What do our American travelers say?
The 14-day Portugal and Madeira itinerary at a glance
The route uses six bases and thirteen nights: two in Porto, two in the Douro Valley, two in Lisbon, two in Évora in the Alentejo, three on the Algarve coast and two in Funchal on Madeira. Eleven nights fall on the mainland and two on the island. The Algarve holds the extra night, so the south coast gives you two full days with no transfer, one for the western cape and one for whatever suits your party.
Every mainland leg runs by road, and the route never doubles back. Porto to the Douro takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to Peso da Régua. The Douro to Lisbon is the long drive of the trip, about 3 hours 30 minutes. Lisbon to Évora takes about 1 hour 35 minutes, with Sintra and the coast as a day out from Lisbon, and Évora to the Algarve about 2 hours 30 minutes. The one flight inside the trip links Faro and Funchal directly in about 1 hour 45 minutes. In Lisbon and Sintra a licensed guide works alongside a licensed driver. In Porto, the Douro, the Alentejo, the Algarve and on Madeira a licensed driver-guide, one person holding both licenses, looks after you.
April to June and September to October suit the route best. IPMA, Portugal’s weather institute, gives Porto a mean daily high of 17.6°C (about 64°F) in April and 23.4°C (about 74°F) in September, on its 1981 to 2010 averages. Lisbon reaches 19.8°C (about 68°F) in April and 26.6°C (about 80°F) in September. Faro, on the Algarve, runs from 20.4°C (about 69°F) in April to 26.6°C (about 80°F) in September, and Funchal on Madeira stays mild all year, at 20.6°C (about 69°F) in April and 26.4°C (about 80°F) in September.
Licensed guides we work with on this route include Susana and Tania in Porto, Luisa and Anabela in Lisbon, Isabel in Sintra, and Elsa and Nuno in Évora. Each is a highly educated local expert who cares about the people in their group. We request your guides by name, and your planner confirms who leads each day once your dates are set.
Why the route runs from Porto to the Algarve, then Madeira
The route starts in Porto, whose airport sits about 11 kilometers from the city center, and works south through every mainland region in order: the wine country of the north, the capital, the cork and olive country of the Alentejo, then the south coast. Each base sits a half-day drive or less from the last, so the transfers become part of the touring. The Algarve comes last on the mainland because Faro airport has the direct flight to Funchal, so the island follows without a return to Lisbon.
The angle is the whole country, mainland and island, in two weeks. The mainland gives you cities, vineyards, Roman stones and sea cliffs. Madeira closes the trip on a slower note, with water channels, laurel forest and mountain paths above Funchal. The route as written is a starting point, and our team shapes it around your dates and interests.

Route
Porto, Douro Valley, Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Évora, Alentejo, Algarve, Madeira
Your planner adjusts every day to your dates.
Day One
Arrival in Porto: São Bento, Lello and the Ribeira
Your licensed driver-guide meets you at Porto airport. In the afternoon, walk into São Bento station, where Jorge Colaço covered the hall with about 20,000 blue and white tiles, from a king's entry into Porto to the grape harvest. Nearby, the Bolhão market reopened in 2022 with fruit, fish and flowers on its ground floor. Our team books your entry to Livraria Lello, then the walk ends on the Ribeira below the two decks of the Luiz I Bridge.
Day Two
Porto from the River: Gaia Cellars and Serralves
The morning starts on the water, with a boat on the Douro under the city's bridges, between the stacked houses of the Ribeira and the port lodges on the far bank. In Vila Nova de Gaia, opt for a private tasting among the barrels in the cool of the lodge. In the afternoon, Serralves shows contemporary art in Álvaro Siza's white museum, set in a park around an Art Deco villa.
Day Three
Into the Douro Valley: Terraces and Pinhão
Head east into the Alto Douro, a UNESCO wine region, where terraces on walls of schist step from river to ridge. Where it suits your party, a walk on the trails between the vines replaces part of the drive, with the river below you. At Pinhão station, 24 tile panels from 1937 show the harvest and the rabelo boats carrying wine downriver. The evening belongs to your hotel among the vineyards.
