Return flights to Lisbon and out of Porto from various UK Airports
PORTUGAL’S two greatest cities are a perfect pairing – and with Orbis Travels’ Lisbon and Porto Twin City Experience, you can discover both in one unforgettable trip. From the bright, sun-soaked streets of Lisbon to the riverside charm of Porto, this seven-day adventure combines culture, cuisine and coastal beauty in equal measure.
Flying from a range of UK airports, your journey begins in Lisbon, the nation’s vibrant capital. You’ll spend three nights at the stylish Hotel Lisboa, perfectly located for exploring the city’s iconic districts and viewpoints.
Wander through Alfama, the oldest neighbourhood in Lisbon, where steep cobbled lanes twist past pastel-coloured houses and the sound of fado music drifts from tiny tavernas. Take in sweeping views from the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, or hop aboard the famous yellow tram 28 for a nostalgic ride through the city’s hills.
Lisbon’s mix of old-world charm and modern energy makes it a joy to explore at any pace. Spend a morning at Belém, where the striking Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém recall Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Don’t forget to stop for a freshly baked pastel de nata from the legendary Pastéis de Belém bakery – a sweet treat that tastes of sunshine and cinnamon.
For a taste of contemporary Lisbon, head to the LX Factory, a creative hub of restaurants, galleries and shops set in a converted industrial complex, or enjoy a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the River Tagus. Each evening, return to the comfort of your hotel for a restful night’s sleep before another day of exploration.
After three nights in the capital, the journey continues north as you board a comfortable train to Porto, watching Portugal’s beautiful landscapes roll by. Your home for the next three nights is the Cristal Porto Hotel, a modern and welcoming base ideally located for discovering this characterful city.

Porto is a place of contrasts and charm – elegant yet unpretentious, traditional yet buzzing with creativity. Begin your exploration in the Ribeira District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow lanes tumble down to the River Douro. Colourful buildings line the waterfront, their façades reflected in the gentle water as traditional rabelo boats glide past.
One of the highlights of your stay is the Porto Panoramic Six Bridges River Cruise, included in your package. This relaxing boat trip offers a unique view of the city’s famous bridges, from the grand Dom Luís I to the modern Arrábida, while revealing Porto’s story from the water that has shaped its soul.
No visit to Porto would be complete without sampling the city’s most famous export – Port wine. Cross the river to Vila Nova de Gaia, where historic wine lodges have aged their barrels for centuries. Join a tasting tour, learn about the craft behind the fortified wine, and raise a glass to the good life.

Between sightseeing and sipping, take time to simply wander. Step inside the ornate São Bento railway station, with its intricate blue-and-white azulejo tiles depicting Portugal’s history, or marvel at the gilded interior of the Church of São Francisco. Food lovers will find endless delights in Porto’s dining scene – from traditional bacalhau dishes to cutting-edge cuisine served with warm Portuguese hospitality.
Throughout your six-night stay, daily breakfast is included, ensuring you are well-fuelled for days of discovery. With Orbis Travels’ trusted service and excellent 4.8-star Trustpilot rating, you can relax knowing every detail has been expertly arranged.
This twin-city experience is the ideal way to see two sides of Portugal in one seamless journey – the sun-drenched elegance of Lisbon and the romantic riverside allure of Porto. Each city offers its own rhythm and flavour, yet together they form a perfect portrait of Portuguese life.
For those who crave variety, history and a touch of indulgence, Orbis Travels’ Lisbon and Porto experience promises a holiday to remember – a week of warmth, wonder and winding cobblestones where every turn reveals something to love.
