This trip visits the Alfama, Belém, Baixa, Chiado, and Príncipe Real districts of Lisbon plus a day in Sintra. Days are arranged by area so that each focuses on one neighborhood or nearby sites. The sequence starts in the oldest quarter and moves through central and western parts before the Sintra day trip.
Five days covers central neighborhoods and a day trip if routes are planned by area. Use the metro for longer hops and trams for short distances within the old city.
Book Jerónimos Monastery tickets online at least one week in advance. Entry costs around 10 euros and timed entry avoids queues at the gate.
Catch the CP train from Rossio station to Sintra station, a 40-minute ride that costs 2.30 euros one way. Buy a round-trip ticket or load credit on a Viva Viagem card before boarding.
Reserve Fado tables in Alfama two or three days ahead for evening shows. Prices range from 15 to 25 euros per person and usually include one drink.
