Suggestions for 10 days in Portugal

Hi,

My name is Tom, my girlfriend and I are visiting beautiful Portugal. We've seen great places in Lisbon the past 4 days and are now planning the rest of our trip but we are kinda in doubt of where else to go, and where first.

We have 8 days remaining. In that time we would love to see a not so touristy part of the Algarve, rent a car and then drive up to Caicais, Sintra and Porto. Our last 2 days we will stay in Baixa Chiado, Lisbon, before we leave to go back home.

Can anyone please help us out with great advice on where to go first, must see's, places to stay, see, eat, sleep, everything and anything is very welcome! :)

Thanks a lot! Tom & Alessandra

Porto and coimbra transport

I have some questions about the transport in and out of Porto. We will be arriving by plane and we are not renting a car, what is the best way to go from the airport to downtown. We made a reservation at Pensao Cristal , rua Galeria de Paris.

We will be in Porto for 4 days, 2 days to visit Porto, and we thought of spending one day to go to Barcelos (on thursday when there is a market) and from Barcelo to Braga. Is it better by train or bus

The same for Guimares, is it better by train or bus

and then we will go to Coimbra, and also there, will it be better to travel from Porto by train or bus?

bad dream

My usual habit, take quick look at TT when I get up.

There's something very strange about the posts this morning. I might be dreaming ..

Accomodations without reservations?

Hello,

I was wondering if I need reservations to stay one or two nights in Lucerne? I will be traveling from Austria and need only one or two nights accommodations in Lucerne before I leave from Zurich to Kenya. I usually do not make reservations but considering both my schedule and pocketbook are tight I am a bit worried. I am looking for budget accommodations (hostels okay if there are private rooms) and would like to stay in Lucerne.

Can anyone else recommend a neighboring town near Lucerne that is worth traveling to and may be even cheaper?

Cheers!

In and around Milan.

I just found a very cheap flight to Bergamo airport (Milan) so natually booked it straight away. I haven't really worked out my budget yet but expect to be-able to stay in the area for a week or two. Just wondering whether anyone who's visited the area could make any suggestions on where to go, what to see before I book my hostel. Obviously Milan seems like the obvious place to go after leaving the airport but I'm not opposed to going anywhere else. I've been living in Greece for the past few months and will have to go back to the uk by the end of the month so it would be nice to see a bit of Italy :)
