Some of Portugal’s most interesting spots are just a short trip from Lisbon. If you want to see more than the capital, here are my top 5 day trip recommendations:
Sintra: from the the colourful, hilltop Pena Palace, walk the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle, and discover the mystical initiation wells at Quinta da Regaleira.
Cascais:Trade city views for beaches and a charming old town.Walk along the marina, visit the "Boca do Inferno" cliff formation, and enjoy fresh grilled fish at a seaside restaurant.
Óbidos: A postcard-perfect village completely enclosed by ancient walls.Wander the flower-lined cobblestone streets, try the famous Ginja liqueur in a chocolate cup, and browse local artisan shops.
Évora: A UNESCO World Heritage site in the Alentejo plains.Marvel at the Roman Temple, visit the haunting Chapel of Bones, and explore the grand cathedral.
Tomar: This city was the headquarters of the Knights Templar in Portugal. The Convent of Christ is a monumental masterpiece that reflects centuries of architecture.
