After many visits to Lisbon, any new places to see?

[cruisinclined]

Firstly, Lisbon is  fantastic,  as is Portugal.  The problem is that cruise stops are so short you can see very little compared to a longer stay.

We have explored the city centre and visited Cascais and Sintra. Further afield  may carry risks for getting back in time.

In Sintra we did not have time to explore the Monserrat Palace. I wonder if there are  ways to get there, at reasonable cost, separate from a ship tour which  offers more time to explore it fully. Plus what visitors thought of the Palace.

Or other Lisbon discoveries you may have loved?

The Aquarium is not to be missed we where told by a friend. I think we will visit it in June.

tile museum in Lisbon?

We loved the carriage museum.

You probably know that the Tile Museum and the Carriage Museum are separated almost equaldistantly by theTime Out Market. To me that's a day well spent. 

Have you been to the Gulkenkian Museum? How about a Tuk Tuk tour that gets you on many side streets you may have missed on earlier trips.

If you are going soon, Portugese time, be forwarned that a road construction project was just halted when they dug into ruins near the central plaza. Who knows how long it will take the government to determine how to preserve the dig site and restore one of the main roads. Traffic was challenging when we were there several weeks ago to board The Journey.

We did Sintra on our own, it is a very easy rail connection with frequent trains from the station in the centre of town.

Do you know how visitors to Sintra get the the Palace which ,as you know, is high up and looks a mile away,maybe a bit less?

Some new places for us which sound interesting, where did you pick up theTuk Tuks?

Good morning. 
We embarked after several days in Lisbon so engaged our guide there but I imagine you can arrange a port pickup. 
Pifas Fonseca at ecotukpifas@gmail.com was a delight.

And yes , Monserratte Palace is well worth a visit, it is lovely and way less crowded than the other palaces
