What better way to immerse yourself in Portugal’s past than by staying in historically fascinating Pousadas? From what was once a formidable castle to a former medieval hospital, your accommodation will tell each area’s story better than any guide! Take a city tour of hilly Lisbon, traversed by wonderfully vintage trams, and enjoy a visit to the Ducal Palace of Guimarães, long associated with the forging of Portugal’s identity. Consider taking an optional excursion to see Oporto’s port cellars – followed by a tasting or two – or from Alcácer do Sol you may choose to take a tour of Evora, wrapped up within 14th-century walls.