Day Four
Douro Valley: Rabelo, Balloon or Quinta
Today you choose the shape of the day. Opt for a rabelo boat on the river, the flat-bottomed kind once used to carry port down to Porto, then a walk through the river towns. On request, a hot-air balloon lifts off over the valley at dawn, or a guided hike follows old paths between the quintas. Wine lovers opt for a family estate, with a walk through the vines and a tasting on a terrace above the water.
Day Five
South to Lisbon: Belém and Alfama
A long road day brings you south to Lisbon, and the afternoon belongs to the capital. Where your dates allow, Luisa, one of our licensed guides in Lisbon and Sintra, starts in Belém at the Jerónimos Monastery, where Vasco da Gama lies, and the Belém Tower, with a stone rhinoceros under one watchtower. Next door, custard tarts come warm with cinnamon, as they have since 1837. At dusk, the lanes of the Alfama drop from São Jorge Castle to the river.
Day Six
Sintra, Cabo da Roca and the Cascais Coast with Luisa
Where your dates allow, Luisa leads the day. Above Sintra, King Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into the Pena Palace, and in the old town, Piriquita bakes travesseiros, pillows of puff pastry around an egg and almond filling. West of Sintra, the village of Azenhas do Mar stands on a cliff above the Atlantic. At Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, the wind comes off the ocean and the sea booms below. The road ends in Cascais.
Day Seven
Évora and the Alentejo
Head east into the Alentejo, a region of cork oaks, olive groves and vineyards. In UNESCO-listed Évora, lime-washed houses keep their painted tiles and wrought-iron balconies. At the top of town stands a Roman temple of the first century, which survived because it served as a butcher's shop for about 500 years. Lunch brings Alentejo cooking, such as pork from black Iberian pigs, which feed on acorns under the cork oaks.
Day Eight
Alentejo: Cork, Megaliths, Monsaraz and the Stars
Your licensed driver-guide shapes the day to your party. Walk in a cork oak forest and see how harvesters strip the bark about every nine years, then visit the Almendres Cromlech, about 95 granite stones raised by Neolithic builders. To the east, the walled village of Monsaraz looks over the Alqueva lake toward Spain. After dark, under the first certified Starlight Tourism Destination in the world, opt for a stargazing session with telescopes. A winery visit takes the place of any of these on request.
Day Nine
To the Algarve: Benagil and the Seven Hanging Valleys
Drive south to the Algarve coast. Near the fishing hamlet of Benagil, the sea has worn a cave from the side and from above, and sunlight falls through the hole in its roof onto a hidden beach. Where it suits your party, a licensed boat takes you inside. On the clifftops above, the Seven Hanging Valleys trail runs from Praia da Marinha past Benagil, with green water in the coves below and gulls along the cliffs.
Day Ten
Cape St. Vincent, Sagres and the Western Algarve
Head west to Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe, where cliffs rise almost straight from the Atlantic and a lighthouse from 1846 stands over the ruins of a Franciscan convent. On the way back, stop in a fishing village for lunch and try clams cooked in a cataplana, a hinged copper pan shaped like two clamshells. In the afternoon, opt for a guided hike on the coastal trails or a mountain bike route.
Day Eleven
The Algarve at Your Pace: Dolphins, Monchique or Golf
Today runs your way. Opt for a boat from the marina to look for dolphins, or a slower trip along the shore for its seabirds. Inland, the Serra de Monchique rises to Fóia, the highest point of the Algarve, with the Atlantic in view on clear days. Below it, the spa village of Caldas de Monchique, once a royal retreat, offers a spa session on request. Golfers spend the day on one of the region's courses, and surfers head for the west coast.
