About Lisbon

Explore the coastline of Portugal and Northern Spain on this fascinating vacation. In Portugal, you’ll overnight in Lisbon and Oporto, and enjoy guided sightseeing in both, including Lisbon’s Jeronimos Monastery, dating back to the 16th century, and the Church of Sao Francisco in Oporto, the city’s most important gothic temple. Also visit the Sanctuary of our Lady of the Rosary in Fatima, with pilgrims from all over the world.

In Spain, stay two nights in Santiago de Compostela, one of the most popular pilgrim destinations since the Middle Ages. Here, visit the cathedral where the relics of St. James the Apostle are held. You’ll also overnight in Oviedo; San Sebastian, a popular resort with its picturesque location and harbor; Saragossa, where you’ll visit the Plaza del Pilar, one of Spain’s grandest squares; and Barcelona, where you’ll stay two nights with guided sightseeing that includes a visit to Sagrada Familia Basilica, Gaudi’s masterpiece.

On this Portugal and Northern Spain tour, Globus has also included some special experiences for you.

These are just a couple of the unique experiences included on this vacation. From the historical sights and the popular resorts to the local food and drink specialties, this Portugal and Northern Spain tour has it all!
