Things To Do

A practical card guide for the three bases: Lisbon/Lapa, Cascais/Sintra, and Lagoa/Algarve. Each card has stay-relative distance, review context, hours, day advice, Maps, directions, and TripAdvisor links.

How to use this: pick one anchor activity per day, then add a nearby light stop only if everyone still has energy. Review counts are captured from public TripAdvisor/search snippets where available; ratings/hours should be tapped through and verified before buying tickets.

Photo note: Cards now use swipeable real-photo carousel reels, primarily Wikimedia/Wikipedia/Commons images. TripAdvisor/Google image scraping is unreliable and rights-sensitive, so I avoided fake or dubious scraped photos.
