DAY 2 – HALF DAY LISBON 
Lisbon is an illuminated city. The almost constant presence of sunshine and the River Tagus transforms the Portuguese capital into a mirror of a thousand colours - highlighting the city’s unique architecture and beauty. Start by visiting Belém, an area strongly linked to Portugal’s Golden Age of Discoveries as the site where the famous navigators set sail to discover the world. Today it is a spacious green area with many gardens, parks and monuments that are well worth a visit. Amongst Belém’s attractions are the Jerónimos Monastery, the Monument to the Discoveries and the Tower of Belém. Proceed then to downtown for a panoramic visit of Marquês de Pombal, Avenida da Liberdade and Rossio’s Square. Next, visit to the old town of Alfama the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the S. Jorge Castle and the Tejo River. A short walk of the Alfama quarter will be done, to appreciate the small, curvy streets and its popular life and atmosphere.

DAY 3 – FULL DAY SINTRA
Sintra, a charming small town that due to its microclimate and natural beauty was chosen by the Portuguese Royalty as a vacation spot for many centuries. Due to its immense historical background and buildings UNESCO declared Sintra World Heritage. In here we suggest a visit to Sintra’s beautiful monuments, such as the National Palace, Quinta da Regaleira or Pena Palace, or just some free time to explore the historical centre. In the afternoon, departure towards Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. About this special place, the great Portuguese epic poet, Luis de Camões  wrote: “this is where the land finishes and the sea begins”. Driving by the coastal area of Guincho, arrival to Cascais a former fishing village nowadays more faced into services & tourism. If timing allows it, some free time will be given in Cascais Bay. If returning to Lisbon, we will take the boulevard road, Avenida Marginal, passing by Estoril.

DAY 4 – FULL DAY FATIMA / BATALHA / NAZARE / OBIDOS
Departure in the morning towards Fátima, centre of Christian faith and world pilgrimage. Continue towards Batalha, where it’s located the Portuguese Gothic masterpiece and classified in UNESCO's International Heritage list, the Santa Maria da Vitória Monastery (14th-16th centuries) – a national landmark. Next, departure to Nazaré, a picturesque fisherman’s village where after having an enjoyable lunch you will have opportunity to stop at Sitio, a marvellous viewpoint over the Atlantic Ocean. Proceed then to Óbidos, one of the most important sites in the history of Portugal. Quite close to the capital and located on high ground near the Atlantic coast, you will find a well-preserved castle within the walls and a maze of streets and white houses that are a delight to stroll amongst. Along with the Manueline porticoes, the colourful window boxes and the small squares, many fine examples of religious and civil architecture from the town’s golden days provide a host of reasons for making a visit.
