Itinerary
- Day 1 - Depart the U.S. for Lisbon, Portugal.
- Day 2 - Lisbon: Upon arrival in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, proceed to baggage claim and after clearing customs you will be met by the Club ABC Tours representative. Transfer to your hotel. Situated on the Tagus River, the legendary port city of Lisbon is a fascinating place to visit; a place where the weather and natives always seem to be friendly. Portugal's first city is built on the terraced sides of low, steep hills overlooking the harbor with wide tree-lined avenues, large public gardens and handsome squares. Spend the remainder of today at leisure to get acquainted with the city.
- Day 3 - Lisbon: After breakfast, take a half-day panoramic city tour of Lisbon, which includes a stop at St. George Castle to view the old quarters. Continue on to Alfama for a wine tasting. The narrow crooked Alfama quarter survived the terrible earthquakes of the eighteenth century, so visitors can now step back in time and experience the cobbled lanes and flea markets of this traditional fishing community. Then drive along the Tagus River with stops at the Belem Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. Finish the tour with a visit to Jeronimo's Monastery church, a marvel of stone lacework. (Breakfast)
- Days 4 & 5 - Lisbon: The next two days are at leisure to explore Lisbon's cultural treasures on your own or take optional tours offered by Club ABC Tours to the surrounding areas. The outstanding Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, Portugal's showpiece museum features one of the finest collections of ancient world and European artifacts. Its fine collection of paintings includes works by Rubens, Rembrandt and Ghirlandaio's not-to-be-missed "Portrait of a Young Woman". Another popular attraction is the Museu Nacional dos Coches (The National Coach Museum) with a large display of opulent coaches built for the aristocracy, dating mostly from the 17th to the 19th century. Other options include a full-day Lisbon and Costa excursion or enjoy the Lisbon by night program, which includes dinner and a "Fado" folk dance experience. Your Club ABC representative will provide you with information on arranging optional tours during your stay. A daily buffet breakfast is included at your hotel. Other meals are on your own. (Breakfast)
- Day 6 - Lisbon/U.S.: Transfer to the airport for your return flight home. (Breakfast)
