8 Days in Portugal Itinerary Feedback (Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Nazare, Douro)

Hi everyone! My family and I are travelling to Portugal next month, and I’d love some feedback on our itinerary. We don’t mind fast-paced travel, but I want to make sure we’re not rushing too much or missing anything major.

• Day 1: Arrive in Lisbon early morning
• Day 2: Explore Lisbon
• Day 3: Sintra day trip
• Day 4: Day trip to Nazare + Obidos (possibly Fatima too) — debating between renting a car or doing a guided tour
• Day 5: Travel to Coimbra (not sure whether to stay overnight or continue to Porto the same evening)
• Day 6: Porto
• Day 7: Douro Valley day trip

• Day 8: More time in Porto, then evening train to Lisbon for next morning’s flight

• Does this feel too rushed for 8 full days?

• Would you recommend renting a car for Nazare/Obidos, or is a guided tour easier?

• Is Coimbra worth an overnight stay, or would you spend the extra time in Porto instead?
