On our recent trip to Lisbon we booked a private day tour with Selection Tours to Sintra, Cascais and Estoril. Selection Tours offer a wide range of private and semi-private luxury tours of Lisbon and of surrounding places of interest such as Sintra. We had a fantastic day exploring Sintra, the former summer residence of the Portuguese kings which was classified as UNESCO World Heritage in 1995 and the beautiful Pena Palace along with the beautiful coastal towns of Cascais and Estoril. * We’re sorry…
After we sadly dropped off our Soul Campers campervan after an incredible week exploring the Algarve and West Coast regions of Portugal we headed north on the train to Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon! We had done very little research on Lisbon before we arrived and so didn’t know what to expect but had an amazing four days exploring this fantastic city! Our days were filled with sightseeing, getting lost in the windy cobblestoned streets of the old town, indulging in excellent food and strolling the…

We’ve just finished the most INCREDIBLE week campervanning through Portugal with Soul Campers.

Portugal is such a beautiful country that is well worth adding to your bucket list if it is not already on it and…

We then started our trip in the Eastern part of the Algarve…
