After breakfast, transfer by coach to the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, home to the outstanding private collection of oil magnate, Calouste Gulbenkian. Landscaped gardens frame a striking concrete structure, which houses an impressive collection of Western and Eastern art. Beginning with treasures of Ancient Egypt, the museum is chronologically ordered, and highlights include a number of works by Old Masters such as Rubens and Rembrandt and an exquisite collection of pieces by the French jeweller and glassmaker René Lalique. Continue to the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, another wildly impressive collection of painting, decorative arts, sculpture and furniture, with works by Bosch, Dürer and Tiepolo to name a few. Transfer to Lisbon Cathedral, passing the wonderful exterior of the 16th-century palace, Casa dos Bicos, on the way, notable for its tactile spiked façade. The fortress-like cathedral was built in 1150 by Portugal’s first king on the site of a former mosque and portions of the original Late Romanesque structure survive. Our final stop of the day is the spectacular Castelo de Sāo Jorge, Lisbon’s Moorish pinnacle. Perched on the city’s highest hilltop, it is visible from almost every street below. Explore snaking ramparts, tranquil gardens and share in the expansive seaward views that inspired an empire. Afterwards, return to the hotel by coach for an evening at leisure.