Day Twelve
Flight to Madeira: Funchal and Pico dos Barcelos
Fly to Madeira, and the afternoon belongs to Funchal, named for the wild fennel, funcho, which grew on its slopes. Your licensed driver-guide climbs first to the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, where the city falls away to the bay. In town, the Mercado dos Lavradores sells fruit, flowers and fish behind Art Deco tile panels, and the Botanical Garden follows where time allows. For dinner, try espetada, beef on bay laurel skewers, with bolo do caco, the island's warm flatbread.
Day Thirteen
Madeira: Levadas, Laurel Forest and Pico Ruivo
UNESCO listed the laurel forest of Madeira in 1999, the largest surviving stretch of a forest once widespread across the region. Islanders cut levadas, water channels, from the 16th century onward, and their paths now serve as walking trails. Walkers opt for the mountain trail from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo, the island's highest peak, or a level levada through the forest, with the water running beside the path. Your licensed driver-guide sets a picnic of local bread, cheese and fruit in the hills.
Day Fourteen
Departure from Madeira
Madeira's runway rests in part on a platform of 180 columns over the ocean. A morning flight leaves time for a last coffee with a view of the bay, and a later one for a walk along the Funchal seafront or a final visit to the market. Your licensed driver-guide collects you at a time set around your flight.

What does a 14 day Portugal itinerary with Madeira look like?
A 14 day Portugal itinerary with Madeira spends eleven days on the mainland, north to south, and the last three on the island. This route gives Porto two nights, the Douro Valley two, Lisbon two, Évora two and the Algarve three, then flies from Faro to Funchal for two nights on Madeira. Every mainland transfer runs by road with your guide or driver-guide, so the only flight inside the trip carries you out to the Atlantic. You see the port cellars and terraced vineyards of the north, Lisbon and Sintra, the Roman temple of Évora, the cliffs and caves of the Algarve, and the levadas and peaks of Madeira.
How many days do you need in Madeira?
Two nights give you the essentials of Madeira: an afternoon in Funchal on arrival and one full day in the mountains and the laurel forest. This route follows the pattern, with Pico dos Barcelos, the market and the botanical garden on day twelve and a levada walk or the trail to Pico Ruivo on day thirteen. A third night adds a second walking day, a day on the north coast, or a slower morning in Funchal before the flight. Walkers who come mainly for the levadas often choose three or four nights. Our Madeira destination guide sets out what else the island offers, and our Madeira seasonal weather guide covers it month by month.
How do you get from the Algarve to Madeira?
A direct flight links Faro and Funchal in about 1 hour 45 minutes, and TAP flies the route on several days of the week. On those days your licensed driver-guide drives you from the Algarve coast to Faro airport, and a licensed driver-guide meets you on Madeira. On other days the connection runs through Lisbon, which has frequent flights to Funchal. Madeira lies about 940 kilometers from Faro, out in the Atlantic, and our team sets the Algarve nights around the flight days so the island follows without a lost day.
Fourteen days with Madeira, or another Portugal route?
This route suits travelers who want the whole mainland, from the Douro to the Algarve, and a short stay on an Atlantic island at the end. Another MPT route serves you better in four cases.
Without the island, the 10-day Portugal Signature journey follows the same mainland line, Porto, the Douro, Lisbon, Évora and the Algarve, and ends after the south coast. Choose it when the calendar is tighter, or when beaches and wine matter more to you than mountain walks.
For island hopping, the 14-day Portugal private custom tour gives two days to Lisbon and the rest to four of the Azores: Terceira, Faial, São Jorge and São Miguel. Choose it when volcanic islands and the open Atlantic draw you more than the mainland. With three weeks, the 21-day Portugal tour with the Azores adds Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, Coimbra and an Alentejo estate to a mainland route much like this one, and ends on the Azores.
If Spain belongs on the same trip, the 16-day Spain and Portugal tour with Mallorca and Madeira pairs Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Lisbon and Porto with one island in each country. Every Portugal route sits on our Portugal destination page.
Who this journey suits
American travelers who want the whole of mainland Portugal in one trip, north to south, with two or three nights in each base and a single flight.
Couples who like to end a trip somewhere quieter, with a mountain walk, a garden and a long dinner in Funchal.
