A day trip in Portugal means leaving Lisbon in the morning and returning the same evening. Portugal is compact, so several of its best-known places sit within a comfortable drive of the capital.
Each of our day trips is private: the vehicle and the guide are reserved for your group alone, so the itinerary, the stops and the pace are yours to decide.
Day trips available from Lisbon
Sintra and Cascais
Palaces, gardens, the Atlantic coast and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.
Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos
A Marian sanctuary, the viewpoint over the Nazaré canyon and a walled medieval village.

How far can you go in one day from Lisbon
Sintra is about 30 km from Lisbon, Cascais around 30 km, Óbidos roughly 85 km, Nazaré about 120 km, Évora around 130 km and Porto approximately 310 km. Sintra, Cascais, Óbidos, Fátima and Évora all work comfortably as a day trip; Porto is a long day and is usually combined with an overnight stay or a transfer.
What a private day trip includes
The vehicle, the driver-guide, hotel pick-up in Lisbon, fuel, tolls and parking are included. Tickets, meals and tastings are included only where the tour page says so.
Day trips normally run between 8 and 12 hours, depending on the destination and the number of stops.
