Detailed Description

Lisbon is great for senior travelers because it is such an immersive travel destination. History and culture is not something to read about in a museum. Rather, it is something to live out along cobblestone streets. Lisbon is a city that holds many secrets, reserving its best for those who are willing to look beyond the standard route. Exceptional food and wine are part of the everyday schedule, especially when local guides know where to take you. With a full week, you can really uncover Lisbon’s style and highlights.

This one-week Lisbon itinerary is handcrafted for senior travelers with a leisurely pace and minimal walking. Private guides will lead your journey each day. All of them are specialists, so somebody who loves Byron will guide you in Sintra, and a local chef will show you the city’s food scene. From Muscat wine to Portuguese fishing villages, easy day trips will reveal more of the country. Over seven days, you will feel completely immersed in Lisbon’s atmosphere. You will find a city that is safe and easy to maneuver that loves it when visitors seek to look a little beyond the tourist track.

After landing in Lisbon, the first day will be at your leisure before an evening of fado music in the neighborhood in which it originated. You will spend day two with Byron and the Moors in Sintra before enjoying the leisurely tones of Cascais. A historical tour will have you exploring Belem and Baixa on day three. Day four will be very relaxed and will include a leisurely trip to Setubal and the home of Muscat. Here, you can meet with winemakers and explore the distinctive dessert wine. Obidos, Nazare, and tradition dining at a Portuguese fishing village are just a few of the immersive highlights of day five. Then, food will carry you away and complete your one week in Lisbon. Food is just one of the many reasons that you will want to return to this wonderful city.
