Why this trip
Yellow trams squeak over seven hills, and children sit at the window as if it were a roller coaster. Lisbon is mild from March to June and September to October, the flight takes about 2.5 hours, and the daylight on the Tagus is soft. The Oceanário de Lisboa is one of the great aquariums of Europe and for families a day among sharks, penguins and sea otters. The viewpoints Miradouro da Senhora do Monte and Miradouro de Santa Luzia offer views over rooftops and river, good with children for the late afternoon, when the heat eases.
The lanes of the Alfama lead steeply uphill, a walk with breaks and a lemonade in the shade. The Palácio Nacional da Ajuda shows children how kings lived. The city is hilly, and pushchairs reach their limits, so a baby carrier or a tram is worth more than a long walk. Cascais, Portimão in the Algarve and Porto are neighbouring destinations, and Cascais can be planned as a beach day on a short trip.
A room with space for everyone near the river shortens the distances. How much city your children can take is something Family clarifies in a video call.
