We managed a quick trip (8 nights) to Portugal over the recent New Year’s holiday, with our family of six: my husband and me, our two adult sons, and their girlfriends. We flew from Newark to Lisbon, then a quick one-hour flight north to Porto. After four nights in Porto, we took the train to Lisbon, and stayed an additional four nights. Our time in Lisbon included a day trip to Sintra.
