Why You’ll Love This Holiday

Discover the timeless beauty of Portugal on this delightful holiday by air, based in the elegant seaside resort of Cascais.

 

Once a sleepy fishing village, Cascais became the fashionable summer retreat of Lisbon’s elite after King Luís I famously bathed here in 1870. Today, its golden bays, attractive marina, charming old town and relaxed coastal atmosphere make it a wonderful base for a sunshine escape.

 

During your stay, enjoy a guided excursion to Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant capital city, set across seven hills beside the River Tagus. With historic streets, iconic trams, elegant squares and grand architecture, Lisbon is full of colour, culture and atmosphere.

 

We also include a full-day guided visit to Óbidos and Sintra. Óbidos is one of Portugal’s prettiest medieval towns, with cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and ancient castle walls, while Sintra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for romantic architecture, historic charm and a truly magical setting.

 

A visit to Queluz Palace and Gardens adds another elegant highlight, offering a glimpse into Portugal’s royal heritage through graceful architecture and beautifully designed gardens.

 

With Door to Door home pick up, return flights from Manchester, airport transfers, guided excursions and time to relax in Cascais, this holiday perfectly blends sightseeing, culture and leisure.
