Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- Good aquarium and trams; hills and cobbles are tiring. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- Cobbles and hills are tiring: use a carrier for babies and expect to carry tired legs on Alfama stairs. (Kids)
- The Oceanário in Parque das Nações is the best indoor day for children; the Pavilion of Knowledge is a science museum there. (Kids)
- Trams and elevators are a treat: Tram 15 to Belém is easier than the crowded Tram 28. (Kids)
