3 Days in Lisbon Alone: Sintra, Cascais, Pena Palace + Boca do Inferno| Steal my itinerary

72 hours alone in Lisbon and I'm already planning my way back. Here's the exact 3-day Lisbon itinerary — Sintra, Cascais, Alfama, Belém, and one night I did not plan for. If you're looking for a Lisbon travel guide that's actually realistic about what you can fit into three days, this is it. I did both day trips (yes, both — Sintra AND Cascais), climbed to Pena Palace, got lost in Quinta da Regaleira, stood at the edge of Boca do Inferno, made it to the beach, ate my way through Alfama, and still had a night out I'm not fully recovered from. I've timestamped everything below so you can take what you need and skip what you don't. If Lisbon is on your list for a first solo trip — this is your sign. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Intro 00:45 — Welcome to Lisbon 03:10 — Afro Lisbon club night 04:10 — Recap of the night 06:39 — Guest house tour 07:10 — Breakfast Lovers + Tram 28 09:25 — Belém 15:20 — Pastéis de Belém 17:11 — Day trip: Sintra (Pena Palace + Quinta da Regaleira) 25:21 — Day trip: Cascais (Boca do Inferno + the beach) 30:21 — Alfama 34:38 — Time Out Market 35:52 — LX Factory 39:51 — Java rooftop bar 40:37 — Outro 🍽️ WHERE I ATE Pastéis de Belém — the best pastel de nata in Lisbon, and I'm not taking questions Breakfast Lovers — brunch before Tram 28 Lupita Pizza The Coffee — genuinely good coffee, which is harder to find than you'd think Valenciana — Portuguese piri-piri chicken Time Out Market — go hungry, go early 🌅 WHAT I'D DO AGAIN Sunrise at Miradouro de Santa Luzia — the best sunrise spot in Lisbon, and I'll die on this hill Pena Palace, Sintra Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra Boca do Inferno, Cascais The beach at Cascais Belém + MAAT Museum LX Factory 🛏️ WHERE I STAYED Gaspar Guest House — booked through Agoda 📍 IN THIS VLOG Alfama · Belém · Pena Palace · Quinta da Regaleira · Sintra · Cascais · Boca do Inferno · LX Factory · Time Out Market · Miradouro de Santa Luzia 🛂 Heading to Europe and stuck on the visa part?
