Two Weeks of Slow Travel from Lisbon to Porto
A fourteen-day unhurried route through central Portugal, linking Lisbon and Porto via medieval towns and the countryside.
The idea
Lisbon to Porto takes about three hours on the motorway. Spread over two weeks, the same journey becomes a tour of Portugal's heartland: Sintra, Óbidos, Nazaré, Alcobaça, Batalha, Tomar, Coimbra and Aveiro, each visited without pressure.
The route works because no single driving day needs to be long, and every stop has real substance.
