Curator’s statement
Portugal is one of those places that truly comes alive beyond what you see. It’s in the rhythm of the trams, the taste of fresh pastries, the sound of Fado echoing through the night. For travelers with low vision, it offers so many ways to connect through touch, sound, and flavor. I love how naturally sensory this country is, inviting you to explore with curiosity and presence. This trip was designed so every traveler can fully experience Portugal, not just visit it.

Where to stay in Portugal
Unlock perks by contacting Linsay to book your trip.
Portugal is one of those destinations that wraps you in warmth the moment you arrive, from the friendly “bom dia” of your hotel host to the smell of roasted coffee drifting from a nearby café. The country naturally lends itself to tactile, auditory, and sensory exploration. It's feeling the cool tilework of ancient palaces, listening to live Fado music in an intimate restaurant, or tasting the buttery sweetness of a freshly baked pastel de nata. Every moment in Portugal seems to invite you to slow down and savor.
The fountain at Rossio Square in Lisbon
Hotel Pestana CR7 Lisboa is right in the middle of the city, making it very accessible for moving around and stepping into the heart of Lisbon at any time. I also work closely with trained guides and local experts, ensuring every experience is rich, safe, and meaningful.
Lisbon, the capital, is full of character and history but still feels personal and inviting. Exploring its cobbled streets with a local guide brings the city’s stories to life through rich description and sensory detail. Belém, with its maritime monuments and the world-famous Pastel de Belém, is a highlight for anyone who wants to taste a bit of Portuguese history. Then there’s Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels straight out of a fairytale, where the scent of pine trees mixes with salty Atlantic air and every corner holds a story of royalty and romance.
Paint your own unique tile to take home as souvenir. They are tactile and support is offered with the coloring.
What makes this trip stand out is its thoughtful accessibility. It’s perfect for blind or low vision travelers looking to explore confidently and comfortably, but also for anyone who wants to travel in a slower, more sensory way. Portugal has a special kind of magic and this itinerary lets you experience it fully, in every sense of the word.
The Fado music is truly emotional. We will provide translations to get a good grip of the emotions in the music. And you will be able to touch the instruments that are truly unique to Portugal.
