8.Lisbon Day Trip from the Algarve

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 46 reviews · 12 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $79Best value

Travel from the Algarve to Lisbon by air-conditioned coach, with hotel pickup, a guide, and stops in Belém and central Lisbon. See Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, Rossio Square, Alfama, and the 25 de Abril Bridge, then enjoy several hours to explore independently. Guides may include Ana or Rosa.

“I love that there were pick up points close to most hotels in the region. The tour operator was helpful in asking for my hotel. The trip was really nice, with Ana giving context about the different areas of the country as we progressed on the journey. While I appreciate there was a stop for comfort breaks, I wish there was a toilet on the large coach. Most coaches that size tend to come with a toilet. Information was announced in Portuguese, German and English, which is great. At times, I felt like I was lost amidst the switches. A long day no doubt, but well worth it.”
