Trip Summary
3 nights in Amsterdam
Easygoing, liberal Amsterdam is "different." Its citizens, bubbling along happily in their multiracial melting pot, are not so easily poured into the restrictive molds of trade and industry. More important, you can enjoy Amsterdam, its culture, history, and beauty, without stretching the limits of your credit cards. Few skyscrapers mar the clarity of the sky and the populace mostly walks or bikes from place to place. The historic center recalls Amsterdam's Golden Age as the command post of a vast trading network and colonial empire, when wealthy merchants constructed gabled residences along neatly laid-out canals.
Visit Dam Square, Anne Frank House, Bloemenmarkt, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Canal Belt, Jordaan, Red Light District and so much more!
3 nights in Lisbon
Lisbon, a dazzling city stretching along Tagus river, makes an enchanting European capital. Its nucleus, an ancient fortress, is now circled by neighborhoods drenched with medieval charm. Handcrafts - from embroidery to leatherwork - are peddled right on the streets. At night, yellow electric tramcars continue to wind their way up and down the hills in the sound of traditional Fado songs. Ample opportunities exist for seeing popular celebrations, for shopping, and for enjoying the nightlife along the riverbank.
Visit Alfama, Baixa and Chiado, Se de Lisboa, Sao Roque Church, Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, Torre de Belem, Discoveries Monument, Museu Nacional dos Coches, Parque das Nacos, Elevador de Santa Justa, Tram 28 and so much more!
2 nights in Santa Maria (Sal Island)
Sal Island is a stunning tropical beach destination amongst the archipelago that juts out of the Atlantic off the West Coast of Africa. Famed for its wind and waves where kitesurfing, surfing, and windsurfing are popular pastimes with miles of breathtaking beaches for lazy beach holidays. The island boasts over 350 days of sunshine with luxurious western-style resorts dotted along the coastline. Travelers can experience the 'Blue Eye' at Buracona, the Salt Lake, and vibrant traditional fishing villages in a beachside atmosphere.
Visit and explore the Blue Eye at Buracona, Pedra Lume Salt Crater, Santa Maria Beach, Kite Beach, and so much more.
Thousands of years of history are on full display in vibrant <b>Portugal</b>, fast becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in western Europe. Each region of Portugal offers something unique to the traveler, like unparalleled beaches and resorts in the Algarve; rolling plains that lead to mountains in the Alentejo; delicious food and drink in the Minho and the Douro River Valley; and of course the country`s bustling capital, Lisbon, which boasts the best of everything that Portugal has to offer, from restaurants to historical landmarks.
<b>The Netherlands</b> (or Holland) may be a small country, but it`s filled with world-famous icons. This country is famous for its bulb fields, windmills, cheese markets, wooden shoes, canals of Amsterdam, masterpieces of Old Masters, Delft Blue earthenware, innovative water management, and millions of bicycles. As you explore the Netherlands you`ll find photogenic spots at every nook and cranny, a hipster coffee scene, an up and coming food scene, and loads of wonderful museums. While its most well-known city is Amsterdam, there are plenty of other beautiful cities that you will want to explore as well.
<b>Cape Verde</b>, a chain of islands off the western coast of Africa, were unpopulated until the Portuguese colonized it in the 15th century, and Portuguese colonial influence can still be felt today. Sao Vicente and Sal are the two principal islands in the chain: Sao Vicente is home to the country's two largest cities and tourism centers, Praia and Mindelo. Sal Island, known for its white sandy beaches, is one of the most wondrous island destinations to explore, starting with Santa Maria and traveling north to its capital, Espargos.
