5 day Tour to Lisbon, Caceres and Madrid

After a delicious breakfast you will visit, with your local guide, the most important sites of this beautiful city located at the mouth of the Tagus River. The Alfama neighborhood will be our first destination, which to this day retains its neighborhood essence with low houses and narrow sidewalks. It is the oldest part of the city and the most photogenic for its graffitis and facades. Due to its labyrinthine structure -inherited from the Arabs-, getting lost in its little streets is charmingly easy.

The Torre de Belem, located in the Tagus estuary, initially served as a defensive tower to protect the city but later became a customs center and lighthouse. It was built between 1515 and 1519 and is the work of Francisco de Arruda.

In 1983 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is located very close to the Jerónimos Monastery, where we will continue our visit. Inside this Monastery we will find a Church that contains the tombs of one of the most important figures in the history of Portugal: Vasco da Gama. This Portuguese navigator and explorer was in charge of circling the African continent until he reached India, opening up the so-called spice route for the Portuguese.

During the afternoon we include a transfer to the Restauradores Square, a public square with plenty of restaurants and cafes. 
 
Greca Tip: Do not miss ride the Elevador Da Gloria funicular that takes you to the viewpoint of San Pedro with beautiful views over Lisbon and the Bairro Alto. 

Today, after a complete breakfast, We’ll depart from Portugal early, crossing the picturesque region of Alentejo. We’ll stop for a coffee in Estremoz, a charming town with a medieval castle, cobblestone streets, beautiful architecture, and a peaceful atmosphere that embody the Portuguese identity. Continuing our journey towards Spain, we’ll arrive in Cáceres, where you can enjoy lunch and a stroll through its historic center—an exceptionally well-preserved medieval and Renaissance urban complex.

Last stop from the day will be Madrid where you will be arriving towards the end of the day. Once there will be possible to catch a transfer to Plaza Mayor where you can enjoy at some typical taverns.

Madrid is a city steeped in history and culture, with vibrant streets brimming with energy. It's famous for its impressive monuments, beautiful fountains, world-class museums, stunning architecture, delightful parks and squares, and so much more.

Greca Tip: Don't miss the opportunity to try a Bocata de calamar, it's a fried calamari ring sandwich.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will begin an inspiring exploration of Madrid, discovering the vibrant heart of the Spanish capital. Our panoramic tour will guide us through its most emblematic avenues and squares, including Paseo del Prado, Cibeles, Neptuno, Puerta de Alcalá, Plaza de Colón, and the lively Plaza Mayor, each reflecting the city’s rich cultural heritage and elegant urban charm.

We will then stroll through the serene pathways of Retiro Park, a treasured oasis in the city center. Here, we’ll admire its tranquil lake and the shimmering Crystal Palace, two of the park’s most iconic landmarks. The morning continues with an exciting visit to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (admission included), home to Real Madrid—regarded by many as the greatest football club in the world. Walking through its stands, halls, and museum offers a thrilling look into football history.

You’ll have the rest of the afternoon free to enjoy Madrid at your own pace, whether exploring museums, savoring tapas, or discovering hidden corners of the city. In the evening, we will return to the hotel to rest after a memorable day.

Greca Tip: If you have extra time, stroll down Gran Vía at sunset—the mix of glowing lights and classic architecture creates one of Madrid’s most magical atmospheres.

You will enjoy your breakfast and, at the indicated time, you will be transferred to Madrid-Barajas Airport to board your international flight.

Having spent a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again soon!

Have a nice trip! Or, as Spanish people say: "¡Buen viaje!".
