3 Nights – Lisbon
7 Nights – Madeira
✈️ UK – Lisbon (3 nights): On arrival in Lisbon, you’ll want to dive straight into exploring Portugal’s vibrant capital. Perched on the banks for the Tagus river, with large sun-drenched squares, iconic yellow trams that rattle through historic streets, and a vibrant restaurant and café scene, it’s a city that’s so easy to fall in love with.
Taking the iconic Tram 28 is a great way to explore the historic parts of Lisbon, winding through the city’s oldest streets before you make your way up towards São Jorge Castle. While the tram won’t take you directly to the castle, you can hop off at Largo das Portas do Sol, a stunning viewpoint in Alfama, and take a short but steep walk to the entrance. However you get there, the reward is worth it – with panoramic views over Lisbon and its terracotta rooftops.
No visit is complete without tasting a warm pastéis de nata (custard tart) best enjoyed at one of the artisanal bakeries dotted around the city. For a spot of shopping, head to the Avenida da Liberdade, a tree-lined street with a great selection of shops and lively cafés or explore the vintage shops in the Baixa district. As night falls, head to Bairro Alto with its maze of narrow streets, live Fado music spilling out of bars and a lively atmosphere.
If you have time for a day trip, we highly recommend Sintra with its fairy-tale palaces in the foothills of the Sintra mountains, just a 40-minute train ride away. Visit the magical Pena Palace, perched on top of a hill and the Quinta da Regaleira, with its secret tunnels and pretty gardens. Its location and mountain backdrop make Sintra a welcome cool escape, especially in the summer months.
✈️ Lisbon – Funchal (Madeira) (7 nights): Your private transfer will whisk you back to the airport for a short flight to Madeira, located southwest of the Portuguese mainland and surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. You can choose to stay in Funchal, Madeira’s capital or if you prefer a quieter escape, the Madeiran countryside offers a lovely retreat, with picturesque villages and lush landscapes. For the best of both worlds, consider a split stay – spending a few days in Funchal then retreating to the countryside for a few days.
Some of the highlights of Funchal include the vibrant Mercado dos Lavradores, where you can sample the local food and crafts, and the beautiful Madeira Botanical Garden, home to an impressive collection of plants. Take a cable car ride up to Monte for panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountains and visit the Monte Palace with its art collection of Portuguese and African art and tropical gardens. Also, for a taste of the famous Madeira wine and to learn about the wine production on the island, visit one of the city’s wine cellars.
In Madeira’s countryside, you’ll find a whole host of outdoor activities including hiking the dramatic levada trails through laurel forests, exploring the volcanic pools of Porto Moniz, or taking in breath-taking views from the Cabo Girão skywalk, the highest in Europe. For those who love the water, a boat trip is a must – whether to spot dolphins and whales or to visit the neighbouring island of Porto Santo, known for its golden beaches.
✈️ Funchal (Madeira) – UK: Whether you spend the week in the Madeiran capital, countryside or a mix of the two, we’ll take you back to the airport in Funchal at the end of your stay for your flight back to the UK.

We have used Eshores on many occasions over the years especially when booking long haul holidays. They are so friendly, helpful and knowledgable , nothing is to much trouble. Would highly recommend them especially Dave.
Great service from Rob, super helpful and patient, came back with many quotes for me. Really listened to what I wanted unlike other companies also very comparable on price and worked out cheaper than me doing it myself. I would definitely recommend and would use again (although I haven't been on the holiday yet!!)
First time we have used eShores. Michelle Porter was exceptional with her knowledge and recommendations. We were given several options to consider and all our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. First class service. Would definitely recommend Michelle/eShores and they will be our first contact when looking at future holidays.
Fantastic Holiday in Singapore and Thailand. Epic trp to Singapore, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and the wonderful Koh Lanta. Thanks to Anna King who arranged our holiday. 10/10!
First time we have use Eshore & very impress with how professional Kadie was with quoting on a holiday package.
Dave helped me secure the holiday I wanted, within the specified budget. In fact, I ended up with an extra couple of nights, which is a bonus. His emails were prompt and he was a joy to speak to on the phone. Would highly recommend eShores.
Our 4th trip using Eshores has just been booked. Andy was super efficient in making sure all our requirements were met. Would highly recommend this excellent company
