Starting our day at 9h 30m. First, we'll drive through Lisbon. Through its narrow streets and alleys, with a medieval Moorish heritage. Here you'll have a scenic view from the top of the hill. 

Descending the slopes to Pombaline downtown you'll have a scenic view of the entire city. After the big Earthquake, in 1755, the medieval Lisbon in ruins was redesigned with a geometrical pattern, large avenues and well organized neighborhoods. Here, you can count with streets full of life, lovely shops and 18th buildings full of charm. 

Now we're next the waterfront of Lisbon, going to Belém district. We  anticipate the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Monastery of Jerónimos and the Tower of  Belém, in a modern city full of life and color.

Classified by UNESCO in 1983, the Monastery of Jerónimos was built by Dom Manuel I in the 16th century. This monument is essential to appreciate the Manueline style - sailing knots, ropes, ringed spheres, crosses of the Military Order of Christ and naturalistic features - exclusive of Portugal and celebrating the Age of Discoveries.

The Tower of Belém was in the past a protection and river defense structure. It was classified by UNESCO in 1983 as a World Heritage Site. This defensive structure, in the river estuary, surprises with its decoration. Once again, Manueline style. 

In the afternoon, Mafra. 

In the village of Batalha you will find one of the most beautiful Portuguese monuments - the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória.

This Monastery is also popularly known as Monastery of Batalha, alluding to the decisive Battle of Aljubarrota, between the Kingdom of Portugal and Castile - 1385 - from which Portugal emerged victorious and with a consolidated independence from Spain of nowadays. 

This magnificent building presents itself as an authentic passport for time travel: from the Middle Ages, to the  Age of Discoveries. Rest assured that this masterpiece of Gothic and stone lacy, Manueline - rehearsed in this place, for the first time in Portugal, will surprise you, for sure. 

Classified by UNESCO in 1983.

The city of Tomar invites you to stroll along the banks of the Nabão River; a drink, in one of the streets and squares, with tile facades or Art Nouveau; or even, a walk through medieval Jewish neighborhood. But, what is most pulsating in this city is the Templar heritage.

It will be in the Convent of Christ that we will find the gems of Knights Templar - such as the Templar Church, with an octagonal shape called “Charola”; memories of the Order of Christ; Henry the navigator Age; at its peak, Manueline Art; the specificity of Portuguese Renaissance architecture and, still, the Mannerism and Baroque features of this architectural ensemble.

The Convent of the Order of Christ and the Templar Castle make a unique monumental ensemble. 

It was classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1983.

Overnight in Tomar. 

The day starts, at the usual hour, in the City of Knowledge as Coimbra is also known since the Middle Ages.

Bathed by the Mondego River, it is famous for its University and  Joanine Library; students in their black cloaks and serenades; the Monastery of Santa Cruz de Coimbra - where the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, rests; the New Cathedral; the Old Cathedral and the historic center.

Overnight in Tomar or Coimbra. 

Sintra surprises you with places where Man and Nature have been living in a perfect relation through the ages, preserving the magic of Sintra Hill. 

Climbing the mountain by car we can see stunning green landscape and Pena Palace stands out, right in the middle, with its bold colors and Gothic/Renaissance decorative elements. At the top of the hill, the Moorish Castle. There we advise you to take a deep breath and let yourself be inspired by the beauty of the surroundings. 

One of the most romantic places in Portugal. Classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, in 1995. 

After a break in the historic center of the romantic village of Sintra  we advise you to taste the traditional pastry  Queijada de Sintra or the cherry-based liqueur Ginjinha.
