There’s something powerful about a week well spent. Not rushed. Not overcrowded. Just beautifully balanced—moments of exploration paired with quiet reflection, grand history followed by slow, scenic drives, and meals that stretch into memories.
In Portugal, seven days can feel like a lifetime of discovery—if done the right way.
At Portugal Magik Private Tours, we specialize in crafting custom private journeys across the country, often for guests traveling with us for one unforgettable week. Guided by comfort, culture, and connection, this is how we’d plan the perfect seven days in Portugal—tailored for you, and always at your pace.
Day 1: Arrival in Lisbon – Settle into the Soul of the City
Your private driver meets you at the airport with a smile and a chilled bottle of water. No stress. No guesswork. Just a smooth arrival and a short drive to your boutique hotel in central Lisbon.
Spend the afternoon on a private, relaxed walking tour of Alfama, the city’s oldest neighborhood. Winding lanes, tiled façades, and soft fado music drifting from windows—it’s a beautiful way to ease into the rhythm of Portugal.
In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner with river views, or let us arrange a cozy table in a traditional fado house for an emotional, unforgettable first night.
Day 2: Discover Belém and the Age of Discovery
Begin with a private tour of Belém, where Portugal’s great explorers once set sail. Visit Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries—guided with insight, not overload.
Taste the original pastel de nata from its 1837 bakery, then enjoy a riverside lunch. The afternoon is yours to enjoy a scenic drive or a quiet visit to the National Coach Museum.
Day 3: Day Trip to Sintra – Palaces and Forest Mystique
Sintra is not just a town—it’s a fairytale. With your private guide, you’ll arrive before the crowds and explore Palácio da Pena, Quinta da Regaleira, or perhaps Monserrate, depending on your style.
Enjoy lunch in a romantic garden café, stroll through hidden forest paths, and stop at Cabo da Roca—the westernmost point of continental Europe—for a panoramic moment that stays with you long after.
Return to Lisbon in time for a relaxed dinner by the Tagus.
Day 4: Into the Heart of Alentejo – Évora and Beyond
Leave the city behind and head east into Alentejo, Portugal’s quiet countryside. Rolling hills, olive groves, cork forests, and silence.
Stop in Évora, a UNESCO-listed gem, to explore its Roman temple, bone chapel, and peaceful squares. Enjoy lunch in a slow-food restaurant and arrive at your countryside estate or vineyard stay by late afternoon.
Watch the sun set behind the olive trees with a glass of local red in hand.
Day 5: The Douro Valley – Portugal’s Wine Country
Your guide takes you north today through scenic backroads, stopping at charming villages and viewpoints en route to the Douro Valley.
Check into a boutique wine estate with panoramic river views. Enjoy a private Port tasting, a boat ride on the Douro, or simply unwind by the terrace. The pace is yours to set.
Dinner? Farm-to-table, with local olive oil, river fish, and valley wines.
“We never felt rushed. It was the luxury of space, time, and being cared for without ever feeling ‘on tour.’” – Marcus L., Chicago
Day 6: Porto – Charm, Culture, and Character
Arrive in Porto, where blue-tiled churches and riverside cafés create a relaxed, soulful atmosphere. Walk with your guide through the historic Ribeira, visit São Bento Station, and explore hidden bookstores and art galleries.
Enjoy a private tasting at one of Porto’s historic Port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, then dine at a contemporary bistro overlooking the water.
Porto is a city to experience through layers—and your guide knows just how to reveal them.
Day 7: Departure (or One More Day?)
Depending on your flight, enjoy a relaxing morning walk, a final coffee by the river, or a quiet moment in one of Porto’s beautiful gardens.
Your driver handles the luggage and timing. You just breathe, reflect, and carry Portugal with you.
Or… maybe you’re not ready to leave yet? Add a day in the Minho region (Braga and Guimarães), a beach retreat in Cascais, or extra nights in the Douro. With Portugal Magik, everything is flexible—and always custom-built for you.
Seven Days, A Lifetime of Memories
This is not a race. It’s a private journey through Portugal—crafted with care, guided by expertise, and delivered with soul. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, one week with Portugal Magik can feel like the beginning of something new.
