Help with Portugal and Azores. 2 weeks. Itinerary
Our take
Hey adventurer! Planning a two-week solo trip to Portugal and the Azores sounds incredible! With your landing and departure in Lisbon, you have the perfect opportunity to explore both the mainland and the stunning islands. I recommend budgeting around five days for the Azores, which allows ample time to soak in its natural beauty and unique experiences. For Portugal, dedicate the remaining time to cities like Porto, Sintra, and Faro, ensuring you capture the essence of this vibrant country. Let’s craft an unforgettable itinerary together!
Hello, I plan to go to Portugal and Azores for 2 weeks in early June. I will be landing in Lisbon. I will also depart from Lisbon when the 2 weeks ends.
Now, my question is, how much time should I budget for seeing the Azores and Portugal? Would it make sense to go to Azores first or middle or end of my trip?
Little background: I am solo travelling (first time), introvert, not interested in night life and I do not drink so not too interested in Douro Valley. I want to see a lot of Portugal, not just Lisbon. How would you recommend I structure my itinerary? Any places I shouldn't miss and/or can miss?
I am very early into making my itinerary so I would appreciate any and all suggestions! Thanks!

- Second guessing our itinerary in PortugalWe are going to Portugal May 17-23 and second guessing our itinerary, would love advice! Current plan: Fly into Lisbon → train to Porto (3 nights) → train back to Lisbon (3 nights) → fly home from Lisbon. But now I’m wondering if this is too much back-and-forth and if we’re losing time in transit. Would it be more relaxing / a better use of time to: Just fly into Porto and stay in that region the whole trip? Or fly into Porto and out of Lisbon (one-way), so we don’t have to double back? We want to maximize our time actually enjoying Portugal (food, wine, and wandering) vs sitting going back and forth. I am more of a relaxed traveler. For those who’ve done it—what would you recommend? Is splitting time between Porto + Lisbon worth it, or better to slow it down and stick to one area? If we should stick to Porto, would love recommendations for the area. We are planning on visiting Douro Valley. Any tips welcome 🙏 submitted by /u/Mindless_Lynx_6882 [link] [comments]
- Portugal Spain Itinerary. Is 12 days enough in December end?Hello everyone, Im trying to figure out my itinerary to these two amazing countries. I land in Lisbon and fly out of Barcelona. Total duration 12 days. 22Dec to 2Jan. Could anyone recommend day splits or anything of that sort? Like 4-5 days Portugal and 6-7 days Spain? My plan of action is something like, land in Lisbon, next day head to Algarve and do sky diving and live around that area for a few days. Then head to Seville, Madrid and Barcelona and fly out to my hometown. I plan to spend NYE in Barcelona (as suggested) by internet ai. Obviously I can't do the entire countries in 12 days, so asking you folks if there's something I need to add or maybe skip. I'm travelling with my wife. We're both adventurers. I'm astonished by the Spanish and Portuguese history of conquest, so id happily visit museums and castles or anything that depicts their histories. Please suggest something. I went to Switzerland some time back and I enjoyed it, but reviews here made be believe I could've done a bit more. Hence, I am asking you folks. Cities I'd surely want to visit are Lisbon and Barcelona, as id be flying to and out from them. I don't mind taking a car, train or a flight for internal travels. Whatever is best for the time, id do it. My preference for cities are Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and maybe Valencia. Adventure activities: Sky diving and a bit of Hiking. Thanks in advance folks. Let's hope for some good responses. submitted by /u/VariousVisit4959 [link] [comments]
- Itinerary Advice - Spain/PortugalHey everyone, Wondering what you all think of the following. I have 8 days to spend in mid/late June in Spain/Portugal and the 3 places/cities that we (my wife and I) are most interested in are San Sebastian, Porto, and Lisbon. I'm thinking it'll probably be rushed if we do all 3 in that amount of time, so I'm looking to narrow it down to 2 of the 3, but am having trouble. We're in our early 30s and enjoy a ton of different things including: food - restaurants/bars/coffee shops, culture/sightseeing, walking around cities, beaches, hiking/nature, night life and more. Any and all thoughts and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! submitted by /u/BonsaiCrazed13 [link] [comments]
- Spain vs Spain + Portugal (15 days, mid-June) — itinerary feedback?Hi, I’ve been reading past threads, but I’m still unsure how to structure this trip and would really appreciate some feedback. Trip details: ~15 days total (mid-June, somewhat flexible) Flying from the US (likely into Barcelona, out of Lisbon) Budget: mid-range (mix of hotels + occasional nicer stays) Interests: food, walkable cities, history, some architecture, not big on rushing or checking boxes What I’ve researched so far: I came up with two rough options: Option A (Spain only): Barcelona (4 days) Madrid (3 days) Seville (3–4 days) Granada (2 days) Option B (Spain + Portugal): Barcelona (3–4 days) Seville (3 days) Lisbon (3 days) Porto (2–3 days) My questions: Does Option B feel too rushed given the travel time between Spain and Portugal? If sticking to Spain, would you prioritize Granada over somewhere like Valencia or more time in Madrid? Any adjustments you’d make to improve pacing? submitted by /u/Existential_boba9352 [link] [comments]
