to & from

Lufthansa from SFO/Frankfurt/Porto and back home from Lisbon/Frankfurt/SFO. We wanted to explore as much of the country as we could in 12 days, so rented a car for freedom and flexibility. We ditched our car while in Lisbon, then rented another for the drive south to The Algarve.

Where to Stay

  • Residentas Apostolas: Beautiful, unique, apartments with fantastic location and gracious, helpful hosts.
  • Martinhal Lisbon Chiado: Lisbon outpost for the Martinhal Family Resorts. Huge apartments in central Chiado location. Kids club and in-hotel café geared towards children. Recommend for families with preschool aged children or families that may want hotel childcare during their stay.
