we arrive about 0530 and our plane leaves again at 1500, which does not give much time. We chose Lisbon because airfare was cheaper

How are you travelling between the different areas of the city?

 

Great above question. As detailed in my live/blog below, Lisbon is a super spectacular city. Loved Lisbon, but we fortunately had five days there before starting our cruise last year. Logistic take time and much depends as to who is doing the driving, etc. Tell us more.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Lisbon, NWSpain, Bordeaux/Brittany: Finished June 2017 sailing on the Silver Spirit from Portugal to France along the scenic Atlantic Coast, plus great pre- and post-cruise experiences. Many interesting pictures and details on history, food, culture, etc., from my live/blog at:

Would suggest getting tickets on line for Belem tower(if visiting inside) as well as monestary. Lines are long to purchase tickets. Online tickets good for a year. With tickets in hand, you walk right in, but may have to wade through line to do so.
