribbean flights. Nothing was too much trouble and our whims and wishes were all taken into account. Ongoing support is excellent. We cannot recommend eShores highly enough.
Good communication, prompt service, love the way the quote is laid out all details are included also with the option of upgrading your hotel. So far so good.
Very friends staff always available to answer my questions re availability and costs . Willing to research my requests and advise possibilities .
We have now used eShores probably 6 times and every time they have been so informative and helpful, thoroughly recommend
