TIPS FOR VISITING PORTUGAL

  • Kick off your visit with a tuk tuk tour, just be forewarned that it will be bumpy and there is a lot of getting in and out so not great for small kids.
  • Lisbon is known as the City of Seven Hills. Which means there is a lot of walking uphill on the cobblestone roads. Though people have been seen with kids in strollers you may want to think about waiting until your kids are a little older and taking it slow or possibly carrying your kids in a pack.
  • A funicular is a great way to get up hill, but expect to wait a while.
  • Be aware of your surroundings when you are walking around. If you have traveled to other cities you should already be aware of the possibility of being pickpocketed.
  • If you decide to take a day trip to Sintra and are not comfortable driving on narrow winding roads. You should look into taking a train or even hire a driver.
  • Make sure to wear good walking shoes to walk around on the cobblestone roads. Especially if you take a trip to Quinta da Regaleira. Parts of the outdoor paths can bet a bit muddy and slippery.
  • May through September seem to be the busiest time for tourists to visit Lisbon.
