Hello, I'm planning a 14 day trip to Portugal and considering staying 6 days in Lisbon to see Lisbon, and also to use it as a hub to day trip to Sintra, Evora, and other locations. Since I'm using it as a hub I am considering if it might be better for me to stay in Parque das Nacoes given its proximity to the airport, and Gare do Oriente. I'm thinking I should still be able to get into central lisbon quickly and easily from there. I realize that this will mean that I will sacrifice staying in the heart of the tourist attractions and historic architecture, but I think I'm okay with that in exchange for convience to the main train station. Is there a downside to this plan that I haven't considered? Maybe it takes longer than I think to get to cental Lisbon?
