In reply to RazFaz. Yes, I was a bit disappointed we didn't do the #28 tram, but just means we will have to go back and do it :-)

Don‘t miss the tram no. 28 through the Alfama – the old city. It drives through the narrow and tiny lanes. I remember that we jumped(more falling) though the entry of a little grocery as the tram passed behind us.
And the visit of the aquarium it really worth. They builed it for the World exhibition.

In reply to Carol Rice. Portugal would be up there in the top few countries of our gap year. It definitely packs a punch and I can see why it has become so popular. Keep an eye out for my next post on Porto, which I think I liked even more than Lisbon!

In reply to Pete. Thanks Pete. I can totally see how trying to park would have been a nightmare! Even at some of the attractions out of town it would not have been easy do to narrow roads and very limited places to park.

I could spend a lot more time in Lisbon and Sintra. Our own visit to Sintra was pretty chaotic, but we saw some great stuff.

Hired a car and drove to Cabo de Roca, then onto Sintra where there was zero parking. Kind of difficult to pick public transport and its often imperfect routes and timings, or hire a car and find no parking at the good places.

Good tip on the Sandemans tour. Loved the one we did in Paris. Will keep an eye out for them in future.
