Itinerary

Explore Portugal’s rich history and spiritual heritage on the Portuguese Camino – Lisbon to Coimbra walking tour. This self-guided, 11-day journey is designed for experienced travelers and seniors looking for moderate activity and a meaningful connection to the Camino tradition.

Starting from the vibrant capital of Lisbon, you’ll walk through fertile floodplains, gently rolling terrain, and towns with centuries-old stories—such as the Templar stronghold of Tomar and the Roman ruins of Conimbriga. Your trip culminates in the World Heritage city of Coimbra, renowned for its medieval university and lively atmosphere.

What makes this tour package stand out is its deep dive into the cultural fabric of Portugal, blending scenic countryside walks with visits to historic sites and towns that have shaped the Camino’s legacy. Each evening, local accommodations provide a comfortable and authentic base from which to reflect on the day’s discoveries.

For those who appreciate a blend of history, spiritual exploration, and scenic walking, this trip offers a rewarding introduction to the famed pilgrimage route.

day 1Arrive Lisbon

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and one of the world’s oldest cities: known as Olispio by the Romans, settled by the Visigoths and the Arabs before becoming the base for the “Discoveries’ – Columbus, Magellan and Vasco de Gama all set sail from here. An earthquake in 1755 destroyed many buildings and dramatically brought an end to this powerful empire. The UNESCO-listed monastery in Belem still stands and is definitely worth a visit, as is the Alfama district for ‘fado’ (music) – or simply enjoy a stroll through the streets of this beautiful city. You will find the first waymark of your Portuguese Camino at the Cathedral.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
