The Monastery of Batalha, a UNESCO World Heritage site, adds an architectural marvel to your morning, giving you a glimpse into Portugal’s Gothic past.

Afterward, the journey takes you westward to Nazaré, a vibrant fishing village that’s famous for its massive waves that attract surfers from across the globe. You’ll appreciate the scenic views en route and the opportunity to snap some memorable photos of the Atlantic Ocean’s power.
