My family of four (2 kids are 12 and 15) are headed to Portugal for two weeks in late June/early July. First-pass itinerary below; I'd love any feedback on whether this feels overly ambitious and if we should consider doing Evora as a day trip from Lisbon and/or Coimbra as a day trip from Porto. It feels like a lot of two-night, one day stops to me. Also wondering if it makes sense for part of the trip to rent a car. We typically like taking trains (or buses) if it's scenic but it seems like it could save a lot of time getting to the Algarve if we drive. Thank you!
