Hi All,
Planning trip to Portugal in late April/early May - post vaccination effort, otherwise it is a no-go.
Current plan is to meet friends in Porto end of April 2021 (they are coming off a bike cruise in Porto), then 4-5 days in:
1. Matosinhos
2. Viana do Castelo
3. Coimbra
4. Lazare
5. Lison prior to departure
BUT, we want to do a river cruise by ourselves in Germany on the way to Porto or after leaving Lisbon.
Any advice on:
1. River cruise timing - before or after Portugal route?
2. Locations in Portugal chosen (some tough choices)?
3. Flow of events re airlines - best solution?
4. Do we need to stay closer to Lisbon airport (someone gave us GREAT advice two years ago on staying at Hilton at Rome airport the night prior to departure - waaaaaay easier)
Thanks - as always!
