Day 1

lisbon, portugal

Departure: 16:00

Lisbon is recognized as the city of seven hills due to its geographical position, with the city sprawling across steep hillsides that overlook the Rio Tajo. The city, both romantic and cosmopolitan, showcases its characteristic red rooftops to visitors eager to explore every corner. Lisbon astonishes with its natural beauty and laid-back ambiance. The capital of Portugal boasts numerous museums, libraries, a vast port, churches, palaces, and breathtaking views of the Rio Tajo. Once considered a poor and chaotic city, Lisbon has undergone a revival reminiscent of the 14th and 15th centuries when it was part of a vast empire stretching from Brazil to India. This resurgence was sparked by the World Expo held in 1998, which led to the construction of a new bridge over the Tagus and the remodeling of the city's subway system. The city's revival continued when it hosted several matches during the 2004 Euro and the MTV Delivery Music Awards in 2005. Many of its most beautiful buildings date back to the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly those in the Belem district. There are also many 18th-century buildings, primarily located in the Baixa area of central Lisbon, which were almost entirely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake struck the city in 1755. The city's historic center, situated on Las Siete Colinas, features steep streets and charming alleys. On the city's west side is Monsanto Forest Park, known as Lisbon's lung, which spans 10 km and is one of the largest in Europe. The capital's impressive port has three docks frequently used for various cruises and is currently the busiest port on the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is a city with centuries of history and an ambitious outlook, blending the historical with the modern, the traditional with the avant-garde. As you wander through the old quarters, you can hear the traditional Fado music being sung and played in small local restaurants. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with the sounds of jazz, reggae, and electronica filling the air and party-goers celebrating until dawn. Nightclubs scattered throughout the city creatively utilize old spaces, whether on riverside docks or tucked away in 18th-century mansions. Lisbon presents itself to the world as a cosmopolitan and vibrant city, offering something for everyone, especially during the summer months when its many bars, terraces, and restaurants are bustling with people.

Day 3

tangier, morocco

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Tangier, perched at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is one of Morocco’s most atmospheric gateways. Long a crossroads for traders, writers, and spies, the city blends North African tradition with European and Middle Eastern influences. Whitewashed houses climb the hills above the bay, palm trees line the avenues, and across the water you can glimpse the coast of Spain on a clear day. Start your visit in the old medina, a maze of narrow streets, blue-painted doors, and lively markets. Here you’ll find the Grand Socco, the bustling square that separates the medina from the modern city, and the Petit Socco, once the haunt of writers and artists. Climb to the Kasbah for panoramic views over the strait, then explore its quiet lanes, restored riads, and the Kasbah Museum, housed in a former sultan’s palace. Beyond the old town, Tangier’s modern side reveals wide boulevards, Belle Époque facades, and a long seafront promenade. Cafés like the historic Café Hafa, terraced above the cliffs, invite you to linger over mint tea while watching ferries come and go. Beachfront hotels, contemporary restaurants, and stylish bars make the city a comfortable base for both short stays and longer explorations. Tangier also serves as an ideal starting point for day trips. To the west, the dramatic Cap Spartel marks the official meeting of the seas, while the nearby Caves of Hercules combine myth and natural beauty. Inland, rolling hills give way to rural villages and forested landscapes. Whether you’re arriving from Europe or connecting to other Moroccan cities, Tangier offers a vivid introduction to the country’s culture, history, and coastal charm.

Day 5

cartagena, spain

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Cartagena is the main seaport of the Murcia region. It boasts an artistic legacy that encapsulates nearly three thousand years of Spanish history, having been inhabited by most of the great Mediterranean empires that have conquered the Iberian Peninsula at some point. Cartagena is a city rich in monuments, featuring numerous archaeological sites and remarkable buildings of historical interest, along with the allure of the sea and the typical hustle and bustle of a port city. The convergence of civilizations, its strategic harbor, and the rise of the local mining industry are reflected in its unique artistic heritage. This includes landmarks such as the Roman Theatre, the second largest on the Iberian Peninsula after the one in Mérida, a wealth of Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, and Moorish remains, and a multitude of Art Nouveau buildings, a result of the early 20th-century bourgeoisie. Today, Cartagena is a major cruise ship destination in the Mediterranean and an emerging cultural hub.

Day 6

alicante, spain

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

Located on the popular Costa Blanca, Alicante continues to attract tourists—probably because it still feels largely untouched by mass tourism. This beautiful, well-designed city is a hidden gem of Spain’s southern coast. Beyond its polished pedestrian walkways, you’ll find the bustling streets of the old town, nestled at the base of an impressive castle. With its drawbridges, moats, tunnels, and secret passageways, the Castillo de Santa Barbara is more than just another castle—it’s one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, offering sweeping views of the city and coastline. The Cathedral of San Nicolas de Bari is a great example of Spain’s austere Renaissance architecture, and it features a lovely cloister with intricately carved doors. Alicante also boasts some of the best nightlife in the region. El Puerto and El Barrio are among the liveliest areas in the city after dark, while the Esplanada is especially popular in the summer, as are the kiosks along Postiguet and San Juan beaches. With its beautiful sandy beaches, long waterfront, and mild, pleasant climate, Alicante truly has a Mediterranean vibe.
