Hi Everyone! I'm looking for a place to spend our last night in Portugal in between Evora and Lisbon Airport. Evora is just a little too far away from the airport for our flight out in the morning. Any ideas? We will be coming from Marvao and wanted to explore Elvas en-route. I need to book this asap for travel in April.
Thank you!
Consider staying in Lisbon. Lots to do and a short Uber to the airport (Uber works very well in Portugal). We took the RS tour last summer. Stayed at the Hotel Lisboa Plaza, well located with a very good restaurant behind it (A Gina) and Bonjardim (peri-peri chicken and more) a short walk.
Alan that was our original plan but as we looked at the time it takes to drive from Marvao and the places to see along the way (Elvas, stone circle, maybe Redondo if there's time) we thought we might be really rushing to have to return the rental car and get transportation into Lisbon. We looked into keeping the car until the next morning but it sounds like it's really hard to drive in Lisbon and expensive to park. We are spending 4 nights in Lisbon at the beginning of our journey so we thought maybe there was someplace else we should experience before leaving Portugal. In searching I have found Pousada de Pamela Historic Hotel close to Setubul. It is still a 30-40 minute drive to the airport the next morning but that seems doable for our 11:40 flight. Does anyone have any experience with this place? Or any other ideas?
We have also talked about staying at one of the airport hotels and taking an Uber into Lisbon for the evening. There just doesn't seem to be any charm to the airport hotels.
Thank you!
I don’t have personal experience but have friends who loved the Posada in Pamela and went back for a second stay.
If you plan to drive to the airport on the morning of your flight, leave yourself plenty of time. Traffic in Lisbon during morning hours can be brutal.
Thank you Kathryn. It will be on a Sunday.....does that help the traffic?
Yes, it should be better on a Sunday.
