I’m taking a 14 day trip to Portugal but about 3 days get a bit lost in travel so I have about 11 full days. I want to visit porto, Lisbon, and algarve but not sure if i should eliminate one and focus more on others for more quality time. I also considered staying 1 night in sintra to be able to explore at a slower pace.

Here is my tentative plan but again not sure if i should cut one region out:

I really wanted to see Evora and Obidos as well but i just don’t see a way of doing it where it won’t eat up time in another place.

Here’s my tentative plan:

Sept 10: arrive 10am FAO airport (15 hr journey from the US), pick up rental car, get a day use hotel if possible, sleep wake up 2pm get ready, walk around, sunset acitiviy walk/viewpoint then dinner

Sept 11: algarve, Kayak Ponta da Piedade

Sept 12: algarve, (kayak benagil caves , go to Praia da Marinha , then hike seven hanging valleys trail)

Sept 13: algarve (explore more beaches, visit tavira)

Sept 14: return car, travel to lisbon via bus or train. If in lisbon early enough do a sunset river tour

Sept 15: Lisbon (tuk tuk food tour), fado dinner later?

Seot 16: lisbon

Sept 17: sintra day trip

Seopt 18: travel to porto from Lisbon

Sept 19: porto

Sept 20: porto

Sept 21: duoro valley day trip/tour

Sept 22: flight to US from porto airport

Does this seem like a good plan? Or is there anything i should cut out or add?

I haven’t booked flights yet so i can definitely do it differently (RT lisbon or porto, fly into Lisbon out of Porto, or into FAO and out of Lisbon, etc)

Open to any suggestions, thank you!

Hello! I’m planning a trip to Portugal in September. I’ve been racking my brain on how to spend my time without rushing around too much and enjoying each city.

I was to visit Algarve region, Lisbon, and porto (with day trips to sintra and duoro valley)
