Plan Your Perfect Family 
Trip to Portugal with a Drop 
of Spain
Portugal had been on my bucket list for years, 
so I was thrilled when we planned it for our 
first babymoon. I listed below our take-aways 
from the trip (i.e., restaurant and activity 
recommendations and our itinerary details), as 
well things to consider when traveling during 
pregnancy.
LISBON
Where to stay:
We have always loved to stay walking-distance to sites, to keep our itineraries 
more flexible. In Lisbon, we stayed in the Baixa center, which was quite 
central to the main attractions. Check Booking.com for hotels in your price 
range in this neighbourhood.
What to do:
• Explore streets of Lisbon and Rossio Square.
• Book a free walking tour in advance for an overview of the city. We used 
Lisbon Chill Out Free Walking Tour.
• Explore Alfama and head to viewpoint at Miradouro de Santa Luzia.
Where to eat:
• Time Out Market: This food hall has so many options, everyone will find 
something they like!
• Pasteis de Belem: This place has great Pasteis de Nata.
ALGARVE
Where to stay:
Within the Algarve, we decided to stay in Albufera because it is considered a 
popular beach destination. We stayed near the Old Town so that we could 
easily walk to the city center, as well as beaches. Check out Booking.com to 
find a hotel in the area.
What to do:
• Relax on the golden sand beach
• Sign up for a boat tour of the Benagil Cave
• Take a day trip to Seville and Cordoba in Spain (2.5 hour drive) to enjoy 
the Real Alcazar Seville, the Cordoba Mosque Cathedral, and eat lots of 
Churros and Chocolate. 
Where to eat:
• Restaurants in the Old Town
ALGARVE
Where to stay:
Similar to the other cities, we opted to stay walking distance to the city center. 
We stayed in the Ribiera, a vibrant and historic area, which is full of cute 
cafes and shops. Check out Booking.com to find a spot in this neighborhood.
What to do:
• Walk across Dom Luis bridge and higher up to the park for the best views 
of the city. 
• Visit the bookstores and cafes that JK Rowling frequented (Majestic Cafe 
and Livraria Lello).
Where to eat:
• Zenith Porto
• Enjoy the cafes and restaurants in the Ribiera area
