Vintage Central Portugal

You are invited to join us on an exclusive rail-based holiday to the central Beiras region of Portugal. Our tour will be at a leisurely pace with plenty of time to see each place that we visit. We are based for all seven nights in the fine 4-star Hotel Vila Galé located close to Coimbra’s historical quarter with views of the River Mondego. Highlights of the holiday include the Roman city at Conimbriga, four UNESCO listed sites of Coimbra University, Alcobaça Monastery, Batalha Monastery and Convent of Christ in Tomar, River Mondego boat trip, the funicular and stunning beach at Nazaré, a trip on the last remaining metre-gauge line in Portugal, hopefully on the newly restored historic railcar, the National Railway Museum and a boat trip around the Ria de Aveiro canals. Coimbra is also the only town in Portugal that still operates trolleybuses. If you want “off the tourist track” then this one has it all.

Your Tour Manager for this trip is David, who lives in Lisbon. Should you have any queries about the itinerary or if you wish to have a chat with him about the trip, please feel free to e-mail him on david@ptg.co.uk.
