How can you get from Lisbon to Cabo da Roca?

Do you have travel advice for a trip to Lisbon, Portugal?

• Two American, man 45, woman 76, coming via Dublin, Ireland to get woman 70. We're landing at 7pm Sunday night. leaving on Wednesday at 7 PM. We're staying in Graca on Street: Rua Senhora da Gloria. I'm planning on getting a car for one day. We'll probably take the bus into town from the airport and get the car locally (reserved ahead of time). The bus can take us back to the airport. I understand much in Lisbon is closed on Monday so I was thinking of getting a car in Graca and making a trip from Lisbon to Fatima. On the way back, time permitting, are the possibilities of: Batalha- (less likely:Nazare) -Alcobaca - Obidos- (Less Likely:Sintra and Queluz) - and then Lisbon. Sintra/Queluz are less likely on that day as we may not have time and I think we could reach Sintra by public transport the next day. Tuesday: Possible morning in Sintra and afternoon in Lisbon. Wednesday: Queluz Palace (closed Tuesdays); day in Lisbon until evening flight to Ireland Is the Lisboa card worth the cost for 1-2-or 3 days (E17-E27- or E34)? Let me know what to hit and miss. Thanks.

• Answer:

  Don't waste your time in Queluz! The Queluz Palace is beautiful, but the whole area is kinda grim. There are much more interesting places to see. Sintra is one of my favorite places in the world, you should definitely go there. It's really that beautiful. Unless you're religious, I would pass Fatima. Besides the Sanctuary, there's not much to be seen. Alcobaça - Never been there. Óbidos - I really like Óbidos, it has a very medieval feeling to it. But it's a small town. On a side note, there's Arrábida, which is also one of my favorite places in Portugal. It's about 1h from Lisbon, and it's breathtaking: https://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=pt-PT&q=arr%C3%A1bida&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1385l4729l0l4812l10l10l1l0l0l0l206l1314l0.7.1l8l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1600&bih=754&wrapid=tlif132571440378211&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=6ssET-b1BIGc-wbNu7C5AQ
