All’arrivo all’aeroporto di Lisbona (si prega di fornire i dettagli del volo), sarete accolti dal vostro autista privato e godrete di un trasferimento privato al vostro hotel. Il resto della giornata è a vostra disposizi

Al mattino, la guida privata e l’autista vi incontreranno in hotel per accompagnarvi in un tour di un’intera giornata di Lisbona.

Il quartiere di Belém è il punto di partenza e inizierete il vostro tour con una visita alla Torre di Belém, che originariamente si trovava al centro del fiume Tago, ma che ora è appena fuori dalla sua riva. Per secoli, gli esploratori portoghesi sono partiti da questa fortezza del XVI secolo alla ricerca delle ricchezze del nuovo mondo.

Visiterete anche il Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, un monastero incomparabile che incarna lo stile manuelino, una forma di architettura altamente decorativa emersa durante il regno di Manuele I (1495-1521). Questo ambizioso edificio riflette la fiducia di cui godeva il Portogallo quando i suoi esploratori vagavano per i mari, ed è classificato come Patrimonio dell’Umanità dell’UNESCO. Uno dei più grandi navigatori, Vasco de Gama, è sepolto nella chiesa del monastero. Vi consigliamo di fermarvi a mangiare i pastéis de Belém, pasticcini incredibilmente gustosi ripieni di crema che prendono il nome dal quartiere.

Dopo il pranzo (libero), visiterete il centro storico di Lisbona, costituito da alcuni dei quartieri più affascinanti d’Europa, ognuno diverso dall’altro e pronto a svelare i suoi segreti a chi ha un forte senso di curiosità. Scoprirete gli antichi quartieri di Alfama, l’anima inconfondibile della capitale, impreziosita da vicoli tortuosi, chiese simbolo nascoste, viste mozzafiato sul fiume Tago e dalla musica Fado come colonna sonora. È inoltre possibile visitare il Castello di San Giorgio, situato in uno dei punti più alti della città.

Ammirate una delle migliori viste su Lisbona, mentre ripercorrete la storia di questa antica città e la sua cultura nautica, mentre ammirate la vista perfetta delle serpentine alberate, dei tetti di senape e dei meandri del fiume.

Prima di concludere il tour, la guida vi condurrà lungo il fiume Tago, facendo una sosta alla Sé Catedral, il centro religioso del Portogallo dal 1147. Il fatto che sia ancora in piedi oggi è una testimonianza della forza degli abitanti di questa regione, che riconquistarono il territorio dai Mori e fecero costruire la chiesa come monumento alla loro liberazione. Continuate a percorrere le strade del centro storico fino a raggiungere la monumentale Praça do Comércio, una delle più grandi piazze aperte d’Europa. Avrete il fiume ai vostri piedi e il maestoso arco di Rua Augusta alle vostre spalle.

Al termine del tour, l’autista vi riporterà in albergo.

Oggi incontrerete la vostra guida privata e l’autista per un tour di un’intera giornata a Sintra, Cabo da Roca e Cascais.

A Sintra, patrimonio mondiale dell’UNESCO, visiterete Quinta da Regaleira. Costruita tra il 1904 e il 1910, negli ultimi giorni della monarchia portoghese, questa romantica proprietà, un tempo appartenente alla Viscondessa da Regaleira, fu acquistata e ampliata da António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) come sua tenuta di campagna preferita. La sua vasta fortuna gli valse il soprannome di Monteiro dos Milhões (Monteiro dei soldi). Egli commissionò questo progetto unico di casa e paesaggio allo scenografo e architetto italiano Luigi Manini (1848-1936), il cui genio, insieme alla maestria di scultori, scalpellini e artigiani che avevano già costruito il Palace Hotel do Buçaco, ha creato questo luogo magico. Quinta de Regaleira presenta stili Art Nouveau e Rococò, oltre a una “sala di iniziazione” ispirata ai massoni.

Sulla via del ritorno a Lisbona, percorrerete la strada costiera da cui potrete godere di splendide viste sull’Oceano Atlantico e sul fiume Tago. Potreste fermarvi a Cabo da Roca, dove si trova il punto più occidentale del continente europeo, con impressionanti scogliere e viste sull’oceano.

Farete una breve sosta a Cascais, una località balneare che è un popolare rifugio estivo per i lisboneti. Al termine del tour, l’autista vi accompagnerà in hotel.

Questa mattina incontrerete il vostro autista privato che vi condurrà a Porto.

Durante il tragitto, vi fermerete a Coimbra (a circa 2 ore da Lisbona) e incontrerete la vostra guida privata. Potrete iniziare il vostro tour visitando l’Università di Coimbra, la sesta più antica d’Europa. Fu fondata nel 1288 a Lisbona e poi trasferita a Coimbra nel 1308. Passeggerete nella parte vecchia dell’Università, dove potrete ammirare l’imponente orologio del XVIII secolo, che domina l’orizzonte. Ma il fiore all’occhiello è la straordinaria biblioteca Joanina, costruita come un parallelepipedo in altezza, per superare il dislivello.

