Lisbon (2N) – Porto (1N) – Coimbra (1N) – Lisbon (1N) · Thursday departures (selected dates)
Tiled facades and trams climbing the hills of Lisbon, port-wine boats on the Douro, Baroque sanctuaries and the canals of Aveiro — this 6 Days Northern Portugal Tour is a compact, rich introduction to Portugal, one of Europe’s friendliest and best-value countries. In six days the guided coach journey links Lisbon, Fátima, Porto and the green north with Coimbra and the medieval towns of the centre. It is planned and supported by IMAD Travel, an IATA-certified travel agency in Hyderabad serving travellers from across India since 2011. If you prefer your own pace, our team can arrange this same route, or a similar one, as a custom package for your family or group, with your own dates and hotels — just quote the tour code IMAD-EU-61637 when you contact us.

Hotels with buffet breakfast, the arrival transfer, the coach with a guide, the Lisbon city tour, the Douro and Aveiro boat rides, the Bom Jesus and Nazaré funiculars, entry to Batalha Monastery, a local sweet tasting and one dinner in Coimbra are arranged before you leave.
Portugal’s capital rises over seven hills beside the wide Tagus estuary, and its soft Atlantic light falls on blue-and-white azulejo tiles, steep alleys and old yellow trams. The sightseeing tour takes you through the historic quarters to Belém, the riverside district from where Vasco da Gama and the great Portuguese navigators sailed in the 15th century — the route that first linked Europe to India by sea. The afternoon is free to climb to the Bairro Alto and its viewpoint, or to take an optional trip to the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra and the seaside towns of Cascais and Estoril. In the evening you return to the hotel from Restauradores Square, full of cafés and bars.
Heading north, the coach stops at Fátima, one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, where a vast esplanade leads to the basilica built after the apparitions of 1917. You continue to Porto, Portugal’s second city, piled up on the steep banks of the Douro. After lunch you board a traditional Rabelo boat — the flat-bottomed boats that once carried port wine down the river — for a 50-minute cruise under Porto’s famous iron bridges (included). Afterwards there is free time in the Ribeira district, a maze of narrow streets, merchant houses and riverside cafés, and a chance to taste port in the cellars across the river.
The fourth day is a journey through the green landscapes of northern Portugal. In Braga, the country’s religious capital with its ancient cathedral, you ride the world’s oldest water-powered funicular up to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus, then walk down its spectacular zig-zag Baroque stairway. In Guimarães, the first capital of Portugal, the Palace of the Dukes and the old castle recall the birth of the nation, and there is time for lunch. Turning to the Atlantic coast you reach Aveiro, the ‘Venice of Portugal’, with its colourful houses and canals, where a ride in a painted Moliceiro boat and a taste of the local sweet, ovos moles, are included. You end the day in Coimbra, with dinner included at the hotel.
On the last full day you explore Coimbra, a hilly university city whose old university is one of the oldest in Europe. Driving south, you visit the Batalha Monastery (entry included), a Gothic masterpiece and resting place of Portuguese kings. Lunch is in Nazaré, a fishing town and beach resort famous for its giant winter waves, where a funicular lifts you to the old town on the cliff for wide ocean views (included). The final stop is Óbidos, a walled village of whitewashed houses and flower-covered lanes, before you reach Lisbon in the evening.
This 6 days tour of Lisbon, Fátima, Porto, Braga, Aveiro and Coimbra suits travellers who want a short, complete first look at Portugal; couples who enjoy riverside evenings, historic towns and good food; Catholic travellers who wish to visit Fátima as part of a wider holiday; and families who prefer a guided coach tour with hotels and visits arranged. It also combines well with a Spain tour or a few extra days on Lisbon’s beaches. For the whole country, including the Algarve and the Alentejo, see our 9 days Portugal tour.
Portugal is pleasant almost all year. April to June and September to October are ideal for sightseeing, with warm days and fewer crowds; July and August are hot and lively, and winter is mild, especially in Lisbon. Portugal is in the Schengen area, so a Schengen visa is needed for Indian passport holders — our visa team prepares the file and books the appointment; start about two to three months before travel.
Breakfast is included every day and dinner once, in Coimbra; other meals are on your own, and Lisbon and Porto have Indian and vegetarian restaurants. Guides on this tour are bilingual, speaking English and Spanish. Lisbon and Porto are very hilly, so comfortable walking shoes are important. International flights to and from Lisbon are booked separately — our team can book them from any Indian city. Prices start from €730 per person (₹80,300 at €1 = ₹110, October 2026) on twin sharing, excluding GST and TCS, and are recalculated for your exact travel dates and season.
For the whole country, see the 9 days Portugal tour with the Algarve, Évora and Fátima. To combine Portugal and Spain, take the 9 days Lisbon, Seville and Madrid tour or the 13 days tour from Lisbon to Paris with Spain and Switzerland. For walkers, there is the Camino Portugués walking package. See every route on our Europe tour packages from India page.
