Dinner at Hotel restaurant It is located on the ground floor of the Bairro Alto Hotel with spacious Windows looking into Luís de Camões Square and Rua das Flores, right at the heart of the city. Plenty of options to choose from and dishes to share, in a genuine “bairro” kitchen, with a relaxed and casual yet elegant environment. Colour and a warmer lighting make the space more welcoming. Fabrics range from leather to flower and herringbone patterns, creating a very contemporary space. The window screens provide privacy without eliminating the view to the outside and suggest a more intimate space. This space will simultaneously transport you into the past and into the present. 2nd day Tram tour & Boat Cruise with lunch onboard in Tejo river (meet the city by land & sea) Take an old-style tram and rattle around some of the most interesting parts of Lisbon. See major landmarks such as the imposing Castle of São Jorge, once a Moorish royal residence, and Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa, Lisbon’s cathedral. Marvel at the many faces of this richly diverse city. Contrast the old-fashioned village atmosphere of medieval Alfama with the sophistication of upmarket Chiado. Compare the tangled maze of streets and buildings of Mouraria with the grandeur and opulence of Laba. There are not many places in Europe where you can still ride a tramcar. Going by tram is not only a wonderful way to see Lisbon, it is also a lot of fun! Cruise on the margins of the Tagus, from where you can gain a different view of the Lisbon monuments and old districts. (Tower of Belem, Padrao dos Descobrimentos Monument, 25 de Abril Bridge, Cristo Rei Statue, Jeronimos Monastery, S. Jorge Castle, Praca do Comercio, National Pantheon, Lisbon Cathedral) Lunch on board – barbecue style accompanied by all the Portuguese delicacies. Wine tasting at Solar do Vinho do Porto The Solar in Lisbon is located on the Rua de S. Pedro de Alcântara, in the Bairro Alto, right in the heart of one of the most typical neighborhoods of the city.

Here, in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, the visitor is offered a range of types and brands of Port Wine to taste or, in the case of the connoisseur, the Port Wine of his choice. Dinner in the City This restaurant opened in 1958 in Chiado, in the trendy São Carlos square next to the São Carlos National Theatre and the house where Fernando Pessoa was born. Its singular location at the historic center of Lisbon, its sober, sophisticated atmosphere, the discrete and attentive service, and the delights at its cuisine, soon won over Lisbon's elite who turned it into the place to be seen. In November 2012, the restaurant celebrated being awarded a Michelin Star. The restaurant team share their inspirations, emotions and concerns through their culinary representations and illusions. Each dish tells a story and sets out to stir the emotions of those willing to try it. 3rd day Round at Oitavos Dunes The focal point of Quinta da Marinha is the Championship golf course Oitavos Golf, designed by Arthur Hills. As the course became recognized internationally as a Links experience, the decision was made to change the name to Oitavos Dunes to reflect the natural sand dunes, impacts of the Ocean and Scottish like playing conditions, which all contribute to the way many view Oitavos Dunes as "Natural Links Golf." Last September 2011 Oitavos Dunes jumped 20 places up the list to be considered the 68th best course in the world and the second best in mainland Europe. The recognition is a result of 15 minor changes to the course, including new tees on holes 7 and 9, and the placement of sand dunes in strategic holes such as the 10th. Transfer and Check-in at Senhora da Guia Enjoy the elegance, discrete luxury, and cozy atmosphere of the Boutique Hotel Senhora da Guia! Each of the three buildings making up Senhora da Guia is charming in its own right.

The third, terra cotta colored part of the hotel is built around a courtyard with a delightful little fountain. The three parts of the hotel are connected by gardens and terraces. The ambience is incredibly warm and welcoming! Dinner by the Sea Taste the exquisite and inspired cuisine of Antoine Westermann, acclaimed 3 Michelin Star Chef. The menus reflect the richness and tradition of French cuisine, with a Portuguese accent.
