Explore the charismatic and colourful city of Lisbon from the doorstep of the historic 5-star Pousada de Lisboa hotel. Located in the heart of Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio, where history merges with architectural elegance and the beauty of the River Tagus, this is the perfect location to stroll across the city, meet the locals and taste the famous custard tart of Portugal, \u2018Pastel de Bel\u00e9m\u2019. Visit the famous neighbourhood of Bel\u00e9m and the church of the Jer\u00f3nimos monastery. There will be an opportunity to visit the charming village of Sintra, located in a Natural Park with castles and grand mansions used as summer houses for Portuguese royalty. It\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage site and due to its natural beauty and unique atmosphere, Sintra is one of the most visited villages in Portugal. A tour to Sintra is not complete without a visit to the Pena Palace, an astonishing fairytale palace located on one of the highest peaks of the Sintra\u2019s Mountain range. Pena Palace was built in the 19th Century by King consort Ferdinand II.<\/p>\n

Travelling North to the historic city of Porto you will have an opportunity to visit the famous Fatima Sanctuary, center of Christian faith and world pilgrimage, which celebrates the apparitions of Our Lady to the three shepherds: Lucia de Jesus, Francisco and Jacinta Marto.\u00a0After this, explore Tomar, a beautiful city linked to the history of the Templars, which has been a mystery for many centuries. We cannot leave Tomar without a visit to one of the most spectacular monuments in Portugal: The Convent of Christ. The Pestana Vintage becomes your home for the next two nights offering fabulous views over the river and the historic Port wine houses. A walking tour of the historic city is followed by an opportunity to taste some of the oldest wines in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Onwards to the Wine region of the Douro Valley where you will visit family-owned wineries and of course, try some of their wines. In the Douro Valley the vineyards are planted in the mountain\u2019s slopes and its wine has unique characteristics due to the soil and climate.
