Itinerary
Day 1
Private pickup in Lisbon followed by a short Sintra stop and direct drive to Porto. Plan is paced for couples: scenic viewpoints, a pastry break, and relaxed arrival in Porto with a recommended romantic activity later in the day.
Pickup — Lisbon (private pickup)
Your driver meets you at the agreed Lisbon pickup point (hotel or Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport). Brief meet & greet, luggage stow, and vehicle comfort check before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to set the cabin temperature to a comfortable level before you enter — great for avoiding post‑flight chills or midday heat.
- If you’re arriving by plane, request pickup at the arrivals hall exit (Humberto Delgado Airport) to minimize walk with luggage.
- Carry a light jacket for Sintra’s microclimate — temperatures there can be several degrees cooler than Lisbon.
Drive — Lisbon to Sintra
Comfortable scenic drive from Lisbon to Sintra in your private vehicle. Enjoy rolling hills as you approach the Serra de Sintra.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the passenger side that faces the hills for better palace and forest views as you climb toward Sintra.
- If you want a longer photo stop, ask your driver — they know the best pull‑offs for quick viewpoints.
- Expect a 30–50 minute drive from central Lisbon depending on traffic; your driver will choose the best route.
Sintra quick stop — Pena Palace viewpoint
Short scenic stop at the Pena Palace viewpoint area to admire the colorful palace and sweeping views — a romantic photo opportunity without a long palace visit.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to drop you at the Miradouro or nearby viewpoint rather than attempting the full palace tour (saves time and avoids queues).
- Use this moment for a quick couple photo on a quiet terrace — early morning light in May is soft and flattering.
- Wear comfortable shoes for a short walk; the immediate viewpoint paths are uneven and can include a few steps.
Main transfer — Sintra straight to Porto (comfort drive)
Relax in your private, air‑conditioned vehicle for the main leg to Porto. Enjoy Wi‑Fi (if requested), bottled water, and scenic motorway stretches. Driver handles all logistics.
Tips from local experts:
- Pick a seat that faces forward and relax — the drive is designed to be restful; request quiet music or no music for an intimate atmosphere.
- Ask the driver in advance about a brief coastal detour to Cabo da Roca (adds ~30–45 minutes) if you want a dramatic Atlantic cliff stop for a golden‑hour photo.
- Keep passports and any booking confirmations in an easy pocket — driver may need them if crossing any service checkpoints or tolls.
