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 visits to national parks around what they demand: early starts before car parks fill, hikes chosen by distance and elevation for your fitness, and lodging just outside the gates when park lodges are full. Each day says which trailheads to hit, where to see wildlife at dawn or dusk and what to pack for the altitude and weather.

What is included

  • What you getA parks itinerary as formatted text: daily hikes with distance and difficulty, scenic drives, viewpoints, where to stay near each park and a budget estimate including entry fees. Check permits, timed entry, trail closures and weather on the official park website before each day; we do not book permits, campsites or lodging.

Questions and answers

Do we need a reservation to enter the park?

Some popular parks use timed entry or permits for certain trails in season. We flag the ones we know about; confirm on the official park site.

Is an annual parks pass worth it?

We compare it with single entry fees for your route and tell you which looks cheaper.

Do you plan backcountry trips?

No. We plan day hikes and drives; overnight backcountry trips need permits and local guidance.
