Cities and day trips
Tomar – Templars and mystery
Tomar feels almost mysterious. The city was designed by the Knights Templar and is filled with symbolism. The Convento do Cristo is truly impressive, and with a guide, the history really comes to life.
Fátima – peace and reflection
Fátima leaves a lasting impression, even if you are not religious. The enormous square, the basilicas, and the calm atmosphere make it a very special place to visit. From May to October, the evening candlelight procession is especially moving to experience.
Lisbon – trams, fado and pastéis
Lisbon is vibrant, raw, and charming all at once. Wander through Alfama, hear fado music drifting from open windows, hop on a traditional tram, and enjoy a fresh pastel de nata. A perfect day trip from Casa Serra Larga.
Coimbra – a young heart with an old soul
Coimbra is a city full of stories. Visit the famous university and library, stroll through the old streets, and end the day along the Mondego River. Historic, lively, and full of atmosphere.
Aveiro – colour and canals
Aveiro is cheerful and unique. With its canals, colourful boats, and beautiful tiled buildings, it is a wonderful city to explore at a relaxed pace. And the best part: within just 15 minutes, you can already be on the beach at Costa Nova, famous for its iconic striped houses.
Porto – rugged, charming and full of character
Porto has character. Walk along the Douro River, admire the bridges, taste the famous port wine, and soak in the atmosphere of the old city centre. Perfect for a long day trip or even an overnight stay.
