Lisbon with Baby #MurphysDoPortugal

Yashy — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 21:43:41 +0000

Lisbon, the oldest city in Western Europe and the largest Portuguese city, is a hilly spot and can be difficult to navigate with a stroller. We spent three days exploring the many uphill cobbled streets, meeting the wonderful locals and learning about their culinary and musical culture. We lucked out with gorgeously sunny days during our mid

One of our pit stops between Porto and Lisbon was Óbidos, the well-preserved medieval town bounded by a fortified wall. We were told by many that a quick stop here would be a good break as it was two hours from Porto and an hour from Lisbon, so a two hour stop we made! I

A day in Belem is the perfect excursion for those visiting the Lisboa area. Many are drawn to this little town at the mouth of the River Tagus for its famous Pastis de Nata. Having sampled a couple of these scrumptious pastries this was my main reason for making the family swing by Belem as

The crowning glory of our Portugal travels was ending up at the uber luxury family resort, The Martinhal Beach Resort and Hotel in Sagres. The resort in the south western most point of the European continent impressed us to no end. I’m most certain that we found the MOST family friendly property that PERFECTLY caters

Our very last day in Portugal saw us drive six hours from the Algarve back to Porto and this was my one unplanned night. I wasn’t sure if we would want to spend the night in Coimbra or head straight into Porto and so I had made no hotel bookings until the VERY last minute. As

The Portuguese Craft Beer Experience

Sometimes it’s hard to travel as a beer lover, especially one spoiled by the rich variety of craft beers available throughout Canada and the United States. During our recent travels through Belgium, we were in excellent hands, but I knew Portugal was going to be challenging. My pre-travel research turned up little – I only

After successfully navigating Ireland with 7 passengers in a minivan in the summer of 2013, we decided to opt for a similar road adventure in Portugal. While the Irish countryside was riddled with windy backroads featuring 100 km/hour speed limits that could never safely be attained, Portugal’s highways are open, congestion-free motorways with no shortage

One of our dining highlights in Portugal was a lunch we all enjoyed overlooking the Douro with a panoramic view of the historic center of Porto. After a busy morning the hubs and I, along with Baby Boy, Little Monkey and their grandparents, made a trek uphill on a sunny afternoon to make our way

Yashy — Thu, 14 May 2015 09:16:28 +0000

Our Portugal travels started in Porto where we based ourselves at the Hoteis Fenix Ipanema Porto hotel. I stumbled upon this hotel during my research and immediately fell in love with the fact that they offer family rooms with two separate rooms. One of these rooms are made specifically with young kids in mind and
