A 14-Day Private Portugal Itinerary
Two weeks is the itinerary we compose for travellers who want the whole country — Lisbon and its south, the Alentejo plains, the wild Costa Vicentina and, if it fits, the north. It's the trip most people wish they'd booked the first time.

The rhythm of the journey
Your designer swaps, stretches or removes days so the pace fits your group. Nothing below is a package — every day already exists in our real Signature catalog.
- Days 1–3 · Lisbon · Sintra · Arrábida
The Lisbon triangle — city, forest, wine coast.
A soft arrival, one private Sintra day, and one day south of the bridge in the Arrábida wine country. By day four you understand why people fall for Lisbon.
- Days 4–5 · Alentejo · Évora
Évora and the marble villages.
Two nights in Évora — Roman ruins, cork-oak drives, and dinner at a table your designer has eaten at. A vinho de talha morning outside the city on day five.
- Days 6–7 · Costa Vicentina
The wild southwest coast — cliffs, empty beaches, fishing villages.
Two nights on the Costa Vicentina. Porto Covo, Vila Nova de Milfontes, Odeceixe — the Atlantic coast most trips never see. Slow, cinematic, and easy on the phone.
- Day 8 · Comporta · Tróia
Back north through Comporta.
Rice fields and pine forest on the drive back up. Lunch in Comporta, a walk on the beach, a night in Tróia or a quiet quinta on the estuary.
- Days 9–10 · Centro · Tomar · Coimbra
The Centro — Templar heritage and a university city.
The Convento de Cristo in Tomar, a slow lunch by the Mondego in Coimbra, and — if the season is right — a fado alma at a small tasca in the old town.
- Days 11–13 · Porto · Douro
Porto and the Douro Valley.
Two nights in Porto for the city, one night at a wine quinta in the Douro. This is the leg the Travel Designer builds most carefully — the good places book out first.
- Day 14 · Lisbon · Departure
Fly home from Lisbon.
A short domestic hop from Porto to Lisbon, a last coffee, and out. Two weeks is exactly enough to want to come back.
Fourteen days is our most-requested multi-day journey. Your Travel Designer decides where to slow down and where to skip — some travellers cut the north for more Alentejo, others do the opposite. The itinerary is a shape; the days are yours.

About this itinerary
- Is 14 days too long for Portugal?
- No — Portugal is a small country with very different regions. Two weeks lets you go deep in both the south and the north without a rushed schedule. Shorter trips inevitably skip either the Alentejo or the Douro.
- How much does a 14-day private Portugal trip cost?
- It varies with hotel category, group size, and how many days are chauffeured versus self-drive. Your Travel Designer shares a realistic budget range on the first call — no obligation.
- Can we adjust the itinerary once we're travelling?
- Yes — because everything is private, the itinerary flexes day-by-day. Your designer stays reachable throughout the trip.