In seguito, proseguite per Porto, dove farete il check-in nel vostro hotel (circa 1h20m da Coimbra).

Questa mattina incontrerete la vostra guida privata e l’autista per una visita di un’intera giornata a Porto.

Inizierete esplorando il quartiere vecchio della città, “un capolavoro del genio creativo dell’umanità” secondo l’UNESCO, che ha riconosciuto l’area come Patrimonio dell’Umanità”.

Sulle rive del fiume Douro, potrete visitare le chiese e i monumenti della città. Si visiterà il Palazzo della Borsa o Palácio da Bolsa. Questo grande e decorato edificio neoclassico costruito nel XIX secolo riflette lo status di importante centro commerciale della città. Da non perdere la Sala delle Nazioni e la Sala Araba, tra le tante.

Un’altra tappa obbligata è l’imponente libreria neogotica Lello & Irmao. Non dimenticate di ammirare l’affascinante ingresso della libreria del XIX secolo: la magnifica facciata è formata da un ampio arco con due figure dipinte che rappresentano l’Arte e la Scienza.

Per una vista panoramica di Porto, potete salire i ripidi gradini della Torre de Clérigos. Questa struttura di 250 metri funge da campanile della chiesa barocca Igreja dos Clérigos.

Potrete anche visitare la Fundação de Serralves, situata alla periferia della città. Il museo di questa fondazione espone opere di artisti contemporanei come Richard Serra, Ed Ruscha e Gerhard Richter. Il museo è stato progettato dall’architetto portoghese Álvaro Siza Vieira, vincitore del premio Pritzker. Un’attrazione per gli amanti dell’arte.

Al termine della visita, l’autista privato vi riaccompagnerà in hotel.

Dopo la colazione vi dirigerete verso la Valle del Douro (01h45m) con la vostra guida privata e l’autista.

Con un paesaggio eccezionalmente bello, fatto di vigneti terrazzati sulle colline, macchie di boschi e piccoli villaggi affascinanti, questa è la patria del Porto, famoso in tutto il mondo. Oltre a questo nettare, questa è una delle regioni vinicole più singolari del Portogallo, con molti segreti ancora da scoprire. Il fiume Douro attraversa la più antica regione di demarcazione delle aziende vinicole del mondo, la Regione del Douro, risalente al 1756, istituita dal Marchese di Pombal. Le tradizioni secolari della cultura del vino, dell’olivo e del mandorlo e il lavoro svolto dall’uomo nella costruzione di migliaia di chilometri di muri di scisto, lungo le pendici del fiume, hanno creato un paesaggio di eccezionale bellezza.

Per questa autenticità e integrità del paesaggio culturale, nel 2011 l’UNESCO ha proposto la Regione vinicola dell’Alto Douro come Patrimonio dell’Umanità.

All’arrivo al villaggio di Pinhão, vi imbarcherete su una barca tradizionale Rabelo. Questa tipica imbarcazione in legno è stata utilizzata per anni per trasportare le botti di vino Porto dal Douro a Vila Nova de Gaia. In questa crociera privata, scoprirete la Valle dal fiume, degustando un po’ di vino Porto.

Attraccherete a Ferrão e sarete accompagnati in jeep alla cantina Quinta Nova Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Con una storia lunga più di 250 anni, questa splendida tenuta vinicola è di proprietà di una famiglia con un lungo legame con le case di esportazione di Vila Nova de Gaia nel settore del sughero. Sarete accompagnati in una visita privata della tenuta dove potrete visitare la cantina, risalente al 1764, l’Atelier del vino, la sala delle botti e la cantina sotterranea dove vengono invecchiati i migliori lotti selezionati dalla famiglia Amorim.

In seguito, potrete partecipare a una degustazione in cui potrete assaggiare i caratteristici vini del Douro e del Porto. Un’esperienza indimenticabile per ogni amante del vino!

Poi è il momento del pranzo. Lo chef predilige il “cibo locale” e ogni giorno sorprende i suoi ospiti con un menu diverso, quindi preparatevi a rimanere stupiti perché il vostro pasto sarà creato per essere degustato in perfetta armonia con i vini dello Stato.

Dopo il pasto, potrete rilassarvi o fare una piacevole passeggiata lungo il sentiero dei vini della tenuta. Quando sarete pronti, il vostro autista vi riporterà a Porto.

Oggi, dopo il check-out dall’hotel, sarete accolti dall’autista della vostra guida privata che vi condurrà a Lisbona (circa 3h00m di guida). Effettuate il check-in in hotel e godetevi il resto della giornata a vostro piacimento.

Oggi il vostro autista privato verrà a prendervi in hotel e vi accompagnerà all’aeroporto di Lisbona per il vostro volo di partenza (vi preghiamo di fornire i dati del vostro volo)
