We will cross, under the railway and the road, to reach the gardens in front of the 16th century Jerónimos Monastery, another UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Excursion 3: Lisboa Vineyard - the South Side of the River

Depart by coach crossing the river Tagus through the 25th of April bridge built in the 1960’s by the US Steel Company. Just across the bridge, on the Palmela Peninsula, we find the closest vineyards to Lisboa, famous for its fortified dessert wine “Moscatel” as well as the table wines produced in the area. We will visit one of the modern Wine cellars for a guided tour and a tasting experience. The return trip to Lisboa will take you over the Vasco da Gama Bridge, built for the world exhibition held in Lisbon in 1998. At the time of its construction this was the longest bridge in Europe.

Minimum number of participants: 20

Excursion 4: The Art of Azulejos and the National Azulejos Museum

Depart by coach for a drive along the river for an introduction to an ancient art still visible on many Lisbon house façades: Azulejo – the word most likely has its origin in the Arabic word for al-zulej = small stone. This art was developed by the Moors and later on, in the 15th century, spread to the Portuguese artisans. The National Tiles Museum is housed in one of Lisbon’s many old convents, and presents the history and the evolution of the art until the modern design and industrial production of today.

Price per person: 35,00€
Minimum number of participants: 20

Excursion 5: Sintra

In 1995, UNESCO recognised the unique characteristics of Sintra, classifying the whole village as World Heritage Site. The tour will include a visit of the Royal Palace (Palacio da Vila) and you will also enjoy some free time to discover the narrow streets and enchanted gardens and parks of the village. The return trip to Lisboa will take us via the scenic road along the river Tagus.
