4 nights in Portugal

Posted by (Phoenix) on

We are headed to Portugal for 4 nights after the RS Basque Country tour and are torn on how to spend the time. Originally we thought 2 nights in Porto and 2 nights in Lisbon and depart Lisbon for home. But that now seems rushed…. (We will start our trip in Bordeaux for 2 days before the tour starts.)

Based on that, I am considering skipping Porto and just making Lisbon home base and then potentially doing a day trip or two from there. But we want to maximize our time so….help on how to spend 4 days is appreciated.

Also - we have an interest in Portugal’s pottery….

Thanks for the help!

We spent 2 wks in Portugal. Small as it is, and plus only a part of it is populated, wished we'd stayed longer. If it was my first time there and I had only 4 days I'd base in Lisbon and make a day-trip to Sintra. That would avoid spending more time in-transit than at various destinations. Think of this time as a preview and plan to return!
