The day opens in Lisbon with the city’s tiled facades shrinking in the rearview as the highway unfurls northward. Inside an air-conditioned private vehicle, travelers trade urban bustle for a sequence of coastal cliffs, medieval walls and river plains — each stop a distinct chapter of Portugal’s story. Choose up to three: the giant waves and fishing culture of Nazaré; Óbidos’ cobbled ramparts and a shot of ginjinha; the solemn Sanctuary of Fátima; the scholarly spires of Coimbra; or Aveiro’s moliceiro boats and salt pans.
