Alentejo Countryside to the Atlantic Coast
Quiet beaches, refreshing sea breezes and sun-drenched landscapes. Portugal is the place to have an adventure beyond the crowds. Bike past hillsides and vineyards. Hike along wild coastline. Surf rolling waves into the shore. Kayak through turquoise waters. Wander to small towns filled with artists and farmers. And always indulge in the fresh catch of the day.
Highlights
- Hike amid lost-in-time landscapes and wander World Heritage towns in the Alentejo, Portugal’s enchanting agricultural heart
- Bike the emerald shrub-blanketed hills of Setúbal and take in pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming views of the Atlantic
- Immerse yourself in the charms of Portugal’s central coast—paddle peaceful lagoons, meet surfers and sip local wines on a sandy beach at sunset
- Extend your vacation in the chic gateway city of Lisbon, home to elegant boulevards, tiny cobblestone streets and knock-out shopping and dining

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
The slower pace, relaxed approach to life and old-world qualities in Portugal are some of the highlights of this spectacular region and are reflected in the hotels and restaurants on this trip. That said, service can lack a sense of urgency when compared with the service found in other parts of Europe. Additionally, while the Premiere hotels we've chosen are some of the finest in the country, they may seem a bit simpler than the Backroads European standard. The same can be said for Portuguese cuisine, which is traditionally a celebration of local flavors but is also bit more rustic than other places we visit in Europe.
Due to variable ocean tides and weather conditions, the day and time of activities may vary somewhat by departure. Rarely, an activity may be canceled because of bad weather and/or conditions. If this is the case, your leaders will have alternative options planned.
