Staying four nights in Lisbon then to Evora for a couple nights. Which train station?! And when in Lisbon thinking of training to Sintra and Cascais for a day. Which train station?! Thank you!!!
Any hints on activities with two teenage boys in Porto would be appreciated!
And how to train to beach in Porto??
We are in Lisbon June 26th and then Evora, Coimbra and Porto, leaving July 13.... ALL suggestions are so super appreciated!
Thank you!!!
For Lisbon to Evora - you can leave from Oriente, Entrecampos or Sete Rios. Sete Rios has the fewest stops to Evora but you can leave from the others if they are closer to your accommodations.
For Cascais - leave from Cais do Sodré. It’s very easy because all trains come to Cascais and it’s the last stop. Sit on the left side of the train for best views.
For Sintra - leave from Rossio.
While in Evora, you might want to check out the Megaliths tour. It is led by an archeologist and was the highlight of my first trip.
In Coimbra, Go Walks has a good walking tour that includes the university and library.
In Porto, you can bus or take the metro to Matosinhos (great fishing village for grilled fish lunch or dinner) and there is a tram to Foz, which has a lovely beach.
Julie, here's the website I've been using to plan trains for my trip to Portugal:
