We’re dreaming up a first big trip linking Portugal, Spain and Morocco and I’m nervous we’re being too ambitious. The rough plan is a few days in Lisbon, down to Seville, then over to Marrakech with a night in the desert before flying home - about two weeks. Is that a sensible loop for a first go, or are we setting ourselves up to be worn out? For those who’ve linked the three, would you keep it as is or drop one? ---

**Seriously**? Of course it’s doable, if you like **travelling** but not really visiting the countries. **I have visited all three** , but it took a little longer than two weeks. If it’s just about an ‘open-jaw’ (into Portugal and out of Morocco), highlights ‘taster’, I’d cut Lisbon’s three days and hit Porto as well. > **[10 Best Portugal Tours & Trips 2026/2027 - TourRadar](https://www.tourradar.com/d/portugal?utm_source=partner-travelnotes&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=Portugal)** > > TourRadar has the best selection of tours for discovering Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve, as well as less famous spots such as Sintra and Cascais.

Hi Kristin. We haven’t done those three together, but went to Lisbon and more of Portugal as well as Seville and more of Spain, not to mention parts of France. It was too busy, with frequent moving around with luggage, unpacking and packing, instead of enjoying wherever we were… This year, we adjusted to spend more time in any city, with some day trips to see the surrounding area. And our experience was markedly better. My recommendation is to spend your two weeks in Lisbon and Seville, with some day trips. Or alternatively, spend the time visiting more of Morocco (Marrakech, Casablanca and Tangiers and parts on between). The fact that your big first trip is to Europe or Africa (Morocco) is already ambitious, but trying to do it all will only check off a list, and not necessarily make the experiences and memories that would last a lifetime. That my idea, but my first few trips were always too rushed, trying to see and do everything possible no matter the amount of running around. I appreciate the in-depth visits more now. Imagine having the time to lounge at a cafe, have a cool drink, and watch the world go by and enjoy that feeling of actually being present. Good luck, I hope you get it figured out. Pierre ---

I’d agree that it might feel a bit rushed — you’d get a much richer experience with more time in each place. I did just Morocco on its own — only the desert and the Atlantic coast, not even the north — over 11 days, and even that felt fast at times. Personally, I’d split it into two separate trips: either Spain alone or Portugal and Spain together first, then dedicate a separate trip entirely to Morocco. That way you can really do each destination justice without feeling like you’re constantly on the move. It all depends on what’s top of your list right now!
