← Seven Days in Lisbon and SintraConfirmation codes, room numbers and cost are excluded from this view by default.
TAP TP204Newark → Lisbon · overnight — Nobody slept. Worth knowing for next time: the overnight saves a day on paper and costs you one in practice.6/10
Hotel Santa Justa4 nights — Walkable to everything. The kids could see the Santa Justa lift from the window and never stopped pointing it out.9/10
Pastelaria Santo Antóniobreakfast — Custard tarts at 9am because we'd been awake since 3.8/10
Tram 28Packed, slow, exactly as advertised. Worth doing once, early, and not again.7/10
Miradouro da Senhora do MonteThe view everyone photographs. It earns it.9/10
Cervejaria Ramirodinner · 90 min wait — Garlic shrimp, and then more garlic shrimp. The best thing we ate all week. Theo ate an entire crab by himself and talked about it for the rest of the trip.10/10
Mosteiro dos Jerónimos8/10
Pastéis de BelémWe ate six. There is no defence.10/10
Time Out Marketdinner — Too loud, too crowded, and everyone was tired. Our own fault for going at seven on a Saturday.5/10
It rained all day. We played cards in the hotel lobby for four hours and it was somehow one of the best days. Ivy learned gin rummy and immediately beat everyone.
Casa do Valleguesthouse · 2 nights — Quiet, up a hill, a garden the kids disappeared into.8/10
Pena PalaceThe colours are genuinely absurd. The walk up nearly finished us — take the bus.9/10
Quinta da RegaleiraThe initiation well. Theo went down it three times. Best single hour of the trip.10/10
