Itinerary
Arrive at Porto airport, where you’ll be met by your tour manager and transferred to your hotel in Guimarães, one of Portugal’s most historic cities. Known as the birthplace of Portugal, this UNESCO-listed city boasts beautifully preserved medieval streets, a striking castle, and a delightful town square.
Settle into your centrally located hotel and enjoy your first dinner.
After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning before joining your tour manager and a local guide for the afternoon excursion, a journey on the Douro Historical steam train.
Travel by coach to Régua, where you’ll board the beautifully restored 1925 steam locomotive for an adventure through the breath-taking UNESCO-listed Douro Valley. As the train winds its way along the picturesque riverbanks, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of rolling vineyards, terraced hillsides, and charming villages. The open windows and balconies of the wooden carriages offer the perfect vantage points to soak in the landscapes.
The train will stop at Pinhão, home to one of Portugal’s most beautiful azulejo-tiled railway stations, where you’ll have the chance to visit a Wine House. As the train continues towards Tua, you’ll cross the iconic metal bridge, the gateway to the Douro Superior sub-region.
Upon arrival in Tua, enjoy some free time to explore the riverside town before reboarding the train for the return journey to Régua, where your coach will be waiting to take you back to the hotel for dinner.
After breakfast, set off on a half-day tour of Guimarães, a city often referred to as the ‘Birthplace of Portugal’. With a rich history dating back to the 12th century, Guimarães is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Accompanied by a local guide, begin your exploration in the heart of the city, wandering through the cobbled streets of the centre. Admire the striking architecture of the Dukes of Braganza Palace, the imposing Guimarães Castle, and the squares fringed traditional houses, cafés, and boutiques.
Next, experience a change in perspective as you board the Penha cable car, a 1.7-kilometre ascent offering all-encompassing views over Guimarães and the countryside. Arriving at Penha Mountain, embrace some free time to explore this peaceful retreat.
After your time at Penha, return in the cable car and rejoin your coach to travel back to the hotel for dinner.
After breakfast, head out on a full-day tour that showcases the landscapes and world-famous wines of the Douro Valley. Your day kicks off with a train ride aboard the MiraDouro train from Porto to Régua. This beautifully preserved train, featuring classic carriages with large windows, promises a nostalgic railway experience
You’ll pass through vineyards, hillsides, and riverside villages, all part of the region designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival in Régua, a hub of the Douro wine region, you’ll have a short break before continuing deeper into the heart of Portugal’s wine country.
Next, travel to Quinta de Pacheca, one of the most renowned and oldest wine estates in the Douro Valley. Dating back to the 18th century, this prestigious winery combines traditional and modern techniques to make some unique labels. During your visit, tour the vineyards, learn about the grape varieties, see the wine barrels, and enjoy a guided wine tasting.
Return in the evening for dinner at the hotel.
Enjoy a relaxing day at your own pace, whether you prefer to unwind at the hotel or venture out to explore more of Guimarães. You can take advantage of the hotel’s amenities, perhaps relaxing by the swimming pool or in the spa.
For those looking to discover more, Guimarães, has a beautifully preserved medieval centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can visit Guimarães Castle, the fortress where Portugal’s first king, Afonso Henriques, was born, or the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, a grand 15th-century residence with impressive architecture.
If you have an interest in history and art, consider visiting the Alberto Sampaio Museum or the Centro Internacional das Artes José de Guimarães. Alternatively, browse local boutiques for Portuguese crafts and souvenirs or sip a coffee in one of the squares before returning to the hotel for dinner.
Once you’ve had breakfast, visit Barcelos, which is home to Portugal’s largest open-air market. Held every Thursday on the banks of Rio Cávado, this atmospheric market is awash with an assortment of local crafts, textiles and fresh produce. It’s also famous for its traditional pottery, including the Rooster of Barcelos, a symbol of Portuguese culture and good luck.
