Travel Map

Day 1: Lisbon (Portugal)

History. Culture. Food. And some seriously booty-burning hills. Dump your stuff at the hotel, say olá to your fellow explorers, and strap in for a drive around this electric city to tick off some of Lisbon’s A-lister sights. And tonight? We’re diving head first...

Day 2: Lisbon

Today is your day, your way. Spend your free time ticking off those bucket list items AND exploring the backstreets. Beat the crowds and get up early to ride Lisbon’s famous yellow 28 tram. Check out the winding medieval maze that is Alfama (Lisbon’s oldest nei...

Day 3: Lisbon – Sintra – Porto

No guesses on what Porto is famous for. But before your inner wine connoisseur gets too excited – we’ll make a stop in the fairytale town of Sintra. You’ll have plenty of free time to check out this UNESCO World Heritage-listed town in all its glory – ticking o...

Day 4: Porto

Time to delve a bit deeper – lace up those Nikes, we’re gonna take a look around Porto’s medieval streets, quirky alleyways and picture-perfect port on a walking tour. Pass by Porto Cathedral. Gape at Palácio da Bolsa. Count your blessings at San Francisco Chur...

Day 5: Porto – Madrid (Spain)

Today it’s up and onwards to the old haunts of Picasso, Dalí, Miró and a whole bunch of other enviably creative artists – Madrid, we’re coming for you. Our fact-filled Trip Leader will help us get better acquainted with the Spanish capital on a driving tour – t...

Day 6: Madrid

You wanted more time to explore – so here’s a free day we prepared earlier. Go get it. Check out the Royal Palace: the home of one of Europe's oldest monarchies. Stroll through the expansive Plaza Mayor. Make eyes at the masterpieces in Museo del Prado (aka Mad...

Day 7: Madrid – Segovia – San Sebastián

Next up: San Sebastián. On the way, we’ll swing by the Valley of the Fallen – a memorial to those killed during the Spanish Civil War. Then: roll into World Heritage-listed Segovia to check out the Aqueduct, Cathedral and Disney-like Alcázar de Segovia castle. ...

Day 8: San Sebastián

Forget hitting snooze, this Basque hotspot is begging to be explored. Get your bearings on an orientation walk around town. DW, our in-the-know Trip Leader will point out the best pintxos places along the way. Then the rest is up to you. Join the crowd of beach...

Day 9: San Sebastián – Zaragoza – Barcelona

Quick maths: this is our last full day. So, make every second count. We’ll make a pit stop in one of the most underrated cities in Spain: Zaragoza. Check out the impressive Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, stroll past the ancient Roman walls and grab a bit...

Day 10: Barcelona

We delved deep. We experienced MORE. And now it's time to say goodbye (we’re not crying, you are). Swap those socials and get planning that reunion trip – who’s up for round two next year?
