We dedicated this day to discovering Lisbon and its sights, starting with the majestic and elegant Belem Tower, one of Lisbon's most famous monuments. We purchased the ticket to the tower on GetyourGuide.
Good
Next, we looked at the monument dedicated to the great discoveries and explorers, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, a giant white stone caravel with its sails unfurled, silhouetted against the Lisbon sky.
Good
In the Belem district, we then visited the beautiful Monastero dos Jeronimos, which can be reached in 15 minutes from downtown Lisbon by the Tram No. 15.
Good
For lodging, we booked on Booking for 3 nights in a very central location at 54 Santa Catarina Apartments, in the Bairro Alto neighborhood and very close to all the main attractions

The center of Lisbon, with its narrow, uphill streets, stole our hearts. After a stop at the Miradouro of Santa Lucia, from where there is one of the most beautiful views of Lisbon, we took the historic yellow Electrico 28 streetcar, which took us on a tour of the entire historic center of the city.
Good
Then we visited São Jorge Castle, which sits on a hill at the top of the city.
Good
Then we took a ride on the elevator of Santa Justa, an incredible piece of architecture from which there is a 360 view of the city of Lisbon 🤩

After stopping at Cristo Rei and enjoying a delicious pastel du nata, we picked up the rental car (rented with Sixt) and headed to Sintra, where the beautiful Palacio da Pena was waiting for us. Lo

In Sintra in addition to this colorful and enchanting castle reminiscent of those in fairy tales, don't forget to stop by the Quinta da Regaleira, and Dos Mouros Castle, from whose walls there are breathtaking views of the Sintra forest and castle.

Good
From Sintra we arrived at Cabo da Roca, at the westernmost point in Europe. High cliffs drop off where the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea meet.
23 Aug
Good
After the tour in Sintra and Cabo da Roca, we headed to Peniche, from where we would leave the next day for a boat ride to the Berlengas Islands. In Peniche we stayed in a super delightful modern B&B with pool: Ilheu 25 peniche House.

Good
The next day we left by boat on a tour that took us to the Berlengas Islands, a true paradise for lovers of trekking, wilderness and ornithology. On these pristine islands dwell several species of birds that live only here. A true Eden! The pink color of the rock contrasts with a crystal green sea, what a wonder! Io

After a stop at the surfers' beach "Supertubos," we ended the day by sampling the specialties of Restaurante do Parque in Peniche.

Our descent of Portugal began, leading us from Peniche to the Alentejio. One of the most beautiful stops was Zambujeira do Mar, which the most experienced trekkers cross during the Rota Vicentina, a beautiful path that crosses the entire Alentejio region.
25 Aug
Good
Here we stayed at Quinta do Sardanito de Tras, a clean, comfortable and low cost accommodation.
26 Aug
Good
From Alentejio we drove to Lagos, a coastal town in the Algarve. Dynamic and lively, it won us over with its two beautiful beaches, Praia Do Camilo and Praia de Dona Ana.
Good
In the afternoon we took a beautiful trek that led us by Ponta da Piedade, from which there are incredible views of the coast and the cliffs of the Algarve. A red rock similar to the Grand Canyon that really won us over
Good
To sleep, we booked on Booking at C19 - Do Mar Apartment in Lagos, a very comfortable 3- bedroom apartment conveniently located on the beach.
27 Aug
Good
On the seventh day, we decided to do the 7 Suspended Valleys trek, which leads to cross the Algarve's most beautiful beaches. First stop: Praia de Marinha.
27 Aug
Good
The beautiful trail then continues to Benagil beach, where we took a boat tour that led us to the spectacular benagil cave. Here you can also get there via kayak for the more athletic!
