15 Porto Day Trips from Lisbon to Plan a Morning Around

1.Three Cities in One Day: Porto, Nazare and Obidos from Lisbon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,572 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $133Our pick

Leave central Lisbon at 8:00 am by air-conditioned minibus for Óbidos, Nazaré and Porto. You’ll get a short visit in each smaller town, lunch time and a guided walk through Porto’s old center. Guides such as Ricardo, Francisco and John have led trips, though names are not guaranteed. Expect a packed schedule and several hours on the road.

“Nice tour of 3 cities. The tour guide was very professional, personable, and made every effort to ensure he addressed any questions we had Nazareth and Obidos are small city/village 45 minute stops for us to self explore. City of Porto included a one hour self selection for lunch, and then a 90 minute guided tour. The only negative deals with the tour operator. There were about 18-19 English speakers and 3-4 Portugese speaking people. This resulted in delays during yhe tour due to the guide speaking in English, and then saying the same thing in Potugese. Normally tours are done in one language to avoid these delays.”

It was the trip to Porto with two stops in between (Óbidos and Nazaré). I didn’t take too long in those places because I had already gone a trip to there. The city was nice with not too much uphill walking. We got to see the two bridges and the Douro river with the boats going across. Pedro also made sure to point out just before we got to the city, the Atlantic Ocean and the city itself. I tried the pastel da nata at one of…”
