Hi all. I’m doing a 6 day layover in Lisbon in March. I land in the morning and was thinking about taking the train to Porto for 2 nights, then back to Lisbon for the other 4. I want to visit Sintra and maybe Cascais, but now I’m not sure if I should go to Porto since it takes about 3 hours to get there. Maybe I should just check out some of the smaller towns closer to Lisbon instead and save Porto for another time?
I’m not really interested in museums and I’m not one to spend hours dining and/or drinking wines. I like looking at unique buildings and natural wonders and just exploring in general. Based on my somewhat limited research so far, I’m looking forward to Quinta da Regaleira and the Moorish castle for the outdoor features which look really cool, but I’ll probably skip Peña palace.
Since I’ve got a little time to plan, I thought I’d ask for input from those familiar with the area. Thank you for any advice!
