I'm getting all kinds of opinions and want your advice on: 1. 3 or 4 days in Porto
2. Staying outside of Lisbon & taking the train into city or staying in the city for 4 or 5 days?
3. 4 or 5 days in Quarteira vs. 2 -3 days in Seville?
Thanks again all,
Jean
I like to stay where there's a concentration of sights. For me, that would be Lisbon. But if you are traveling with children who are easily placated with beach time, that might make a difference.
Nope, 4 retired adults with a vehicle ...
Thanks,
Jean
Hi Jean,
Without knowing any of your logistics or likes/ dislikes except that you have a car, my thoughts are:
3 days Porto
4 days staying in Lisbon city
4 days Quarteira
2 days Seville
You can tweak the days according to what interests you in the guidebook, either start or end in Lisbon and avoid 4-5 days of a rental car, and know there is more than enough to see and do in Portugal and save Seville for a dedicated Spain trip. Try to pace yourself if this is your first trip to Portugal.
Stay in Lisbon and Porto.
Both cities have a lot to see and do. I would give Porto two nights and Lisbon 3-4. Add more nights for day trips to Sintra, Evora, Cascas, Obidos.
If you stay in Porto, check out the best B and B ever, the InPatio Guesthouse. Great location, great breakfast, new facility, nice with very friendly owners.
