Lisbon
- Start visit with a free walking tour- they will tell you were all the landmarks and explain history, then youāll know where else to go.

- Absolutely avoid taking the junta vista lift!! that elevator! its not worth the money, and its a 5 min walk from the bottom of lift to the top if you just go towards the back of rossio train station and walk up the zig zag stairs (2 stories), and continue up the stairs when youre at the top of zig zag stairs
Going to sintra from Lisbonā go to the ROSSIO train station and go to the green tix machines and just get a round trip tix. i think its called (2way) and the trains are direct from that station. no need to go to a counter much easier this way.Ā
- you can stay at Destination Hostel in Lisbon inside the Rossio train station or they have sister hostels/ apartments too: Lisbon | Destination Hostels
