Heart of Portugal in 14 Days Tour

Starting in lively Lisbon and ending in proud Porto, our Heart of Portugal tour combines a dazzling mix of Roman, Moorish, and Baroque architecture with the small towns, coast, food, wine, and music of this tradition-rich country. Venturing far from the tourist crowd, this tour has a real "Europe in the old days" feel to it. Your Rick Steves guide will take you on an intimate adventure that connects you with the Portuguese people, from salty harbors to sun-baked farms to lovingly tended vineyards.

Today’s Schedule

Today’s Excursion – Savoring Proud Porto

This morning we’ll take a walking tour of Porto’s riverfront Ribeira district, including the lavish rooms of its Stock Exchange Palace, the exquisitely gilded Church of São Francisco, and São Bento train station. Then we’ll enjoy a peaceful cruise on the Douro River, floating under many of Porto’s majestic bridges. The afternoon and evening are all yours to wander through Porto’s lively city center — or seek out some sipping at a port-wine lodge.
