Welcome to Portugal! Upon arrival at Lisbon International Airport, your private driver-guide will be waiting for you with a personalized meet & greet, ready to assist with luggage and escort you comfortably into the city.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, two of Portugal’s most iconic landmarks. The highlight of the morning will be tasting the world-famous Pastéis de Belém custard tarts, loved by both children and adults.

The afternoon is free for family relaxation — whether at the hotel pool, a gentle riverside stroll, or exploring on your own.
