Lisbon in 4 Days: Day-by-Day Itinerary with Budget and Sintra Day Trip (Printable + iPad)
Lisbon packs tiled hills, a five-hundred-year-old riverside tower, fairy-tale Sintra and live Fado into a few steep neighborhoods, but four days can vanish into ticket queues, closed lifts and tourist-trap menus without a plan. This one does the timing, the booking and the budgeting for you.
This 29-page printable guide gives you 4 days and 3 nights in Lisbon, planned from breakfast to late night, with the price of every stop in euros and a realistic budget. Admission fees and fares were checked in September 2026, including this year's changes (the reopened Belém Tower with timed entry, the new Pena Palace and Regaleira prices, the closed funiculars and the 4 euro tourist tax).
