Hi there, I am planning a trip to Lisbon, Portugal this November. Lisbon looks to be a fascinating city to visit. I'll have 3 weeks there and I want to do day trips to nearby towns. I'm depending on public transportation. My interests are really varied, history, photography, people/culture. I enjoy usual touristy attractions as well as unique ones. For example, I found this tile museum in the Alfama District that I want to see. Things like that are cool.
I have done some research and find the following day trips to be interesting choices so far: Sintra, Obidos, Cascias, Cabo da Roca, Evora and possibly an overnight trip to Porto. Do you think these are good choices so far? Others like Setubol, Tomar ae also on my radar. I don't want to over pack my itinerary and will need to narrow the field a bit so I'm not doing too much.
As usual I want to see everything but I know that is impossible so I'm trying to find the most interesting quick day trips to nearby towns that would best compliment my Lisbon experience. I think just Lisbon alone is full of so many things I want to see and experience. If there are any city suggestions or thoughts on things I should not miss in Lisbon itself, I would also appreciate it.
Much appreciation for any thoughts, ideas, suggestions. Thank you.
