5 days in Lisbon Itinerary

Built on seven hills, Lisbon has experienced a renaissance in recent years, making it the cultural star of Portugal.

Step out of the city life by going to Ilha do Pessegueiro and Marinhas de Sal. Explore hidden gems such as Cabo da Roca and Praia de Foz. Get out of town with these interesting Lisbon side-trips: Praia do Carvalhal (in Carvalhal), Praia da Aberta Nova (in Grandola) and Sintra (Quinta da Regaleira & Park and National Palace of Pena). There's lots more to do: make a trip to Belém Tower, contemplate the long history of Castelo de S. Jorge, observe the fascinating underwater world at Lisbon Oceanarium, and appreciate the history behind Padrao dos Descobrimentos.
