BUS INFO

From Madrid, Eurolines/Internorte runs daily via Guarda to Porto (41 one way, 8 hours) and
also via Badajoz and vora to Lisbon (41, eight hours); twice weekly, the Lisbon service starts
from Barcelona (84, 18 hours). The Spanish lines AutoRes (902 02 09 99; www.auto-res.net)
and Alsa (913 27 05 40; www.alsa.es) each have regular MadridLisbon services (38).
Bus & tram
Bus
A host of small private bus operators, most amalgamated into regional companies, run a dense network
of services across the country. Among the largest companies are Rede Expressos (707 223
344; www.rede-expressos.pt), Rodonorte (www.rodonorte.pt) and the Algarve line Eva (289 899
760; www.eva-bus.com).
Bus services are of three general types: expressos are comfortable, fast buses between major
cities, rpidas are quick regional buses, and carreiras, marked CR, stop at every crossroad (never mind
that carreiras means something like in a hurry in Portuguese). Some companies also offer a fast deluxe
category called alta qualidade.
Even in summer youll have little problem booking an expresso ticket for the same or next day. A Lisbon
Faro express bus takes four hours and costs 15; LisbonPorto takes 3 hours for 13.50 or more. By
contrast, local services, can thin out to almost nothing on weekends, especially in summer when school is
out.
An under-26 card should get you a discount of around 20%, at least on the long-distance services. Senior
travellers can often get up to 50% off.
Dont rely on turismos for accurate timetable information. Most bus-station ticket desks will give you a
little computer print-out of fares and all services.
Bus
Except in Lisbon or Porto theres little reason to take municipal buses, as most attractions are within
walking distance. .

Day 1: Start your day downtown, down Avenida da Liberdade to Rossio Square before
strolling through the pedestrianised Rua Augusta to Comercio Square, where you can
hop on tram 15 to Belem. Go inside the cloisters of Jeronimos Monastery and take a
break at Antiga Confeitaria de Belem to have one of its legendary custard tarts. Then
take the underpass from the monastery's gardens to cross the road to the Discoveries
Monument. Walk along the waterfront from there to Belem Tower. Return down the
same road and choose among the several museums nearby - the Coaches
Museum and theBerardo Museum are two favorites, while the Maritime Museum is a
good choice if you become curious about Portugal's maritime past. For lunch you may

want to consider one of the international restaurants in Docas (take the train from
Belem station to Alcantara-Mar, and walk in the direction of 25 de Abril Bridge), or if
you decide to stay in Belem to explore one more museum or perhaps to visit Ajuda
Palace, there are good-value traditional Portuguese restaurants in the pretty row of
buildings along Rua Vieira Portuense facing the park between the monastery
and Belem Palace.
Back downtown, walk up Chiado and have some coffee or a refreshing drink
at Brasileira Cafe or Cafe Benard. Walk up to So Roque Church for its splendid
baroque chapels (and if you didn't decide to stay in Belem for the afternoon, there is
still time to visit the gothic ruins and eclectic museum of Carmo Church), followed by a
stop at Miradouro de So Pedro de Alcantara for the sunset over the city. It is now
dinnertime, so step into the cobbled Bairro Alto streets and choose among the
various restaurants. After a long, relaxed dinner, join the locals bar-hopping through
the neighborhood. If it is a Friday or Saturday night, you will stumble across what has
to be Europe's biggest bar crawl.
Day 2: Take the metro to Parque das Nas and visit theOceanarium. Walk along the
waterfront to admire the impressive modern architecture of the surroundings (including
the seemingly-endless Vasco da Gama Bridge), before heading toAlfama. Wander
around the maze of narrow streets, stopping at the miradouros before walking up to
the castle. You may want to choose to visit the Tile Museum (take a taxi) or So
Vicente de Fora Church, or go straight to the castle if it is now late afternoon - you
don't want to miss the sunset as you stand above the city. If you did not have lunch at
the popular docas when you visitedBelem, it is perhaps a good idea to head there for
dinner today. Stay for some drinks and dancing at the neighboring bars andclubs, or
burn off your remaining energy in style, at Club Lux.
Day 3: The third day could be one of art and culture. Start at theGulbenkian
Museum where you can spend half a day admiring its treasures, relaxing in its
pleasant gardens, and ending at its Modern Art Center. After lunch, you may want to
continue admiring art, this time at the Ancient Art Museum. Take a tram
back downtown, where you can decide where to go for dinner (see
our restaurant recommendations, although we'd go for one with a view on this last day
- perhaps "Chapit" or "Bica do Sapato").
To end your Lisbon visit, go back to Alfama for some late-night Fado, although we'd
also strongly recommend taking a taxi to the "Senhor Vinho" Fado House in
the Lapa quarter.
Note: if you follow this 3-day itinerary for a long weekend, and the third day is therefore
a Monday, invert the second and third day recommendations above, since the
museums are closed on Mondays. You can also easily spend an entire day or more

in Belem, depending on your interest in seeing its museums. A visit to the Coaches
Museum and Berardo Museum takes about one hour each, while the Maritime
Museum should be given about 2 hours and Ajuda Palace about 90 minutes.
Day 4
take the train to Sintra, Cascais, Estoril
Day 5
Obidos, Alcobaa, Batalha or if you enjoy palaces and architecture, head
to Mafra for its palace, a baroque masterpiece.

2 DAYS

2 DAYS
Day 1: With only two days in Lisbon, you obviously don't have time to visit a large
number of monuments and museums. Concentrate on the main highlights, starting in
the Belem district, reached by tram 15. It departs from downtown, where you can also
take time to admire the city's main squares (Rossio and Comercio Square) and
pedestrian streets (Rua Augusta). Once in Belem, head straight to the Jeronimos
Monastery, then take the underpass to the Discoveries Monument, and walk to Belem
Tower. Take tram 15 once again, this time in the opposite direction, and once
backdowntown, walk up to Alfama. Rest at one of its miradouros and end up at
the castle. At the end of the day take a taxi or the train from Cais do Sodre station to
Alcantara-Mar's Docas. Stay for drinks at one of its bars or clubs, or if you want to
listen to Fado, go back to Alfamaand check out one of its Fado Houses, or head
to Lapa's "Senhor Vinho," considered by many to be the city's best Fado venue.
Day 2: On the second day take the metro to Parque das Nas and visit
the Oceanarium. Stop to admire the futuristic architecture of the district, and head
back to the metro, getting off at the So Sebastio stop for the Gulbenkian Museum.
End your Lisbon visit with a night out in Bairro Alto, first for dinner, then for some
drinks as you bar-hop through this old quarter.
An alternative to the Oceanarium or Gulbenkian Museum is a quick, half-day trip
to Sintra (to visit Pena Palace), about a 40-minute train ride away.

1 DAY

1 DAY
Lisbon has become increasingly popular as a cruise destination, and many visitors
arriving by sea only have one day to explore the city. If that's your case, head straight
to the Belem district and go inside the Jeronimos Monastery's church and cloisters,
and admire the Discoveries Monument and Belem Tower from the outside. Take tram
15 to Baixa (downtown), walk from Comercio Square through Rua Augusta to Rossio
Square before heading to Alfama and St. George's Castle for the late-afternoon glow
over the city. If it is not yet time to return to the ship, walk through Chiado to Bairro
Alto for a light meal or dinner, before heading to Miradouro de So Pedro de
Alcantara and bidding farewell to the city from above.

5 days it's the perfect period to know Lisbon and it's surrounding areas.
Keep 3 days to visit the main attractions of Lisbon. In the historical district
you have to visit the So Jorge Castle, S Cathedral and the typical Bairro
de Alfama. Go toRossio (Lisbon main square) and have a walk through the
Baixa/Chiado area. Also spend some time in Bairro Alto area, specially at
night. You also have to experience the #28 tram and go up Elevador Santa
Justa. Other part of thr city you can't miss is Belm. Go to Belm Tower and
Mosteiro dos Jernimos

Just 28 km from Lisbon, Sintra is a town that has long been home to Portuguese
royalty leading up to the 1910 revolution. Here you will find a Royal Palace, a nearby
Moorish Castle, and the Pena Palace, dating back to the 19th centure. The towns is on the
Estoril Coast near the Sintra Mountains, making the setting dramatically beautiful and
picturesque. The surrounding hills are actually designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site
because they offer a great combination of both cultural importance and natural beauty.
It is possible to reach Sintra from Lisbon by either train or bus. If you choose to take the
train, the Sintra train station is about a twenty minute walk from the town center. You want
to avoid driving to Sintra, particularly during holiday weekends, because parking can be
quite challenging. Once you arrive you can easily navigate the town with the bus system
and on foot. It is possible to walk everywhere, but do be warned that there are some steep
hills, particularly between the Palacio da Pena and the Castelo dos Mouros. There's a
convenient bus route, the circular route 434 that takes you by most of the sites. It's
reasonably priced as you can buy a day pass for only 4 euros.
There are a good number of sights around town that are worth checking out. The Quinta
da Regaleira is a beautiful palace and gardens worth a couple of hours of time. There is,

of course, the Royal Palace and the Pena Palace, as well as the Moorish Castle. If you've
had your fill of palaces and castles you can head over to the Toy Museum. For only 3
euros you can see their over 20,000 exhibits. It's great entertainment for adults and
children alike.
There are a handful of good restaurants throughout Sintra.

