One of my travel bucket lists is to see every capital city in Europe. We decided to tack on a 2 week trip to Portugal after a family trip to Greece in September. In 2 weeks, we covered a lot of ground, with the exceptiopn of the Algarve in South of Portugal. We rented a car to drive between the two big cities – Porto and Lisbon. I started with a suggested itinerary by Rick Steves and then tailored it after a consulting zoom session with travel blogger, JulieDawnFox.com. She suggested eliminating Nazare and staying in Alcoboca instead – which was good advice. She also suggested interesting stops between cities on our driving tours. We had enough days in the cities to see the highlights but we really enjoyed our time in the smaller towns the best.
