Ten-Night Lisbon and Madeira Holiday

Portugal’s dynamic capital meets the laid-back island lifestyle of Funchal on our Ten-Night Lisbon and Madeira Holiday.

Historic Lisbon is one of Europe’s oldest cities. It’s seen the rise and fall of the Roman empire, invasions by the Visigoths and the Moors, devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, the demise of two royal dynasties and a Carnation Revolution.

Modern-day Lisbon is an exciting, 21^st century city – you’ll spend five nights in the heart of the capital, with its most-popular districts within easy walking distance: the grand riverfront Praca Comercio, the tangled medieval streets of Alfama, and the exceptional restaurants and café bars of Bairro Alto. You’ll also have a chance to explore further afield: our guides will show you the white sands of Cascais and fairytale palaces of Sintra, and historic Belem with its beautiful 16th century Jeronimos Monastery is a short tram ride away.

Leaving the mainland, you’ll fly west – to the Atlantic island of Madeira for a five-night stay in the capital Funchal. There’s a noticeable gear change – the Madeiran pace of life is much more relaxed, and you’ll have time to explore the city at your leisure: the famous Zona Velha old town district, the Monte Palace Gardens and the Carro de Cesto taboggans are all close by.

You’ll also explore the island’s breathtaking scenery – from the coastal villages and river valleys of Eastern Madeira, to the famous Cabo Girao skywalk and the secluded Curral das Freiras Nuns Valley – all in the company of our resident guide.