Mouro's Castle, it's near Pena so, once you get there you can
easyly check the two monuments. In the Center of Sintra
there are two more palaces:Sintra Palace and Regaleira

Just take the train from Cais do Sodres station in Lisbon to Estoril and/or
Cascais, then either walk or take the train between the two, then take the bus
from Cascais up to Sintra and return by train from there to Lisbon Rossio
station.
It would be better to do this as two separate daytrips but, with an early start,
you would be able to combine all three easily enough without paying out for
an organised tour.

Portugal Travel Tips

Typical Costs

Accommodation: Overall, youll find accommodation very affordable in Portugal,

especially if you are staying in hostels. Most dorm rooms cost around $13 USD per night
(sometimes as low as $10). Double rooms with a private bathroom cost around $50 in a
hostel. A double room in a hotel begins at $35 for a cheap, two star hotel.
Food: You can find snacks in bakeries for around $2, light meals and sandwiches for
around $8, and fast food for around the the same price. If you want sit-down meal with
drinks, youre looking at spending closer to around $20 per a meal. After that, the skies the
limit. However, that being said, you can find some great bargains. I once had a full meal
with wine for $14! If youre cooking, groceries will cost around $40 for a weeks worth of
food.
Transportation: A city metro ticket will cost from $1.75 USD. Inter-country trains and
buses are inexpensive. For example, the train between Porto and Lisbon is only $32. A taxi
in one of Portugals citys should cost no more than $13.
Activities: Activities are not that expensive in Portugal. Museums and UNESCO sites
charge about $7-12 entrance fees. Wine tours are about $55 for a whole day tour.
Skip the taxis - Taxis are super expensive in Portugal, often adding fees for luggage
and airport pick ups. Simply use the metro or bus system to go where you need to.

Trips

What You Can Expect

Sintra and Cascais Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon
Experience Portugal's natural beauty and historic prowess with a journey to the UNESCO
World Heritage-listed town of Sintra and the coastal resort town of Cascais.
In Sintra, your first stop is Pena National Palace, perched on a hill high above the city.
This UNESCO World Heritage-listed Romanticist palace is one of the most revered
landmarks in Portugal. Enter the palace to admire the Arab Room and the detailed
features in the king and queen's bedrooms, and head to the Queens Throne to look out
over the Atlantic Ocean.
Continue to the historical center of Sintra, where youll have free time to explore the
town, have lunch or perhaps visit Castelo dos Mouros (own expense).

Admire the landscapes of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park on your way to the cliffs of Roca
Cape and the surfer's paradise of Guincho Beach. Pass the cliff at Hells Mouth and stop
to stretch your legs along the bay.
Arrive in Cascais, a coastal town that transformed from a quiet fishing village into a chic
resort destination after gaining fame from Portugal's royal family in the 19th century.
Stroll the beaches, wander the charming cobbled streets and learn about the town's
maritime history and important agricultural industries.
Ftima, Nazar and bidos Small-Group Day Trip from Lisbon
Take another day trip from Lisbon, this time to Ftima, Nazar and bidos. Your first stop
is Ftima, located 1.5 hours away.
The town of Ftima, whose name derives from a Moorish princess, is one of the most
important Catholic shrines in the world. Visit the Sanctuary of Ftima, which welcomes
millions of pilgrims and tourists from around the globe, and honors the apparition of the
Virgin Mary.
Next, head to the fishing town of Nazar, the most picturesque coastal resort in the
Estremadura region. Enjoy free time to stroll the harbor, filled with traditional wooden
boats, or explore the cobbled lanes in search for the perfect lunch spot (own expense).
Drive along the cliffs above Nazar to the ancient village of bidos. bidos is commonly
known as the 'wedding present town,' as it was a gift from King Dinis to Queen Isabel on
their wedding day in 1282.
This 2 day trip did not disappoint. Worth the value and more! We loved the small group
atmosphere; a "private" tour without the big cost! Eavh of our guides were very
knowledgeable and added their own special touches. Would highly recommend this
2day tour while in Lisbon.
