Happy travel!Thank you so much for sharing this Annie! I’m planning a short trip to Portugal in May and want to do Lisbon and Lagos. I suggest you take a look at Back to Lisbon to catch our flight the next morning, we explored It was a Sunday and, if I can give you one advice: don’t go there during the weekend!It was a very hot day and we consumed a shameful amount of ice-cream and lemonade and we said goodbye to Portugal.To avoid the stress of booking last-minute bus tickets, I would suggest to It’s easy to withdraw cash in Portugal or to pay by card. Confirm your email and we’ll get you off and running. I always try to pick the less expensive flights and that generally means at least one stop. Ahah!There are more than 10 beaches in the small town and you quickly feel at home. This 7 day Portugal itinerary covers most of the places mentioned above, but will require a faster pace and fewer sleep-ins! So looking forward to our trip. Water was cold at the beginning of June. Absolutely not!
With just a few days, I would do Lisbon-Sintra-Porto… or maybe even just Lisbon and Sintra.Thank you Annie for your detailed and great trip report. I traveled mainly in buses during my trip in Portugal.Thanks Annie, this is super useful as I am going to Portugal in September for the first time! Suggested Itineraries in Portugal Portugal is a relatively compact country, and major road investments over the past few decades mean fast highways have cut driving times even to the most remote regions. :) If you don’t find an easy way to go to Lagos from Lisbon, I would suggest to go to Faro, which is a little more popular, and than go to Lagos from there. Will it be easy with kids ‘(we’ve done one monthe in germany with them last sumemr without any problem).We are also from Montreal, I guess you’ve been with Transat, how was the flight ?

I’m leaving to Portugal from Montréal too in a little over a month and we just started making our itinerary so this has definitely helped us!Hi Bianca! Answer 1 of 10: Hi, We are a family of five (kids 11, 12 and 13) looking for advice for our upcoming 8 night holida (in May). Did you get there by train/bus? We are using Airbnb, I would like to bring a gift from Canada to our hosts and was wondering if you knew of anything we could bring over to them.Thanks! You will love Portugal! Portugal has one of the most beautiful architectural styles in Europe!I agree! I can count on one hand the number of direct flights I took during my life and I can’t say how grateful I was about that one. Personally, I traveled through Portugal by train and by bus. Also, it depends where you go. Je suis Annie. Such history.Hi, Annie! We’re looking at going on February and I’ thinking it may be a bit too chilly. This small village is the perfect place for a time-travel to middle age and to drink One thing I learned in Portugal is that even if it’s small, it can sometimes be very long to travel by bus! Well… it depends if you are the beach type.
