Description
4 Nights – Lisbon
3 Nights – Porto
✈ UK – Lisbon (4 Nights): From the iconic yellow trams and pastel-coloured buildings to the lively cafés lining the streets, Lisbon welcomes you with a warm and inviting atmosphere as soon as you arrive. One of the key areas to explore is the historic Alfama district. Visit the hilltop São Jorge Castle for stunning panoramic views of the city or admire the impressive Romanesque architecture of the Lisbon Cathedral, the oldest church in the city. Make sure you head to the Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol, two breath-taking viewpoints offering panoramic views over the city’s terracotta rooftops and stunning cityscape. As you wander through the narrow cobblestone streets, you’ll come across the bustling Feira da Ladra, a flea market brimming with antiques, second-hand goods, and local crafts. As the evening sets in, head to Bairro Alto, where the sounds of live Fado music spill out from bars, and the atmosphere comes alive over cocktails.
For the more modern side of the city, explore Avenida da Liberdade, where shops, stylish cafes, and lively terraces line the street. Just a short walk away is the trendy PrÃncipe Real, known for its quirky shops, cool bars, and cultural scene.
If you fancy a day trip, the fairy-tale town of Sintra is just 40 minutes from Lisbon by train, and an absolute must-see. Wander through the magical Pena Palace or explore the hidden tunnels and enchanting gardens of Quinta da Regaleira. Alternatively, head to Cascais, a lovely coastal town also just a short train ride away. Here, you can stroll along the beach, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak up the beauty of the Atlantic.
🚆 Lisbon – Porto (3 Nights): Time to embark on the next stage of your Portuguese adventure as you take the scenic train ride from Lisbon to Porto. Porto’s historic centre is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and, as you might expect, is teeming with stunning architectural treasures, from the iconic Ribeira District with its colourful buildings to the Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world – believed to have inspired JK Rowling’s description of Hogwarts. As you explore the city, make sure you try some of the local delights – including the bacalhau (salt-cod) and fresh seafood along the riverfront. As the name suggests, Porto is the home of port, and a must-do visit is the port wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia where the port is stored and aged before being shipped all over the world. Here, you can take guided tours to learn about the ageing process, sample different varieties, and enjoy stunning views of the Douro River while sipping on a glass of this rich, fortified wine. Porto is also ideally placed for visiting the Douro Valley, a UNESCO-listed wine region famous for its terraced vineyards that stretch along the banks of the Douro River. Just a short journey from the city, you can enjoy wine tours around the traditional wineries and tastings of the local wines.
✈ Porto – UK: After your week exploring the best of Portugal’s cities, we’ll transfer you back to the airport for your flight back home.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
