Lisbon already introduces you to the Portuguese way of life, but outside the city you can also enjoy a delicious portion of Portuguese culture and history. With this day trip an experienced local English-speaking guide will show you the most beautiful villages and towns around Lisbon. The tour includes transportation in a modern minivan (pick up an drop off from your hotel included).
You start the day enjoying the green hills west of Lisbon. Here you will visit Óbidos, a medieval village famous for its cobbled streets, white houses and 12th century castle. Take this opportunity to taste the famous cherry liqueur.
In the picturesque fishing village of Nazaré, directly on the Atlantic Ocean, you will enjoy a nice traditional Portugese lunch (to be paid on site at your own expense). After lunch you will visit the monastery of Batalha, beautifully built in Portuguese late Gothic style. It will come as no surprise that this monastery is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Finally, you will visit Fátima, one of the largest Roman Catholic places of pilgrimage in the world, where millions of pilgrims come every year. During the whole day the guide will tell you more about the history and culture of the places and villages you visit. At the end of the day you'll be dropped off at your hotel/accommodation in Lisbon.
