Portugal for Solo Travelers
9 days | 11 days with Lisbon extension | Estimated monthly payments as low as $136
Soak up the sun along Portugal’s winding rivers and golden coasts solo—but not alone.
Tucking into Portugal’s signature pastry pastéis de nata is a lot more fun with new friends by your side. A feast for every sense, Portugal beckons you with colorful architecture, crashing waves, mouthwatering cuisine, and the bittersweet sounds of fado. We’ve curated this trip especially for solo travelers with immersive group experiences—like bonding in a hands-on cooking class—and time to recharge on your own. If you’ve been waiting for someone to take the plunge with, we’ve got you covered with a whole lot of friends you just haven’t met yet.
