Portugal: Best Places to Visit
Portugal (continued)
Lisbon
Lisbon is a city of neighborhoods and each one has something to offer the tourist. Although a great town for walking, Lisbon is very hilly and we recommend taking the electrified streetcars when possible. Be sure to visit Castelo de São Jorge, Biaxa, Alfama, and the banks of the River Taugus. Spend an afternoon in Belem visiting the Age of Navigators Monument, Torre de Belem, and the Mosteiro dos Jeronomos - a tour of the cloisters is worthwhile.

Cascais
Take the train to Cascais for a delicious seaside lunch (think seafood), great shopping, and beautiful beaches. Cascais is both a suburb of Lisbon and a delightful beach resort.
