Top Highlights

  • AlfamaTram 28 is a working commuter line that happens to go past everything.
  • Jeronimos MonasteryPasteis de Belem has made the same custard tart to the same monastery recipe since 1837, and the queue moves quickly.
  • Pena PalaceCabo da Roca between the two is the westernmost point of mainland Europe, and it feels like it.
  • Ponta da PiedadePonta da Piedade is a headland of sea stacks and arches and the clifftop path along it costs nothing.
  • Benagil CaveMotorboats are now banned inside Benagil cave, so kayak or SUP is the only way in — which is why it is still worth doing.
  • Praia da Marinha

Elena Petrova – Lisbon2026-07-26 · Verified booking

Lisbon & the Algarve done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Good value for what's included.

Lisbon & the Algarve done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
