Lisbon to Porto Private Transfer with Coimbra Tour

Summary

Luxury Portugal Transfer: Lisbon–Coimbra–Porto Route

If you want an easy way to travel between Lisbon and Porto—and see more than highways—this private transfer with a stop in Coimbra is worth it. You’ll get comfort, local insights from your driver, and time to explore one of Portugal’s oldest cities without any hassle.

What’s the experience like?

The morning air in Lisbon felt cool as our driver pulled up right outside our hotel—no need to drag bags down the street. We settled into the soft leather seats of a Mercedes E Class, water bottles already chilled and waiting for us. Our chauffeur, João, greeted us with a quick rundown of the route and some tips about where to grab coffee along the way (he swears by Café A Brasileira if you’re ever back in town).

We hit the road heading north, watching the city fade into rolling hills dotted with olive groves. About two hours later, we rolled into Coimbra. The old city sits above the Mondego River—there’s this faint scent of roasted chestnuts from a street vendor near the university steps, even in spring. João led us on a short panoramic drive before parking near the university gates. He pointed out Joanina Library’s ornate façade and shared how students still wear their black capes for graduation photos. We had just enough time to wander through narrow lanes and listen to church bells echo off ancient stone walls.

Back on the road, it was another hour or so until Porto. The scenery changed—vineyards started popping up on terraced hillsides as we got closer. João answered our questions about Douro wine and even suggested a few spots for dinner once we arrived in Porto’s center. The whole trip felt easy and personal—no crowded buses or rushed schedules, just space to enjoy Portugal at our own pace.
