Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Lisbon
Spread over seven hills with São Jorge Castle views, bustling Lisbon is one of the world's oldest cities. Elegant Baixa, hilltop Alfama with its yellow tram, and scenic Graça overviewing pastel buildings, are top areas. The Jerónimos Monastery in Belém is a World Heritage Gothic site. The classic Portuguese pastel de nata custard tarts are a local treat. Europe’s longest suspension bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, crosses the river Tagus.
Day 2 - Day 2 Portimao
The Algarve’s second-most populous city of Portimao is best known for its historic quarter and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians. With the aroma of freshly cooked sardines drifting through the streets, Portimao is a wonderful spot for downtime. The city's Museum de Portico is housed in a 19th century cannery. Further into town, Praia da Rocha is one of the Algarve’s most beautiful beaches.
Day 3 - Day 3 Casablanca
Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, showcases a fusion of French, Moorish, and Art Deco styles in its downtown neo-Mauresque structures. The prominent Hassan II Mosque, finished in 1993, features a towering 210m minaret with laser projections, and the 18th-century medina's lively alleyways provide a glimpse into the city's historical charm. Place Mohammed V, with palm trees and an elaborate fountain, symbolises Casablanca's dynamism.
Day 4 - Day 4 Safi
Safi blends Atlantic charm, rich history, and vibrant Moroccan culture. Famous for its centuries-old pottery, the city features colorful markets, a lively medina, and sweeping ocean views. Its impressive sea-front fortress and dramatic cliffs offer a striking welcome, while Safi also serves as a gateway to Essaouira, whose UNESCO-listed medina reflects centuries of cultural exchange along Morocco’s Atlantic coast.
Day 5 - Day 5 Agadir
Agadir's beach is alive with sea-facing cafes, overlooked by the 16th-century Saadian Kasbah which graces Agadir Ou-fellah hill. The sprawling El Had Souk has 6,000 glittering stores, while the reconstructed medina, reborn after an earthquake, offers a glimpse of the city's historical charm. Other highlights include the grand Mohamed V Mosque, one of Morocco's most impressive, and the Ethnographic Museum delving into local Berber culture.
Day 6 - Days 6 Arrecife, Lanzarote Island
Arrecife, Lanzarote’s capital, is a bustling city with lively attractions. Charco San Gines, a natural seawater lagoon, lies in an area filled with old houses and charming fishing boats, as does the 16th-century stone fortress, Castillo de San Gabriel, now serving as a museum. Timanfaya National Park is a surreal expanse of volcanic landscapes. Deep within the heart of this volcanic wonderland lies the Montañas del Fuego, or "Fire Mountains."
Day 7 - Day 7 Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura Island
Fuerteventura, the oldest Canary Island, has some of the Canaries' best beaches with miles of white and golden sand beaches, interrupted only by cliffs and sheltered coves.

Day 11 - DAY 11 TAKAMATSU
Arrive this morning in Takamatsu, the capital of Kagawa Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. The city offers a refreshing small-city perspective on Japanese urban life. A day in Takamatsu wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Ritsurin Park, one of Japan’s most exquisite gardens. An expansive space, Ritsurin was begun by a feudal lord in the 17th century and took 100 years to establish. Dedicate several hours to these immaculately maintained gardens where shaded clearings give way to sun-dappled paths, which wind around pretty ponds and lead to bright red bridges over gentle streams. Enclosed within the garden are the Sanuki Folkcraft Museum and several lovely teahouses in which visitors can sip matcha. Another park, Tamamo-koen, contains the ruins of the city’s 16th-century castle Takamatsu-jo. Like many of Japan’s castles, it was decommissioned in 1869 following the Meiji Restoration, and nowadays only several original turrets, some walls and a moat survive.
Day 12 - DAY 12 KOBE
Your final port of call is Kobe on Osaka Bay, famed for its succulent beef. , this buoyant port city has a laid-back atmosphere and, even, an urban waterfall. A highlight is a ride on the Shin-Kobe Ropeway cable car up to Mount Rokko for views of, firstly, Nunobiki Falls, the urban sprawl and, on a good day, the Seto Inland Sea.
