Suggested trip lengths and day groupings below are our editorial starting points. Your personalized plan will depend on your interests, pace, and dates.
Allow seven to ten days for Lisbon and Porto with a selected intermediate stop. The Algarve, Madeira, or the Azores each benefit from their own stay.
Build a mainland route around the places you most want to explore. Island destinations require flights and should not appear as quick mainland day trips.
Central Lisbon and Porto bases suit urban exploration, but check hills and luggage access. Choose a coastal or island base according to the actual outings, not just the airport.
Leave flexible time for ocean-dependent trips. Compare a city food walk, a wine-region excursion, and a coastal day for variety; several nearly identical sightseeing tours add little to the route.
Browse these experiences as a starting point. The planner considers your interests, pace, and published schedules when building your days.
