Planning Tips

📆 Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Lisbon, Sintra, and Belém is during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when temperatures are pleasant and crowds are moderate. Summer brings intense heat and peak tourist season, while winter offers mild temperatures and fewer tourists but occasional rain.

💰 Average Daily Budget

A couple can expect to spend around €150-180/day (2025), including mid-range hotel accommodation, meals, public transportation, and attraction entries. This covers train trips to Sintra, tram rides, and museum admissions.

🍽️ Must-Try Foods

Sample Portuguese classics like pastel de nata (custard tarts), especially from Belém's famous Pastéis de Belém, fresh seafood including bacalhau dishes, and bifana (pork sandwiches). Don't miss traditional caldo verde soup, grilled sardines, and Sintra's travesseiros (puff pastries).

🍻 Local Drinks

Try Portugal's famous vinho verde (young wine) and port wine. Sample ginjinha (cherry liqueur) from traditional shops in Lisbon, and local craft beers. Coffee culture is strong - try a bica (espresso) at historic cafes.

📸 Must-See Views

In Lisbon, explore the historic Alfama district, ride the iconic Tram 28, and visit São Jorge Castle. In Sintra, tour the colorful Pena Palace and mysterious Quinta da Regaleira. In Belém, visit the Tower of Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, and the Monument to the Discoveries.
