DAY 1 — Lisbon, Portugal

Welcome to the Land of Discoverers

Your journey begins in Lisbon, one of Europe’s most atmospheric capitals. Upon arrival, you are welcomed and transferred to your centrally located hotel. After time to settle in, we take a gentle orientation walk through the historic Alfama district, where narrow streets, tiled facades and the sound of distant music introduce you to the soul of Portugal.

We visit the Church of St. Anthony, built on the birthplace of the beloved saint, before gathering in the evening for a traditional welcome dinner accompanied by live Fado music — a deeply emotional introduction to the spirit of this land.
