About this experience
Instead of traveling directly from Lisbon to Porto via the coastal highway, turn your journey into a memorable experience with carefully chosen stops along Portugal’s central coast. Along the way, you will visit Óbidos, a beautifully preserved medieval and fortified town, continue to Nazare, famous for its fishing traditions and world-class surfing culture, and finish in Aveiro, known for its canals, colorful boats, and authentic local atmosphere.
In just one day and one seamless route, you’ll gain a true snapshot of Portugal — from centuries of history to modern coastal life and surf culture. This experience also offers a delicious introduction to Portuguese gastronomy, with opportunities to taste chocolate in Óbidos, fresh seafood in Nazaré, and the iconic Aveiro egg pastry (ovos moles). Throughout the journey, we’ll be happy to share local insights, history, and legends, helping you better understand the places, people, and traditions that make Portugal so special.
