You step off the tram and the Tagus opens up like a bright argument—salt and sunlight pushing toward the sea while tiled facades watch from narrow streets. Over three days a private driver nudges you from the modern sweep of Parque das Nações to Alfama’s alleys, through the misty hills of Sintra and out to the basalt cliffs of Cabo da Roca; on the optional third day you can choose the hush of Fatima or the medieval lanes of Évora.
