Which Lisbon day trip should you choose?
Choose Fátima, Nazaré, Batalha and Óbidos for the broadest introduction to central Portugal. The Sintra route is better for palaces, gardens and Atlantic scenery. Porto is ambitious but useful if your itinerary does not otherwise include northern Portugal, while Tomar is the strongest history-focused option.
Most full-day tours last eight to twelve hours. Check whether attraction tickets, hotel pickup and lunch are included before comparing prices.
