Portugal · Published planning example
Open a day to read the plan and its spending notes.
Leave your bags and explore a short stretch around the room, with time for a meal. This route uses Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto as its overnight bases, with Óbidos as a day trip. It does not promise visits to every monastery town in central Portugal.
€140.00 for one whole private room, €45.00 for meals, €8.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €203.00
Check Rodoviária do Oeste's Rápida Verde from Campo Grande to Óbidos and save the return. Walk the town streets at a comfortable pace; wall-top sections may not suit everyone. Leave the bags in Lisbon and return to the same room tonight rather than adding several other towns.
€140.00 for one whole private room, €45.00 for meals, €8.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €203.00
Take the reserved train to Coimbra-B and use the current central connection, allowing the final hill or room approach. After check-in, walk around the lower town and river. Tomorrow gives the university visit more space than a tight arrival appointment would.
€115.00 for one whole private room, €40.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €172.00
Choose the €16.50 university product with the library if that is your priority, and build the morning around its entry time. The €12.50 product has different inclusions. Afterwards, come down towards Santa Cruz and the river, with a meal and a slower afternoon.

Estimated day spending: €172.00
Take a suitable mainline train from Coimbra-B to Campanhã, adding the local journey at both ends. Reach your room before exploring the streets around São Bento or Ribeira. Keep the evening flexible rather than combining the move with a distant Douro excursion.
€125.00 for one whole private room, €42.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €184.00
Give the historic streets a comfortable walking route and choose Clérigos, a Gaia cellar visit or Serralves according to your interests. Serralves needs another local journey and more time than a quick central stop. Leave lunch and the return climb in the plan.
€125.00 for one whole private room, €42.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €184.00
Check the station or airport code on your onward booking and keep the morning near a useful connection. Collect your bags before setting off. Add an extra Porto night if you want another full day; the final day here includes no overnight allowance.
No overnight stay; €42.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.
Estimated day spending: €59.00
Use two nights in Lisbon, two in Coimbra and two in Porto. Óbidos is a day trip returning to Lisbon. This plan follows the places in the day-by-day route; it does not include stops in Alcobaça, Batalha or Tomar.
Check Rodoviária do Oeste for the Campo Grande–Óbidos bus and return. In Coimbra, allow the connection from Coimbra-B and book the university library for the full city day. The Porto arrival afternoon remains light, with the next day available for a longer visit.
Use the official planning information for the actual date and connection or access conditions.
For fewer days, leave out the Óbidos excursion or choose just Lisbon and Porto. Keep the mainline travel in the plan and avoid booking the Coimbra library between two tight train connections.
Lisbon · Coimbra · Porto. Each guide explains the local arrival and visits so you can choose the parts that suit your trip.
The day figures add up to €1,177.00 for one traveller before paid visits and extra journeys. A private-room line buys the whole room; divide only that part when sharing. These are chosen spending allowances, not available room offers or measured averages. Replace the stay amount with the full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning.
Add paid visits, excursions, intercity or inter-island tickets and airport journeys. The day notes separate accommodation, meals, local travel and small extras. The final day has no extra overnight allowance. The city budget cards are an alternative plan, so do not add them on top of this subtotal.
