Traveling from Porto to Lisbon

Hello! After spending 3 nights in Porto, my husband and I are driving mid-May from Porto to Lisbon. We have 3 nights before we need to arrive in Lisbon. What are your thoughts: 2 nights in the Douro Valley and 1 night in Coimbra or
1 night in the Douro Valley and 2 nights in Coimbra.
We then will have 4 nights in Lisbon.

Thanks for any help in making this decision.

It’s really a personal preference, but of your choices, I’d choose two nights in Coimbra.

I was going to suggest the opposite 2 nights in Douro. I liked Coimbra but it is another city. I would mix it up with a bit of countryside.