Walkers, since the route holds vineyard trails in the Douro, the Seven Hanging Valleys trail on the Algarve and a levada or mountain path on Madeira, each at the pace of your party.
Wine travelers, with port in the cellars of Gaia, family quintas in the Douro and an Alentejo winery on request.
Families with teenage or adult children, who mix boats, caves, palaces, stargazing and beaches across the two weeks.
Returning visitors who know Lisbon and Porto and want the Alentejo, the Algarve and Madeira as well.
The people behind the route
Luisa, one of our licensed guides in Lisbon and Sintra, leads the Lisbon and Sintra days where your dates allow. She works alongside a licensed driver, so the walking parts of the day start where the car drops you, from Belém and the lanes of Alfama to the old town of Sintra. She knows the order of monuments, viewpoints and pastry shops to suit the hour and the season, and she shapes the Belém afternoon around your arrival from the Douro. North and south of Lisbon, and on Madeira, a licensed driver-guide holds both licenses, drives the car and leads the visits, so one person stays with you through each region.
What the 14-day journey costs and what it includes
This 14-day journey starts from $12,376 per person, double occupancy. The from-price covers thirteen nights in deluxe four-star properties selected for comfort, location and service. Five-star luxury properties are available by request. It also covers Luisa and a licensed driver in Lisbon and Sintra, licensed driver-guides in Porto, the Douro, the Alentejo, the Algarve and on Madeira, private vehicles for every transfer and excursion, and the planning and in-country support of our team.
What moves the price: travel dates and season, hotel category, the size of your party, single rooms, and added private experiences such as a rabelo boat or a hot-air balloon in the Douro, a stargazing session in the Alentejo, a boat into the Benagil cave, a spa afternoon in Monchique, golf on the Algarve or a third night on Madeira. Magical Private Travel maintains excellent ratings on Trustpilot and Google’s independent review platforms. Our team prices each journey to your dates and party.

Questions about the 14-day Portugal and Madeira tour
Is two weeks enough for mainland Portugal and Madeira?
Two weeks covers the mainland from north to south and two nights on Madeira at a steady pace, with no one-night stops. The route gives Porto, the Douro Valley, Lisbon and Évora two nights each and the Algarve three, so each base has at least one full day without a transfer. The longest drive, from the Douro to Lisbon, takes about three and a half hours, and the only flight inside the trip links Faro and Funchal in about 1 hour 45 minutes. Two weeks leaves out Coimbra, Braga, Guimarães and the Azores, and gives Madeira its essentials rather than its whole coastline. Travelers who want more of the island add a third night there, and those who want the north in more depth look at our 21-day Portugal route.
When is the best time for a Portugal and Madeira trip?
April to June and September to October suit this route best. IPMA, Portugal’s weather institute, gives Porto a mean daily high of 17.6°C (about 64°F) in April and 23.4°C (about 74°F) in September, on its 1981 to 2010 averages. Lisbon reaches 19.8°C (about 68°F) in April and 25.7°C (about 78°F) in June. Faro on the Algarve runs from 20.4°C (about 69°F) in April to 29.2°C (about 85°F) in July and 23.2°C (about 74°F) in October. Funchal on Madeira changes little through the year, from 19.7°C (about 67°F) in January to 26.4°C (about 80°F) in August and September, so the island suits every season. September and early October fall in the Douro harvest, when the quintas pick and tread their grapes. In July and August our team schedules the walking hours early and late in the day.
Who guides and drives us on the 14-day tour?
In Lisbon and Sintra, where your dates allow, Luisa, one of our licensed guides, leads the touring days and works alongside a licensed driver, two separate people. In Porto, the Douro Valley, the Alentejo, the Algarve and on Madeira, a licensed driver-guide looks after you, one person holding both licenses who drives the car and leads the visits. A licensed driver-guide also drives the long road day from the Douro to Lisbon and hands you to Luisa in Belém. Every transfer runs by private vehicle for your own party, from the Porto airport pickup to the Madeira airport drop-off. Our team plans the whole route, books site entries such as Livraria Lello, and stays in contact through the two weeks.
