Lisbon travel guide

Travel stories

• Seixal on a Sunday from Lisbon: plan around the ferry gaps

  Use the Sunday ferry column, choose a bay-side outing, and avoid building the day around museum rooms that are not open.

• Dinner in Cacilhas from Lisbon: choose the return ferry before the table

  Plan the Cais do Sodre crossing, the restaurant address, and the walk back without assuming every waterfront route stays open.

• Barreiro by ferry: an industrial-history day beyond central Lisbon

  Use the Terreiro do Paco crossing, choose one confirmed heritage visit, and keep former industrial sites distinct from public walking areas.

• Can you visit Corroios tide mill? Check the closure before leaving Lisbon

  The municipal page currently lists the mill as closed. Here is how to verify access and choose a genuinely workable alternative.

• Queluz Palace from Lisbon by train: a palace day without a Sintra detour

  Choose Queluz-Belas or Monte Abraao, allow for the final walk, and keep the palace and gardens as the main event.

• Trafaria by ferry: check Belem or Alges before planning the crossing

  Check the actual mainland terminal, keep Trafaria separate from the ocean beaches, and build a return that fits your day.

• How to get from Lisbon Airport to the city centre without a taxi

  A practical metro-first arrival plan with the right transfer, payment choice, luggage check, and fallback for late or disrupted journeys.
