Twelve days. Just enough time for Portugal to slow you down, open its arms, and etch itself into your memory. It’s a journey not of urgency, but of rhythm — where medieval cities give way to vineyard stillness, and ocean breezes lead you to olive trees and tiled palaces.
With Portugal Magik Private Tours, this two-week itinerary is crafted entirely around your comfort and curiosity. One dedicated driver-guide, a luxury vehicle, hand-picked stays, and your own pace — always. This is the Portugal of discerning travelers: rich in experience, light in effort, and unforgettable in feeling.
Day 1–2: Lisbon – A Grand Beginning
Your journey begins in Lisbon, the capital that never tries too hard — because it doesn’t need to. You’re met at the airport and privately transferred to your boutique hotel in Chiado, Avenida da Liberdade, or the historic Alfama.
Over two days, enjoy a private discovery of Lisbon:
-
Alfama’s winding streets and secret viewpoints
-
Monumental Belém, with riverside cafés and pastries still warm from the oven
-
A rooftop cocktail, arranged with sunset timing
-
An elegant welcome dinner, table reserved, wine paired
No lines. No rushing. Just the city, softly unfolding.
Day 3: Sintra and the Coast – Palaces and Sea Air
Today’s drive leads to Sintra, where forested hills hide royal palaces and gardens filled with stories. Explore Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira with timed access, or take a quieter route to the lesser-known Monserrate Estate.
From here, descend to the Atlantic. Visit Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, before arriving in Cascais for a relaxing seaside evening.
Stay in a villa-style hotel or elegant resort by the shore. Dinner can be set under the stars.
Day 4–5: Cascais – Coastal Calm and Sophisticated Leisure
Two days in Cascais allow for full unwinding. You may:
-
Explore the local markets and walk the elegant marina
-
Visit Guincho Beach, where the surf meets golden cliffs
-
Enjoy a long lunch overlooking the sea
-
Indulge in a spa afternoon, or take a private e-bike ride along the coast
Your driver-guide remains available, but this part of the journey is designed to breathe.
Day 6: The Road to Alentejo – Into the Golden Heart
Leave the coast behind and follow a private scenic route into Alentejo, Portugal’s soul. The land flattens, the sky widens. Cork trees and vineyards roll endlessly past.
Settle into your chosen accommodation:
-
A wine estate with a spa and infinity pool
-
A converted monastery, where luxury meets silence
-
Or a countryside design hotel surrounded by olive groves
We’ll arrange a sunset wine tasting or a private dinner on the terrace — always with flavor, never with fuss.
Day 7–8: Évora and Beyond – Stones, Stories, and Slowness
Over two unhurried days, explore the region:
-
Discover Évora, a UNESCO gem of Roman temples, Gothic cathedrals, and whitewashed lanes
-
Visit Monsaraz, a hilltop village with lake views and barely a sound
-
Enjoy olive oil tastings, family-run wineries, and meals that last for hours
-
Walk through cork forests and megalithic stone circles older than Stonehenge
Alentejo invites introspection. You’ll feel it the moment you arrive.
Day 9: Into the North – Toward the Douro Valley
As Alentejo fades in the rearview, the terrain changes — and so does the mood. Travel north with comfort breaks and a lunch stop en route to the Douro Valley, where vineyard terraces rise steeply from the river.
Check into your luxury quinta or boutique wine hotel. Watch the sunset with a glass of port. Tomorrow, the river is yours.
Day 10–11: Douro Valley – Wine, Views, and River Time
Spend your next two days immersed in the Douro:
-
Take a private boat ride on the river — slow, silent, and scenic
-
Visit world-class wineries for exclusive tastings, paired with regional cheeses and stories
-
Enjoy a curated lunch on a terrace overlooking the vines
-
Visit Pinhão or Lamego, or relax at your hotel with a spa or private pool experience
This part of the journey is indulgent, but always authentic — rooted in land, people, and passion.
Day 12: Porto – The Elegant Finale
On your final day, journey into Porto for a graceful farewell. If departing in the evening or next morning, enjoy:
-
A gentle walking tour through Ribeira
-
A private tasting in a historic port wine lodge
-
A farewell dinner in a riverside restaurant with panoramic views
Depart at ease. Your private driver handles everything, right down to luggage and timing.
Why 12 Days Is Just Right
In 12 days, you’ll experience:
-
Lisbon’s color and culture
-
The charm and class of the coast
-
Alentejo’s depth, taste, and silence
-
Douro’s natural grandeur and wine tradition
-
And Porto’s graceful, riverside elegance
But more than places, you’ll remember the feeling: unhurried, supported, and completely your own.