Why sleep two nights in the Douro Valley?
Two nights among the vineyards give the Douro a full day of its own, with no return drive to Porto. Day three follows the river east to Peso da Régua and Pinhão, about 1 hour 15 minutes from Porto by road, with a walk between the terraces on the way. Day four is free for the valley itself: a rabelo boat on the river, a hot-air balloon at dawn, a hike between the quintas or a day at family estates with lunch. The valley evenings are quiet, with the river below and the terraces stepping up the slopes. From the Douro the route drives straight south to Lisbon, so the two nights cost no extra travel time.
How does the Benagil cave visit work?
The Algar de Benagil sits in the cliffs near the hamlet of Benagil, between Lagos and Albufeira, and a hole in its roof lights a small beach inside. Licensed boat tours enter the cave for a short visit, and the rules give each boat a few minutes inside, so the visit forms one part of the day rather than the whole of it. Where it suits your party, your licensed driver-guide arranges a private boat from the nearby coast. The rest of the day follows the clifftop trail of the Seven Hanging Valleys, about 5.7 kilometers from Praia da Marinha, which looks down on the same coast from above. Calm seas suit the boat best, and your driver-guide moves it to another Algarve day when the forecast favors one.
How much walking does the itinerary involve?
As much or as little as your party prefers. The Douro walks run on trails between the vineyards, and your driver-guide sets the distance. On the Algarve, the Seven Hanging Valleys trail runs about 5.7 kilometers along the clifftops, and shorter stretches suit an easier day. On Madeira, the trail from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo runs about 7 kilometers and about 3 hours 30 minutes and suits regular walkers, while the path from Achada do Teixeira reaches the summit in about 2.8 kilometers. Many levadas run almost level beside the water. City days involve cobbled slopes in Porto, Alfama and Sintra. Your guide is glad to advise on suitability before booking, and our page on accessible travel sets out how our team plans for travelers who need step-free routes or extra support.
Should we fly home from Madeira or from the mainland?
The route as written ends on Madeira, and Funchal airport has direct flights to Lisbon and Porto, so a connection home runs through either city. In summer, United has flown nonstop between Newark and Funchal three times a week, which suits travelers from the east coast of the United States. Some travelers prefer to end the trip with a last night in Lisbon or Porto before the long flight, which turns the route into fifteen days. Others reverse the island and the mainland, flying into Funchal first and ending in Porto. Our team matches the order to your flights once you choose them, and the day plan moves with it. For the mainland gateway, our note on flying into Lisbon or Porto weighs the two airports in more detail.
Is a third night on Madeira worth adding?
For walkers and garden lovers, yes. Two nights give one afternoon in Funchal and one full day in the mountains, and a third night adds a second full day. Travelers use it for a second levada through the laurel forest, the north coast and its villages, or a slow morning in Funchal with the market and the botanical garden. The extra night turns the route into fifteen days, or keeps it at fourteen when one Algarve night moves to the island. Our Madeira destination guide sets out the options in more detail.
Is the 14-day route fixed?
The route as written shows one balanced order of bases, and our team shortens, extends or reorders it around your dates, interests and pace. Common changes include a night in Porto in place of one Douro night, a stop in Coimbra on the drive south, a third night on Madeira, or a different Algarve base for golf or beaches. Each change keeps the same principle of few hotel changes and one long road day at most. Guides, driver-guides and site entries all move with the change, so you receive a revised day-by-day plan and price before you commit.
Who do we contact if something goes wrong or we want a change?
Your planner designs your journey with you and stays in touch after you land. For the fastest response at any hour, message your private WhatsApp group, where our 24/7 support team works alongside Rachel or Dan. Because we begin no more than five journeys per country each week, peak spring and fall dates fill early, and that limit is what lets us stay this close to every trip.
We keep a list of vetted four- and five-star hotels, well located and enjoyed by our past travelers and by our own team.
