There’s no better time to learn to surf than during your vacation in Portugal. Visit one of the city’s two best beaches for surfing—Guincho or Carcavelos—and get the basics down or improve your skills. If you’re new, learn to paddle out to sea, how to get up on your board, and how to balance, before catching some waves. For more experienced surfers, your instructor provides feedback on how to improve.

Explore the charming town of Sintra with all of its fairytale castles before making your way down the coast and exploring the quaint seaside villages of Cascais and Estoril in a full-day private tour. Stop at Cabo da Roca—Europe’s westernmost point—and the rock formation of “Boca do Inferno,” on the way back to your accommodation in Lisbon.
