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

We plan the Ring Road or a shorter Iceland loop with honest driving times, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, glacier lagoons and hot pools spaced so you are not driving in the dark. The plan follows your season: long summer days allow more stops, while in winter we keep legs short, flag roads that often close and leave nights free for the northern lights.

What is included

Questions and answers

Can we do the full Ring Road in winter?

It is possible but risky with short days and closures. We suggest a shorter loop or extra buffer days.

Can you include F-roads to the Highlands?

Only in summer, with a 4x4, and with a note to check that each F-road is open.

Can you plan the northern lights?

We pick stays away from town lights and leave evenings free. Whether the lights appear depends on the sky.
