Obidos or another town near Lisbon? Went to Lisbon last year and absolutely loved it. Flying into Lisbon for 3 nights on the back side of another trip. Instead of staying in Lisbon again I’m looking to stay somewhere about an hour away for a different experience. After a little research I’m thinking of staying in Óbidos. Looks like a cool town plus close to beaches. Ideally I’m lo…

8 days in Portugal: Porto, Lisbon and Algarve? Me and my bf (23) have planned to go to Portugal at the beginning of September. We have 8 days (9 nights) and we’re thinking of spending them between Porto, Lisbon and the Algarve, also because while we both agreed on Lisbon, he prefers Porto while I am more interested in the Algarve. We know it could be a bit too rushed, but we thought it could…

Portugal trains – Porto – Coimbra – Lisbon Hey guys, Bit of a small and boring question, but just want to know how best do it. So I’ll be in Porto in July and fly outta Lisbon. I will catch the train to Lisbon but I wanna leap off at Coimbra to look around for half a day or so, and then jump on a train to Lisbon in the evening. 1) Do I book these two trains? 2) Do I just jump on and of…

Portugal: train from Lisbon to Albufeira I used a travel agent (located out of the US) to book hotels and trains, so all of our communication has been in email. We are traveling from Lisbon (Lisboa-Oriente station) to Pine Cliff Resort in Albufeira. He booked our ticket to depart the train in Faro. But it seems that there’s a station called Albufeira-Ferreiras, which is closer to our h…

Some colors of Lisbon, Portugal Some pictures of the beautiful colors in and around Lisbon from my travels last week. It’s a beautiful city, but be ready to walk and climb. A LOT! It has delicious and surprisingly cheap food everywhere, so you’ll definitely be well-fed to take all those steps though 😄 submitted by /u/thatphotoguy89

Recommendations for Lisbon and Porto Been to both cities about 8 years ago, but was a but disorganized back then. Going again in a few weeks and am going to spend a few days in each city and, possibly, a night or two in Coimbra.

For reference, we’ll be staying close to Jardim Botanico de Lisb…

My partner and I have been looking forward to our trip to Portugal for a long time – and when we arrived yesterday, within our first hour at the airport, we got scammed by a cab driver who promised that they would charge the same flat rate (or similar) to an Uber. We took the taxi cab from the airport down to Costa Da Caparica – a 35 minute dri…

Student exchange in Lisbon or Ljubljana? Hello travelers! I’m doing erasmus exchange from February 2024 and I’m having a hard time choosing between Lisbon and Ljubljana. Ljubljana gets some points just because it seems more peaceful, not overcrowded, smaller community… Also better location to travel to other places (+ Slovenia itself is a beautiful country). On the other hand, Lisbon…
