I thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Lisbon coast and can't wait to get back to explore more of Portugal one day. We will definitely go back to see more of Lisbon, and perhaps the North and South of the country, as well as to sip espresso and eat pasteis de nata, which are like little custard cup pastries. As people said, the public transport system is great, and we travelled around quite a bit on buses and trains, three children included.
Unlike our experience in Italy, some years ago, we were welcomed as tourists in Portugal and didn't have one bad experience getting help from local people. I tried out my rough Portuguese and think I learnt a lot about the language, through the intense exposure and necessity! All in all we loved Cascais and Sintra, enjoyed our time with the old friends we met up with and took some great pictures.
