Get the tram out for the day from the city centre. Lots to see. The iconic tower, the monastery, the famous custard tart place, or just sit and watch the world go by.

Mix a beach and city break. Stay central to get around on foot. Rossio is our favourite central area to stay.

Car for foz, cabs for Lisbon
If you’re mixing a beach and city break then dump the car for Lisbon. Public transport is clean and cheap - and the old trams are a must. Then hire a car to drive to Foz do Arelho. You’re then free to explore the best of the Silver Coast.

Short trips
From Foz - think about Obidos castle, Sao martinho do Porto, surf at Nazaré, the knights Templar’s at Tomar, Alcobaça cathedral.
Co si sbalit
Flat shoes and layers
Portuguese pavements - usually pretty but not practical (not for heels!). Bring lots of layers. Beautiful sunshine meets an Atlantic breeze so you might want something on your shoulders at times.
