Lisbon with children means an even more fun trip. If your concern is how to walk around the  city without always walking, enjoy the public transport options on your trip to Lisbon – and  with the children together. With so many public transport options in Lisbon, you and your  family can easily reach any tourist spot in the city. Trams like 28, 25 or 15, subway lines, trains  and  Santa Justa or Bica elevators meet the needs of tourists who want to transit from one  point to another quickly and accessiblely. If you prefer, you can use the Hop-on Hop-off in  Lisbon, which are the famous red buses that make tourist routes, providing tourists with a walk  in the top and in the open air. You and your family can board the bus's starting point (or any  other) or climb any stop it does.

✓ Alcântara 

Hippotrip, the amphibious bus is a vehicle that rides both on land and on water. Children keep  their mouths open when they see the bus leave the streets to enter the Tagus River. Amazing,  huh? On this tour we boarded the bus and walked through the streets of Lisbon, listening to  the history of Lisbon and having a panoramic view of various sights of the city. It was a fun way  to get to know the city. The tour was super lively, as the guide taught a rallying cry and gave a  sign for all of us to shout during the way, the children were super excited.  

Pilar7, elevator only for those who do not have vertigo (or even for those who have): viewpoint  of the Bridge 25 de Abril. The journey in a transparent elevator, which puts us level on the car  board, lasts 40 seconds. Tickets for lisbon's new tourist attraction will cost six euros

BEACH COAST 

From Lisboa to Cascais/Guincho you have amazing beach coast and natural swimming pool to  have a break, free space to play and Run.

An alternative way to meal is to enjoy the best corners of the city!! Jardim of Gulbenkian's Museum is one of my favorite places for Lisboète landscape architecture, it is in the center of Lisbon, but it is still a good picnic retreat. There is a pond inside the Garden and ducks loitering around. Then, the entertain the kids, you can have them record how many different species of flora and birds they find: there are more than 230... Or you can just be sitting to eat, and receiving ducks visit, it seems like they like your meal too! they're kind but always like food smell: Do not feed the animals - Museum asks to. 

Here, always there exhibits inside museum and the garden also includes coffee shops (including delicious ice-cream with traditional Portuguese flavour). Visit this place!

From Lisbon to Lagos are 4hours by bus or by train - Gare Oriente (Lisboa) until Lagos.

About Lagos...

The beaches of Lagos –the most awarded are Praia da Dona Ana, followed by Praia do Camilo and Ponta da Piedade.

In fact, the entire stretch of just over 2 km in this area is remembered in the lists of the best beaches in Portugal and also in the world.

Places like Discovery Avenue; Lagos Marina; Church of Santa Maria de Lagos and Praça do Infante; Gil Eanes Square; Ponta da Bandeira Fort and Lagos Castle.

Sports like WakeBoard and others are fabulous entertainments. 

As an area that has always lived on fishing, it is an excellent place to taste fish and seafood. Taska do Kiko, Casinha do Petisco, Arte restaurante or Calhou are good options.

From Lisbon to Porto are 3,5 hours by train - Santa Apolónia (Lisboa) until Campanhã (Oporto).

About Porto...

My suggestion of what to do in 6 hours in Porto - as an average of round-trip time from Lisbon -  is to start by taking the metro to Jardim do Morro station. By the way, this station is in Vila Nova de Gaia (another city, but next to Porto), on the other side of the Douro River. This is where almost all the Port wine cellars are located.

To get to this station, the metro passes through Ponte D. Luís I. The view is worth it!!! There you have some viewpoints over the river, the bridge, the Ribeira region,… it's a real postcard.

Then, use your geographic sense (that's where the danger lies) and start descending towards the river's edge. As here, scattered throughout the region there are several Port wine cellars, almost all of which are open to visitors.

Once this part is over, cross the bridge on foot and, on the other side, you will be in the so-called Ribeira, an old and almost folkloric part of the city. Some short or long boat trips through Foz do Douro depart from this region. I think it might be a good choice but I am afraid you'll do not have enough time to go inside one. Choose what you'll prefer to do.

From Ribeira you can still walk, go to Palácio da Bolsa, Sé Cathedral, Torre dos Clérigos, Library Lello (where part of one of the Harry Potter movies was filmed) and then Avenida dos Aliados, which is the heart of the city. This whole region is ancient. You will pass several historic buildings.
