Lisbon in 3 days — FAQ

Is 3 days enough to see Lisbon?
Three days is ideal for a first visit — the city, a Sintra day trip and a day exploring Óbidos, Nazaré and Fátima, without rushing.
What is the best day trip from Lisbon for 3 days?
Sintra with the Pena Palace is the must-do; Óbidos, Nazaré and Fátima make a great second day trip, and the Algarve or Porto if you have more time.
How do I plan a 3-day Lisbon itinerary?
Spend day one in the city, day two in Sintra and on the coast, and day three on the medieval north, booking timed Sintra tickets and tours ahead.
