Portugal isn’t one of those vacation destinations that is merely doable with children … it’s so kid-friendly that it’s actually better enjoyed with them! Begin in bright, sunny Lisbon, one of Europe’s best capital cities (hop on a trolley to get around more easily). Spend a day or more in Sintra admiring the colorful castles and palaces. From there, pick and choose from what appeals most to your family: Head north to culturally enriching Porto or south to the beaches of the Algarve. Kid-friendly properties abound throughout Portugal’s main tourist areas, from chic urban hotels with kids’ clubs to beach resorts full of fun activities. Traveling around Portugal with children in tow, you’ll think of yourself as one of the lucky ones.
