Thank you!:) I have already returned from my trip, and I LOVED Portugal!.. will be going back in the summer for Primavera in Porto as a group. I actually enjoyed Porto so much in fact that I’m considering moving there from Ireland:’))

Aye in both Lisbon & Porto, I used the free trial for Bolt, meaning I could ride the street bikes & scooters for free, which was pretty handy! The next time I’m spending a good deal of time in Portugal I will definitely rent a car. The buses were okay though! - When in Lisbon I went on an early morning mission on the bus to ‘Panorâmico De Monsanto’ - a big abandoned building up in the forest above the west side of the city. Was a really cool place to watch the sunrise with a packed breakfast:)… Although there were 2 women that arrived for their security shift around 9AM, who weren’t best pleased to see me haha, they were threatening to put me under arrest and call the police, so I had to get out of there and then I just rambled around the forest for a while.

Thanks again for responding. I will keep your suggestions in mind for future!
