5 Days in Lisbon with Kids
This 5-day Lisbon family itinerary turns a hilly city into manageable neighborhood blocks with tram rides, viewpoints, castles, custard tarts, the Oceanarium, and a carefully paced Sintra day. It avoids backtracking and keeps afternoons flexible for tired legs. The route is best for families with school-age children or stroller-light travelers who can use taxis when hills get too much. Expect practical choices around Baixa, Alfama, Belem, Parque das Nacoes, and Sintra.
