Holiday information

 

Lisbon

Of all Europe’s capitals, none perhaps has the simple charm of Lisbon, where even in the main square you can find traditional shops unchanged for decades. Indeed, Lisbon doesn’t feel like a capital at all, but rather a collection of distinct districts, linked by trams which trundle along the steep streets – this is the City of the Seven Hills!
A good place to start is the Baixa, the heart of the city, with its grid of Neo-classical streets. Funiculars take you up to the Barrio Alto, its narrow lanes hiding fado bars and two fascinating churches, and Chiado, an area of marble-fronted boutiques and tearooms. Step back further in time on entering Alfama, whose jumble of tightly packed, whitewashed houses cascade down the hillside from the sprawling castle.

Sightseeing

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • An introduction
    Sitting majestically at the mouth of the mighty River Tagus, Lisbon boasts some remarkable monumental architecture from the Golden Age. The sights range from the grid-patterned streets of the Baixa district, to the sprawling ruins of the hill-top castle, and from the extraordinary aquarium to the cast-iron latticework of the Elevador de Santa Justa, a lift designed by an engineer who studied under Gustave Eiffel.

    Please note that museums are usually closed on Mondays.
  • Notes for four self-guided walking tours included
    We provide notes for not one, but four, self-guided walking tours. One winds through the heart of the city, taking in the castle and the cathedral, while another explores the western waterfront (Belém), including the Museum of Ancient Art, which traces the development of Portuguese art through the centuries.

    As you wander, you’ll learn about the characters who have been honoured with statues or whose names have been given to streets; the history that has shaped the districts you wander through; the influential figures who frequented the tiled coffee shops and bars that you pass; and much more – our notes provide all the information you’d expect on a guided tour, with the advantage that you can explore at your own pace and detour as and when you wish.
 

Accommodation

We offer a choice of three hotels, all ideally located for exploring the city. Please state your preference when booking.

We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

    A wonderful stay arranged by Inntravel. The hotel and walks were excellent, as well as the recommendations of where to eat. A lovely hotel in a charming city - would definitely visit again.

    [Palaces and Pathways of Sintra was] Our second holiday with Inntravel and again we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great hotels, lovely varied walks and excellent descriptions. May was a great time to see this area as there was an abundance of wild flowers and butterflies. The Lisbon City add on was well worthwhile and we also enjoyed an extra night in Cascais. There was a daily walking tour of Cascais from the railway station at 10.30 and plenty of shops/seafront/harbour to fill the rest of a day. Thanks again to all the staff at Inntravel for putting together such a memorable holiday.

    The Rota Vicentina was absolutely stunning. Dramatic cliffs, seastacks, sandy beaches, rocky coves, wildflowers and nesting storks - it had it all! At times it was like walking through a huge rock garden, there were so many flowers. We had a few days rain, (including some very heavy rain one day) but the walk was still beautiful on the rainy days. The walk accommodation was excellent - they were all very different, but each was characterful, comfortable and welcoming.

    I would highly recommend the Hotel Solar do Castelo in Lisbon - a beautiful hotel in a perfect location with lovely staff and an excellent breakfast (also tea, coffee and cake available all day free of charge!) We had an amazing dinner at Chapito - exceptional food, service and beautful views. We also appreciated the tip about booking dinner in the castle restaurant and being able to explore the castle first, without entry charge - food here was good but not exceptional, but the view across the city was lovely. We also enjoyed the hop on/off boat trip between the city centre, MAAT and Belem - good value and a lovely way to see the city from the water.

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our walk Along the Costa Vicentina with our Lisbon city add-on

    We had a good few days across New Year. The Britania Hotel is a history story in itself. Lisbon was busy, but using a mixture of Metro, trams, ferries and walking, the city gives itself up to you. Fine weather helped. So many restaurants of all shapes and sizes, easy to get dinner out at very reasonable costs, without booking. Metro to Baixa-Chiado, and somewhere is bound to take your fancy in 10 minutes or less. Met helpful and friendly people. Fresh hot chestnuts from street sellers are great. Simple to use multiple use transport tickets. Highly recommended vibrant European city destination. Lots of history, sights and sounds.

    This was a memorable holiday, full of highlights. We would thoroughly recommend it, including the Lisbon add,on to anyone.

    Another excellent Inntravel holiday. This was our first trip to Portugal and we would definitely return. Highlights were definitely the Hotel Britannia in Lisbon (beautiful hotel and great service) and Colina Flora in Pe De Serra. James and Aasta were amazing hosts and their guesthouse is a haven of peace and calm. James was excellent at recommending restaurants in the area and will drop you off and pick you up.  We would particularly recommend Sisudo in Almocageme. We enjoyed our time in Sintra and the evenings were particularly nice when the crowds were gone. We would recommend the restaurant Incomum which is not far from the station.  

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers added on a 2-night stay in Lisbon at the Hotel Britania, before doing the Palaces & Pathways of Sintra walking holiday.

    We especially loved the walking along the coastline (once we got past Guincho Beach) and in the amazing forests. The palaces were spectacular, and while a couple were a bit crowded, it wasn't oppressive. Lots of steep walking, but worth every step! We loved our holiday and can't wait the chance to do another Inntravel walking holiday. We recommend your company frequently. Thank you!

    We were a group of six friends in our 60s and we all thoroughly enjoyed the walk and all the accommodation provided.  The scenery is absolutely stunning and the walking paths and information are all easy to follow.  We were enchanted by the Portuguese who were all, without exception, very hospitable, kind and helpful.  Most of the staff spoke very good English. All the hotels were of a good standard but the Casa do Visconde de Chanceleiros is a gem. In every hotel the breakfasts were excellent, with a good choice and a hot option cooked to order. We would definitely recommend the 'Valley of Gold' to anyone interested in seeing this area of Portugal. We also really enjoyed Porto, which is a fascinating city and we should probably have had an extra day there.  We also added a three-night stay in Lisbon on to our trip and again that was a wonderful city, full of history and a great soul.

    This was our first experience of arranging travel through Inntravel and our first organised walking holiday.  Inntravel's arrangements, the documentation provided and accommodation options all exceeded our expectations. We were able to see more and do more than we could possibly have arranged by ourselves while the 'insider' tips on things to see and do and places to eat (partly provided by other Inntravel clients) were an added bonus.  An unexpected pleasure was criss-crossing paths (at overnight accommodation) with other Inntravel clients and sharing stories with them. We are already thinking about 'where next with Inntravel?'  Our number one tip for other guests is to follow the "side-bar" recommendations from other Inntravel travellers around extra nights or add-ons; these are always very good advice.
