Modéré

Mostly walking in old towns on hills and cobbles: about 6 to 10 km a day on the city days, with stairs and slopes in Alfama, Sintra and Porto. Our vehicle drops the group at the top of the steepest hills so most old quarters are walked downhill, and any demanding stretch can be sat out or swapped for a ride.

Arrive in Lisbon

Lisbon Airport to your hotel in central Lisbon

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Lisbon
  • Environ 30 min de route

Fly into Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), about 7 km north of the centre, where a driver meets you in the arrivals hall, whatever time you land, for the short ride to your hotel in the middle of the city.

Après-midi

Check-in is from mid-afternoon; if your room is not ready, leave your bags and sit in a café nearby, or simply rest. Nothing is planned until 6:30 pm, so take a nap and a shower after the flight. Your See Sight Tours guide then meets the group over a drink at the hotel. She introduces everyone and gives an honest briefing: how the days are paced, which mornings start early, how slippery the polished limestone paving is in the wet, pickpockets on the trams, taxis and ride apps, and walking back after dark.

Soir

Dinner is together at about 7:30 pm in a quiet restaurant a short walk from the hotel, and you can be in bed early. Plan to land by mid-afternoon if you can.

Faune et météo : Summer brings heat over 40°C in the Douro and crowds in Lisbon and Sintra, so we start early and rest at midday. Spring is green and mild, the Douro harvest runs from about mid-September to early October, and winter is mild but wetter, with shorter days and fewer boat sailings.

Questions

Who can join a women-only trip to Portugal?

Anyone who identifies as a woman and is 18 or over. The group is women only and is led by a woman See Sight Tours guide. Drivers, boat crews, hotel staff and some site guides will often be men, and we say so plainly rather than promise otherwise.

What does the women-only Portugal trip include?

Eight nights in central hotels, breakfast daily, seven lunches including a home-cooked lunch in Porto and a quinta lunch, three dinners including fado in Mouraria, airport transfers at both ends, a private vehicle and driver, a woman See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every entry in the day plan, from Pena Palace and the Paula Rego museum to the port tasting and the Douro boat.

I am travelling alone. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want a room of your own. Tell us when you request to book and we pair you with another woman in the group at no extra cost. A room of your own is from CAD 885 more. If no roommate is found, we tell you before you pay anything.

Is Portugal safe for women travellers?

For most women, yes: Lisbon and Porto are generally relaxed cities to walk, day and evening, in the central districts. The usual problems are pickpockets on trams and at viewpoints, and quiet street offers of drugs in the Baixa. Your guide briefs the group on the first evening, and we walk to the fado dinner together.

What should I wear in Portugal?

What you would wear in any western European city. In churches, covered shoulders and no beachwear is polite, so carry a light scarf. The thing that matters most is shoes with good grip: Lisbon's and Porto's polished limestone and granite paving is slippery, especially when wet.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 women. Everyone fits in one vehicle, around one table at the fado dinner and in a Porto home cook's kitchen, and personal earpieces mean you can hear the guide in busy places such as Sintra and Alfama.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. Expect 6 to 10 km a day on hills, stairs and cobbles. Our vehicle drops us at the top of the steepest hills so most walks run downhill, and on the demanding days you can ride instead of walking or wait in a café.

When is the best time to go?

March to June and September to October. Spring is green and mild, and the Douro harvest runs from about mid-September to early October. July and August are hot, over 40°C in the Douro, and busy in Lisbon and Sintra. Winter is mild but wetter, with fewer boat sailings.

Do I need a visa for Portugal?

Canadian, US, UK and Australian citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180 in the Schengen area. Your fingerprints and photo are recorded at the border under the EU's Entry/Exit System, and we tell you when you book if the new ETIAS authorisation applies.

Are the women-run visits guaranteed?

No, and we say so up front. The Porto home cook and a quinta run by women are booked only where we confirm a host who wants visitors on your dates. If one is not confirmed, you get a cooking lunch in a small school run by a local woman and a family quinta lunch instead, with nothing removed from the price.

How much does it cost and how do I book?

The small group starts from CAD 5,430 per person sharing, taxes included, and a room of your own is from CAD 885 more. Send your preferred dates as an enquiry. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The trip runs as a private trip for your party only, with your own guide and vehicle, on a date you choose, from CAD 9,775; that also suits a party with partners or men. To travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section for a quote.
