Portugal Itinerary Help Will be in Portugal for 7 days this October. I know that isn’t a lot of time which is why I’m trying to maximize the experience without burning myself out. The tentative schedule is 3 days in Lisbon, 1 in Cascais (as a base for Sintra and the palaces), and 3 in Porto. Given the 40+ minute train ride between Lisbon and Cascais, I chose to forego …

Traveling Portugal? Check out Monchique! I’m traveling Portugal at the moment with a friend and wanted to recommend an AMAZING village in the mountains for a day trip: Monchique.

Advice for trip to Portugal Hi! For a bit of context, I (26M) have travelled to different places in Europe with either friends or family and I’m usually the one who plans everything out and books everything (Austria, Switzerland, Rome, Genoa, Nice, Marseille, Barcelona, Madrid). However this time no one was free for a quick getaway so I decided to go for a solo trip for 7-…

Portugal travel: drive or public transport? Hi there, I am used to Canadian driving so I don’t know how it would be to drive in Portugal. I am super comfortable with highways but lack experience with roundabouts. We are considering renting a car in Faro and driving up to Lagos, Albuferia and Lisbon. Please suggest if that might not be a good idea and if we should just rely on public trans…

Landing in Lisbon and departing from Lisbon (I would’ve preferred to fly out of Porto but I preemptively bought the ticket already- so I have to backtrack) Anyways- 26M- I prioritize architecture, nature and food.

Paris or Portugal? Which would you choose? My wife and I are going to do a week in one of these places in early January. My wife has been to Paris but I have not. She was obviously very impressed by it and is happily willing to visit again. We would also go to Normandy and Omaha Beach while there as I am a bit of a history buff. Feeling bad that she would have to do a trip she’s already…

Portugal in September First timer to Portugal looking for itinerary suggestions from those who have been! I’m headed to Portugal in early September and based on my research, the weather should still be warm.

Portugal in February? My cousin and I are trying to plan a Portugal trip next year and it seems like February would be best based on our goals. TLDR of course it’d be cheaper in off season, but we realize it’s called off season for a reason. Is it worth it to pay more and go June 2025? The biggest benefit is that the flights are 200-300 cheaper (from Buffalo to Lisbo…

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…
