Hello, I plan to spend 7 nights next summer between Lisbon and Estoril. First time to the area. I want to experience the culture, see the sites, eat well and have some R&R by the sea. How does 4 nights in Estoril and 3 nights in Lisbon sound? Which city is best to visit Sintra from? I have a particular interest in photography and always happy to get up early for sunrise. Thanks in advance.

I'd make Lisbon home base. You can get to Estoril by train and there is a ton more stuff to do in Lisbon, especially since it's also more convenient to visit Sintra from Lisboa. Estoril has the casino, the beach and a very good Chinese restaurant, so if you're looking to relax, you can certainly do it there, but I get antsy, so I'd get bored easily. If you want to experience culture & sites, make it 4 days Lisbon, 3 days Estoril.
