Lisbon:
*Lisbon is full of things to do. I recommend staying near, Barro Alto and the Rossio Train Station (Used to get to Sintra). We stayed right inbetween and it was the perfect location.
*Go up the Santa Justa Lift! But, you do not have to wait in line to go up the lift. Just go to Restaurante Panorâmico em Lisboa, located just to the south side of the Carmo Archaeological Museum
Sintra:
*Tips on getting to Sintra: Go to the Rossio Train Station, and the train will take you straight to Sintra.

*Once in Sintra: we wanted to use the bus (Bus 43) to tour, but traffic was so bad, we just spent more to take a Tuk-Tuk ($5 per person per ride vs. $5 all day for the bus).
*Do not miss the Initiation Well in Quinta da Regaleira!
LAGOS:
*To get to Lagos: take the metro to the Sete Rios Stationi. Then the train takes about 3.5 hours to get to Tunes, where you will transfer. The next train's final stop is Lagos.

*Lagos is a very small town but one could easily spend 4 nights here.
*Hike along the path to take in the other beaches
*Make sure to do a kayak, paddleboard or boat tour to see the beaches from below
*If you're into Kayaking, do the Kayak trip. It will get you into many of the caves, but it is a lot of work, so be prepared! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://kayakadventureslagos.com/kayak-and-snorkel-trip/" >http://kayakadventureslagos.com/kayak-and-snorkel-trip/</a>
