LISBON, PORTUGAL Arrive: 0800 Friday, 27 September
Onboard: 1800 Saturday, 28 September
Brief Overview: During the Age of
Discovery, the Portuguese people took to
the sea and colonized much of Africa and
South America between 1325 and 1700.
The country’s rugged coastline, scenic
views, and city monuments remind
visitors of this nautical heritage. The
maze-like narrow streets and alleys of
the Alfama area of Lisbon provide the
perfect place for a cultural Scavenger
Hunt that leads to the discovery of many
amazing sights, including the Jeronimos
Monastery in Belem. Visitors to Lisbon
will quickly notice that the Portuguese
“canvas” of choice for centuries has
been tile painting. Beautiful murals adorn
the sides of common buildings,
churches, and museums alike. The traditional music of Fado can be heard and enjoyed nightly in restaurants and
clubs. Nature lovers will enjoy a peaceful yoga and surf retreat, exploring the lush gardens at Nation’s Park, and the
very modern Oceanarium.
Out of town: Marrao and Portalegre offer a cool, relaxing alternative to the hot, crowded, southern beaches of the
Algarve. You may also want to consider the nearby destination of Sintra, a favorite retreat of Lord Byron, and the Palace
of Pena. If you want to go a little deeper into the country’s history, head to Eurora, the haunting chapel of bones, and
Monsaraz, the most charming village in Portugal.

LIS 203-101 COIMBRA, ROMAN RUINS & CONIMBRIGA & BUCACO 2 days/1 night
The Roman Ruins of Conimbriga, situated on a triangular spur and bordered by
two deep and narrow valleys, are among the finest in the Iberian Peninsula. A
Celtic city stood on this spot as long ago as the Iron Age. The present ruins,
however, are those of a Roman town situated on either side of an important road
which connected Lisbon and Braga; it was founded in the first century and
remained prosperous over a long period. Buçaco National Park is the country’s
most revered woodland and
the site of Napoleon’s first
significant defeat during the
Peninsular War. Over 700
species of trees, many of
them introduced from other
countries, flourish through
the forest. The royal palace
stands in the heart of the
forest, now a hotel and
summer retreat for royalty.
ITINERARY
Day 1: (L, D) Drive by air-conditioned motorcoach to Coimbra to visit the city and local university. Enjoy lunch at a local
restaurant and then proceed to Buçaco National Park, crowning the northernmost peak of the Serra do Bussaco. In the
majestic forest stands the royal palace of Buçaco built in the 19th century. Milestones and memorials of the victory won over
the Napoleonic army are the Obelisk and Military Museum. (L, D; Hotel in Coimbra)
Day 2: (B, L) After breakfast at the hotel, drive to Conimbriga to explore the Roman ruins. Proceed to Nazaré for lunch at a local
restaurant. Travel to Sitio, a belvedere built on the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea from a height of 361 feet and offering a
fine view of the lower town and the beach. Continue to Óbidos, completely enclosed by lofty medieval walls. This is a small
town with whitewashed houses brightened by colorful bougainvillea flowers. The massively towered castle has been converted
into an elegant pousada (“great escape”). In the mid-afternoon, depart for the return journey to Lisbon.
Please note: Extensive amount of walking at National Park of Bussaco. Comfortable shoes and clothing suggested.

