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
Portugal and Spain combine well, but distances are bigger than they look, and trains between the two countries are limited. We plan your route with fast trains inside Spain, buses or a short flight across the border and a car for areas like the Algarve or Andalusian villages. Days follow the local rhythm, with late lunches, siesta closures and dinners after nine.
What is included
- What you getA day-by-day plan for Portugal, Spain or both as formatted text: cities, trains, buses or driving between them, sights, tapas and petiscos, areas to stay and a budget in euros. Check train times, sight booking rules and prices on official sites; we do not book anything.

Questions and answers
Is there a direct train from Lisbon to Madrid?
Cross-border rail options change and are often slow, so we usually compare a bus, a short flight and a drive. Check current services before booking.
Can we fit Andalusia and Lisbon in one week?
Yes, for example Seville and Granada plus Lisbon, but it is tight. We say what to drop if you prefer a slower pace.
Is August too hot in southern Spain?
It is often very hot inland. We plan sightseeing in the morning and evening and keep the hottest hours for rest or the beach.
