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.

Estimated budget for two (excluding flights)

About this service

We plan a short city break that does not waste the little time you have: the first evening starts close to where you land, the main sights are grouped by neighborhood, and the last morning keeps the airport or station in mind. Instead of a long list, each day has a clear route with one or two must-sees and room to wander.
