Lisbon delivers a complete European escape in long weekend-sized bites. This five-day itinerary starts among the azulejo-tiled streets of Alfama, rises to the fortress viewpoints of São Jorge, and then turns its back on the city for the Atlantic: a full day across the Tagus to the fairytale palaces of Sintra and a morning surf lesson on waves that built Portugal’s seafaring story.

Pasteis de nata, a ride on the famous Tram 28, and a fado show after dark — it’s all here, neatly timed, with a local guide who’s as likely to debate football as history. The most affordable package we run, and the most underestimated.

Journey highlights

• Alfama tiled-street walk & Tram 28 ride
• Sintra day trip — Pena Palace & Moorish Castle
• Atlantic surf lesson on Cascais bay
• Fado performance with a late-night dinner
