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.

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).

- 18:30 train back to Lisbon.
Where to stay

About this service
We plan a trip across Europe by train: the order of cities that keeps journeys short, which legs are scenic and worth doing in daylight, and where a night train saves a hotel night. You get journey times between stops and a note on whether a rail pass or point-to-point tickets fit your route better.
What is included

Timetables, seat reservation rules and fares change, so check them with the rail operators; we do not sell or book tickets.

Questions and answers
Is an Interrail or Eurail pass worth it?
We compare the pass with typical fares for your route, including seat reservation fees on high-speed trains. Check current prices before buying.
Can you add a day trip by train?
Yes. We suggest day trips that are under about two hours each way so you still have time there.
What if a train is cancelled?
We note a back-up connection for tight legs. On the day, follow the operator's instructions.
