Hi everyone,
I am going to Portugal next week for a mini vacation. Will visit Faro, Porto and Lisbon also. I am excited much 🙂
I am looking forward to see some comments about these cities based on YOUR experience.
What to see, what to do? If you know some good restaurants or just something what you really liked please let me know. I am more than happy to explore something what is not that well known and popular.
Thank You So Much if you will take your time to share your experiences!!!

Excitement! You might already be there and I just saw this. 🙂 Depends how much time you have but it sounds like a full itinerary already. From Faro I would recommend a trip to Silves and to Lagos. You can get to both very cheaply by bus. It all depends on time. In Porto my husband would recommend you try a Francesinha- a sort of huge breakfast in a bowl. 🙂 Have fun!

If you plan to take public transport in Lisboa, then the same card takes you by train to Sintra. There’s a lovely cafe called A Piriquita in Sintra which was recommended to us by the locals, and which I really liked.
I could bore you to death with my posts on Portugal, but I’ll let you just decide not to click on the link: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/category/portugal/

In Porto, O Bom Talher was an excellent and cheap restaurant.
Day trip to Cascais while in Lisboa, and a trip to Cabo de São Vicente while in the Algarve are both well worth it and haven’t been mentioned. Sintra is also a great day trip from Lisboa as someone mentioned.
Enjoy!
If you like coffee, I recommend um galao, a big coffee with milk/white coffee.

Sintra is only like a 45 train from Lisbon and they run very frequently. They all get there at 10 and leave at 4/5.
