This Portugal Getaways package includes round-trip flights, 8 nights of hotel accommodation (3 nights in Porto, 2 nights in the Douro Valley and 3 nights in Lisbon), a rental car for the whole trip picked up at Porto Airport and returned at Lisbon Airport, with the one-way fee included, booking-related taxes and fees, and an expert trip manager.

Meals, tolls, fuel and parking are not included.

Yes, round-trip flights are included. The package price varies depending on your departure airport. Other departure cities are available on request.

Yes. Roads are well maintained, signage is clear, and traffic is light outside Lisbon. You drive on the right side, the same as in North America. An International Driving Permit is not required by Portuguese law, but some rental companies recommend having one just in case. You need a valid driver's license and passport. 

Porto to the Douro Valley takes about 2 hours, and the Douro Valley to Lisbon about 3 hours. On the way south you can stop in Coimbra or Fátima.

Tolls are not included in the package. Most Portuguese motorways have electronic tolls, which are charged through the rental car's toll device. You can estimate costs with the Via Verde toll calculator.

The package includes a standard car. If you prefer an automatic or a larger vehicle for more luggage or passengers, upgrades are available when you book.

The rental car includes basic insurance. Most rentals still carry an excess, so we recommend upgrading to the highest insurance level. The Portugal Getaways team can arrange this for you.

Portugal Getaways selects hotels in Porto, the Douro Valley and Lisbon, keeping the hotel category you choose when you book. In the Douro, hotels are often among the vineyards, outside the towns.

Would you like an upgrade or a more budget-friendly option? Contact the Portugal Getaways team before booking. The exact hotels are confirmed in the next step of the booking.

The hotels in this package are selected because they have parking on site or nearby. Parking is not always free, and parking costs are not included in the package price. Please check the parking conditions during the booking process. If free parking is a priority for you, contact the Portugal Getaways team: we will prioritize hotels with free parking and send you a quote.

Breakfast is not included by default, but it can be added during the booking process or prioritized on request. 

City taxes are not included and are paid directly at each hotel.

Yes. The Portugal Getaways team can add nights, change hotels or add optional experiences, such as a Douro river cruise, a wine tasting at a quinta or a Port wine cellar visit in Porto. Changes are subject to availability and any price difference.

This trip works all year.

• Spring (March to May): green vineyards and mild days.
• Summer (June to August): hot in the Douro Valley, lively in Porto and Lisbon.
• Fall (September to October): harvest season in the Douro, one of the best times to visit.
• Winter (November to February): quiet and good value, with some wineries on reduced hours.

If you are travelling solo, the package price is based on two travelers sharing a room and a single supplement applies. You can check solo pricing by changing the number of guests from 2 to 1 in the booking calendar before clicking See Dates and Prices, or contact the Portugal Getaways team directly and we will make it easy.
