Hi !
We (2 adults and 2 kids of 5 and 9) will be in Portugal at the end of july/begining august. We have 13 nights.
We have a flight from Barcelona that will arrive at 9:55 in Porto. Here's a quick itinerary that need refining by knowledgeable people !

1) Porto (2 nights)
2) Rent a car in porto then go to Guimaraes (maybe Braga but not sure about that one) Douro Valley (2 nights)
3)Coimbra (2 nights)
4) Obidos (2 nights)
5) Evora (1 night)...we could leave Evora for another trip since it's a bit out of the way.
6) Going to lisbon fromEvora with a stop in Sintra (4 nights)
7) fly back home from lisbon

We know 2 days for Obidos and or Coimbra could be too much (or not !), but we figure we could stay somewhere near and , since we will have a car, go see smal places around those town.

Thanks a lot in advance

Somes thoughts:

1) Obidos will be a stop after all. Maybe we will stop there while going to Lisbon.

2) We think Evora will be for another trip. It's a bit out of the way and we dont have enough time to see it.

3) About one more night to Porto. We are hesitanat on thjat One. Porto itseld doesn't seem that bis, so maybe a day an a half for Porto only would be enough (or not ?) About Guimares (not sure about Braga) we could do it as a daytrip Frome Porto (anmd add a night in porto) or maybe cgo there by car after our 2 nights in Porto. What would be the best ?


4) We think about staying 2 places (2-3 nights each) somewhere near Coimbra and around Tomar so we could do daytrip from there (Tomar, Nazare, Batalha, Conimbriga). Since we have a car we are better to saty outside town. Does anyone know a small village, that would be well located to do all those daytrip ?

Thanks once again !

Coimbra: take kids to "Portugal dos Pequeninos". I think they will love it.

Thanks, it's noted !

Anyone else ?

We have 3 nuigts in Porto (1 for a day trip in Guimaraes) and 5 in Lisbon (one for a daytrip to SIntra).

That leave us with 5 nights in Portugal.

I didn't love Braga and would skip it.

Ok For Braga. Still got 5 nights between Porto and Lisbon. any ideas ?

No one ?

Topping this for you

5 nights before Porto and Lisbon: Tomar. Just google about it. You'll find why I advise this city (and maybe Castelo de Almourol, a nice and small castle in the river).
