Vacation in Portugal and Spain

The Iberian Peninsula—home to Spain and Portugal—is the focus of this 8-day vacation from Gate 1 Travel. During your trip, you’ll spend time in Lisbon, Madrid, and Barcelona. There’s no set itinerary, though we’ve provided some highlights and suggestions below. The vacation includes:

Optional tours are available for purchase at time of reservation. Contact Gate 1 Travel for details.

Days 1-3: Lisbon

The call of the sea is strong in Lisbon, a port city along the Tagus River. Vasco da Gama, Magellan, and Prince Henry the Navigator all lived here before undertaking their legendary ocean voyages. You can learn more about Lisbon’s seafaring age at the Maritime Museum, where you’ll see replicas of 16th-century maps and two 18th-century ceremonial barges.

  • Climb to the top of Belem Tower for panoramic views of Lisbon’s harbor. Built in 1515, the tower was the starting point for ocean voyages in the 16th century and beyond.
  • Best spot for a night on the town: Bairro Alto, a hilltop district with dozens of restaurants and bars playing jazz, electronica, and local fado music, a melancholy guitar music that’s distinctive to Portugal.

Days 4-5 Madrid

Cobblestone streets wend past rooftop terraces and centuries-old plazas in Spain’s capital. Though the rustic backdrop may seem frozen in time, the city bustles with energy, from its busy tapas bars to all-night piano clubs. Things are especially hopping in Puerta del Sol. This huge city square located at the very center of the Spanish road system is where many late-night revelers congregate until dawn.

  • Must-see museums line the city’s Art Walk, a verdant cultural district just east of the city center. The Prado Museum is one of Europe’s finest art collections, spotlighting Spanish masters El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya. Other museums include the Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofia, which is home to Picasso’s masterpiece, Guernica.
  • Watch a bullfight at Las Ventas Bullring, and see the arena up-close on daily guided tours.

Days 6-8: Barcelona

Barcelona is like Madrid’s hip younger sister, praised as “quirky, cosmopolitan and effortlessly cool” by Frommer’s. One must-see attraction is La Sagrada Familia, a cartoonish basilica designed by modernist architect Antoni Gaudí. It’s a work in progress if there ever was one: by the time it’s finished (the estimated year of completion is 2026), it will have been under construction for nearly 150 years.

  • Stroll through Park Güell Have a picnic among whimsical mosaics and unrivaled city views in this park designed by Art-Nouveau architect Antoni Gaudi,
  • Street performers act as living statues in Las Ramblas, a pedestrian-only boulevard lined with restaurants and shops in the middle of Barcelona. Order a glass of sangria at a sidewalk cafe and enjoy the show.
