Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon

Independent 8-day rail trip through Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon

Railbookers runs Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon as an 8-day, 7-night rail package through Portugal, calling it "a fascinating seven-night holiday by rail." The trip starts in Porto, a city the description labels "invincible," for two nights, then continues south by rail to riverside Coimbra before finishing in Lisbon, Portugal's capital. Beyond the two confirmed nights in Porto, the operator does not publish how the remaining nights split between Coimbra and Lisbon, or lay out a day-by-day schedule of activities. This trip suits independent travelers who want to see three different sides of Portugal, from Porto in the north to the capital in the south, without following an escorted group itinerary.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers specifies two nights in Porto at the start of this seven-night package, but does not break down how the remaining five nights split between Coimbra and Lisbon, or name the trains used. Confirm these details with the operator before booking.
