Journey to Portugal: Tours, Tastings, and Travel Talk

Send us Fan MailPortugal Trip Plan: Solo Start in Aveiro, Food & Wine Tours in Porto, Coimbra, Lagos & LisbonBrittany and Josh share their upcoming Portugal itinerary and why the trip could make Portugal a front-runner for where they might move. They gathered recommendations from TikTok but won’t make it to the islands due to limited time. Brittany will begin with five days of first-time solo travel in Aveiro, navigating Portugal by public transit, before Josh joins her for two more days and then they head to Porto. In Porto, they’ve booked multiple tours including food, drink, port wine, and a full-day Douro Valley wine tour, and they’ll be there for Josh’s birthday. They’ll then spend three days in Coimbra, known for its historic university, followed by three days in Lagos with a beach hotel, a speedboat cave tour, swimming, and a food tour, and finish with one day in Lisbon with a food and wine tour.00:00 Portugal Trip Preview00:39 Crowdsourced Tips and Tradeoffs01:26 Solo Start in Aveiro03:10 Aveiro Canals and Vibes03:46 Porto Tours and Birthday Plans06:16 Getting Around by Train06:51 Coimbra University Stop08:24 Beach Time in Lagos10:24 One Day in Lisbon11:06 Why Food Tours Matter12:33 Most Excited For Porto13:40 Porto City Size Talk14:09 Birthday Plans In Porto14:22 Beach Trip To Lagos15:06 Predicting Favorite Cities17:51 Top Tours To Book20:01 Wine Tours And Reviews21:50 Hotels Pools And Beaches22:28 Mountains And Day Trips23:26 Solo Travel Nerves24:38 Why Portugal Feels Right25:52 Next Episode And Farewell@WSMHtravels
