Day 2. Alfama and São Jorge Castle

Morning. Take tram 28 from Martim Moniz at 8:30, before the queues, to the stop below the castle. Walk the castle walls (allow 1.5 hours, ticket about €15 each).

Late morning. Walk downhill through Alfama's lanes to the Santa Luzia viewpoint for the classic view of red roofs and the river. 10 minutes on foot.

Lunch. A small family-run tasca on the lanes below the viewpoint: grilled sardines or the dish of the day, about €15–18 per person with wine.

Afternoon. National Tile Museum, 15 minutes by bus 759 from the river. Quiet, uncrowded and good if it rains.

Evening. A fado house in Alfama. Book a 20:30 dinner-and-show seating a few days ahead; budget €45–60 per person.

Day 5. Sintra day trip

  • 8:40 train from Rossio station, 40 minutes, about €2.50 each way.
  • 9:30 bus 434 up the hill to Pena Palace. Book a timed ticket online for 10:00 to skip the line.
  • 12:30 walk down through the forest park to the Moorish Castle (30 minutes, some steep steps, wear trainers).
  • 14:00 late lunch in the old town; try the local almond-and-cheese pastries.
  • 16:00 Quinta da Regaleira gardens and the initiation well.
  • 18:30 train back to Lisbon.

Where to stay

  • Chiado — central, flat-ish streets, easy for every day of this plan. Best overall fit.
  • Alfama — atmospheric and quieter at night, but steep hills with luggage.

About this service

Road trips in Australia and New Zealand look short on the map but take long days behind the wheel, so we plan realistic driving times, fuel and rest stops and nights in the right towns. Popular loops include the Great Ocean Road, the Queensland coast, New Zealand's South Island with Queenstown and the fjords, or the North Island with Rotorua. Days balance driving with hikes, beaches, wildlife and wineries.

Questions and answers

Can we see Sydney, Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef in two weeks?

Only with flights between them, since driving is days apart. We combine short flights with driving where it makes sense.

Is freedom camping allowed in New Zealand?

Rules are strict and vary by area and vehicle. We suggest holiday parks and official sites; check local council rules before you go.

Do you plan around driving on the left and wildlife at night?

Yes. We keep driving to daylight hours where possible and avoid very long first days after a long flight.