LIS 102-101 ALCOBACA, BATLHA & FATIMA Full Day
En route to Alcobaça, you’ll see the outlying
areas of Lisbon and hear information on
Portugal’s economy, history, gastronomy, and
traditions applied to the region of Estremadura,
where you’ll find the villages of Alcobaça and
Batalha. You’ll get to know about the Portuguese
Reconquest (1st Dynasty of Portugal) as well as
the meaning of the religious and military Orders
in that Campaign. The Monastery of Santa Maria
de Alcobaça was founded in 1153 by the
Cistercian Order to fulfill a pledge made by King Afonso Henriques, 1st King of
Portugal, when he conquered Santarém from the Moors. This abbey is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, known for its architecture and maintenance. The Gothic
Monastery of Santa Maria da Victoria in Batalha was built in the 14th century to
commemorate the victory of the Battle of Aljubarrota against the Spanish. The monastery contains the most important
collection of medieval stained glass windows (15th century) in Portugal. Next you will drive to Fatima where you will have lunch.
You will visit the village of Fatima, which is the scene of the purported religious sightings in May 1917, when the Virgin Mary
"appeared" before three peasant children. The Virgin Mary asked them to pray for peace in the world and promised to appear
again on the 13th of every month until October. Fatima’s imposing modern basilica and its square (which is larger than St.
Peter’s Square in Vatican City) were a favorite among Summer 2012 visitors.

LIS 103-101 LISBON AND DISCOVERY TOUR Half Day
You will head to the Belém area to visit
the Jeronimos Monastery. This
monument, designed in the Manueline
style, was built in the 16th century, under
the orders of Manuel I, to commemorate
Vasco da Gama's successful return from
India. Just next door is the Maritime
Museum, one of the most important
museums in Europe, which evokes
Portugal's domination of the seas. It houses model ships from the Age of
Discovery to present day. Next, you will stop at the Confeitaria Nacional to taste
the famous Pastel de Belém, and across the street, you will see the Belém Tower
and the Monument of the Discoveries. The Belém Tower was built in 1515 as a
fortress to guard the entrance to Lisbon's harbor. It was the starting point for
many of the voyages of discovery, and was the last sight sailors had of their
homeland. The Monument of the Discoveries was built in 1960 to commemorate
the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator. It represents a
three-sailed ship ready to depart and features sculptures of important historical
figures.

LIS 104-101 ART OF TILES PAINTING Half Day
Many countries display their heritage in
museums. Portugal's national treasures are
colorful, hand-painted tiles – azulejos – that
adorn homes, buildings, palaces, churches,
and even subway stations. Dating from the
15th century, the blue and white or multi-
colored tiles are a storybook of the country’s
artistic provenance from former times to
present day. Enjoy a panoramic drive of
the city center on the way to the Alfama district. Stop at Portas do Sol Belvedere
from where you will view the typical façades of this old part of the city and its
winding lanes and anarchic stairways. Notice the Ricardo Espírito Santo
Foundation, home of the Higher School of Decorative Arts Museum and
the Institute of Arts and Crafts. Guests will get in touch with local art and craft
and see artisans specialized in leather carving, book binding, gold leaf making, antiques, and tile painting. You are invited to
learn how to paint the historic tiles by participating in an unforgettable workshop. There will be time to visit the

an urban music, whose origins are
uncertain but surely involve influences
from Portugal’s overseas explorations.
The tour begins with a panoramic drive to the city center of Alfama, the oldest
quarter of Lisbon, where the best Fado houses are located. Enjoy a brief walk to
Pateo de Alfama, a restaurant full of history and charm. Here you will taste

LIS 300-201 PORTUGAL & SPAIN WORLD HERITAGE SITES 3 Days/2 Nights
Deep in the heart of Portugal lies
a rich blend of Roman and
Moorish culture that transports
visitors back in time to the Middle
Ages. There is a reason that the
UN named all of these locations
World Heritage Sites. The walled
city of Evora contains the bizarre
Ossuary Chapel that is covered
with thousands of human skulls
and bones. Monsaraz, which is
beautifully situated, is an abundantly rich medieval village complete with
cobblestone streets and mysterious alleyways for you to explore. Mértola in pre-
Roman times was already an important commercial hub and is still girded by an
ancient, mile-long wall. Seville, the capital of Andalucia, is one of Spain’s
most beautiful cities. It is widely believed that the city was founded by Iberians,
later becoming a Greek, Phoenician, and finally Roman colony. In Seville, you
will be visiting the 'World Heritage Sites' of the Seville Cathedral and the
Alcázar, the palace, an exceptional testimony to the civilization of the Almohads
as well as that of Christian Andalusia.