Next, travel to Braga, one of Portugal’s oldest and most attractive cities. Enjoy a guided tour through its streets, taking in the ornate Sé de Braga (Braga Cathedral), Portugal’s oldest cathedral, before heading to the Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary. Here, experience a ride on the famous Bom Jesus funicular, the oldest water-powered elevator in the world, as it ascends the hillside to the magnificent Monastery of Bom Jesus.
In the afternoon, continue to Viana do Castelo, a coastal city, with beautiful beaches and an appealing waterfront. A guided visit will take you into its medieval heart and old quarter, featuring Manueline, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings. Then, take a ride on the Santa Luzia Elevator, Portugal’s longest funicular, leading up to the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia. From this hilltop monastery, witness the spectacular views over the city, the Lima River, and the Atlantic coastline.
Return to the hotel in the evening for dinner.
Have breakfast and then head out on a tour of Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city known for its port wine production and grand bridges. Your guide will show you around its UNESCO-listed centre and famed landmarks, such as the Sé Cathedral, São Bento Railway Station with its azulejo tilework, and the bustling Ribeira district along the Douro River.
Next, hop aboard Porto’s ‘little’ land train for a unique sightseeing experience. This relaxed excursion transports you through the city’s streets, passing sights like Batalha Square, Aliados Avenue, and the Clérigos Tower. The train is equipped with an audio guide, ensuring you don’t miss any of Porto’s fascinating stories.
One of the highlights of this journey is a stop at one of Porto’s famous port wine cellars. Here, you can experience two wine tastings, see where the barrels are stored, and learn about the ageing process.
Afterwards, return to the hotel for your final evening and dinner in Portugal.

Travelling to Europe
Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. You do require government issued passport to travel.
Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.
Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you arrive (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").
Visa - You do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period.
The EES scheme commenced on the 12th October 2025, and the phased implementation will last until 9 April 2026. From 10 April 2026, EES will be fully operational at all EU borders. - the latest information can be found at https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/ltr
EES is a new digital border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of most European countries. Once introduced, when you go through passport control on arrival, as well as producing your passport for checking, you will also have your photograph taken and fingerprints scanned. The system will register your entry on arrival and your exit when departing. You will only need to do this on your first entry into Europe after the scheme starts.
For those travelling via Eurostar, there is a dual British and French/Belgian border in operational at St Pancras International. Therefore the EES system will be in place at the station, you will not need to be checked again on arrival at the other side. For further information please visit the https://www.abta.com/tips-and-advice/planning-and-booking-a-holiday/upcoming-changes-travel-europe here.
Please note: Irish passport holders or British Passport holders with an EU residency are currently excluded.
Following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, changes have been planned which affect the eligibility of citizens of the United Kingdom to have visa free travel to the EU. ETIAS travel authorisation is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of the European Union and Schengen counties.
The ETIAS system is not live yet - the latest information can be found at www.etias.com. We recommend keeping yourself updated on the planned commencement date and, once live (and if applicable to you), apply for your ETIAS in good time prior to travel.
Newmarket Holidays will not be able to undertake ETIAS applications on your behalf, so have instead instructed the services of the Travel Visa Company to provide help, should you need it. You can find more information about this service here.
Please note: ETIAS will not be required for UK citizens travelling on our UK and Ireland tours.
Unless stated otherwise, any suggested free‑time optional excursions, activities, attractions, meals or entertainment are not included in your holiday price and may be subject to local charges.
Further information
The transfer time from the airport to your hotel is approximately 45 minutes.
You are permitted to take one suitcase per person on the aircraft, which should not exceed 23kg.
British citizens require passports when travelling overseas and this must be valid for six months beyond the date you return. If you are not a British citizen, you may need a visa for the country/countries you are visiting (please contact the respective embassies to check and to apply).
If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.
The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made. In many developing countries access is sometimes not as easy as at home. Should you have walking difficulties, getting around monuments and attractions may be harder and, in some cases, impossible. Should you have any concerns whatsoever please do contact us prior to travel.
Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.
Should circumstances require, we reserve the right to accommodate you in alternative hotels, of a similar standard, nearby. Full details of your hotels will be sent with your Final Travel Documents.
