Day Trips & Tours from Lisbon

96 tours · €19–€425 per person · ★ 4.8

Day trips from Lisbon are some of the best in Portugal, and a guided day tour is how you make them effortless. Most start with hotel pickup and a driver-guide, so you swap train timetables for a planned itinerary and just enjoy the ride.

When you compare day trips from Lisbon, decide which direction pulls you. Sintra and Cascais is the classic full-day run, pairing palaces in the hills with the Atlantic coast road. Head north for Óbidos inside its walls, the Knights Templar castle at Tomar, and the surf town of Nazaré. Prefer the water? A private Tagus boat trip trades landmarks for sailing, swimming and sunbathing. Private day trips give you the pace and stops; small-group day tours keep costs down. We'd book a full-day option for Sintra and a half-day for the coast.

96 Lisbon day trips from €19. Private and small-group, with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - quick to book online.

Planning a trip to Lisbon

Best time to visit

Lisbon rewards a visit year-round, but spring (March to May) and early autumn (September to October) are the sweet spot: warm days, lighter crowds and better prices than peak summer. July and August are hot and busiest, ideal for boat and beach day trips, while winters stay mild, quiet and great value.

Getting there & around

Most visitors land at Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), about 20 minutes from the centre by metro or taxi. The city is walkable but steep, so lean on the historic trams, the metro and short rideshare hops between hills. Many tours include hotel pickup or start from central, easy-to-reach meeting points.
