Lisbon
Vibrant and chaotic city will nearly 3m in population. 2nd oldest European capital after Athens. Western most large capital city and only one along the Atlantic.
- A lot of up and down hills
- Uber is available
- known for it’s decorative ceramic tiles on the buildings
- Great food
Belem area:
- Take the 15 trolley
- Visit the monastery in the afternoon as less busy with no tour buses
- Belem tour best seen from the inside, as not much on the inside and long lines
Sintra
- Train goes there every 20 minutes from Rossio train station. 30-40 minutes
- Have a plan, as very busy, long lines and traffic jams. Get you tickets in advance and book early
- We got a driver in a tuktuk and it was worth the convenience.
Enjoy the Lisbon area, great food (tons of restaurant options!), beautiful city and we had a great time!
