I expect to spend some time in Lisbon in early April Any local gamers who might like to host for an evening? I play virtually anything miniatures related. What sights should a wargamer go and see? |

Cintra Castle is supposed to be worth a trip and I think there are near daily trips to Vimeiro battlefield too. |

Sintra Castle is a day trip out of town unless you have a car. It is beautiful. There is a nearby Moorish castle which I managed not to visit as there was not enough time on the organised day trip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintra |

I enjoyed a short trip outside of Lisbon a small town Obidos, it was a walled medieval town, nice architecture, great restaurants, and shopping. |

The military museum in Lisbon is worth a visit, the section on the Peninsula is small but the museum is worth a visit for the exhibits of the lesser known conflicts. There is a small military museum near the Busaco Monastery which is also worth a visit. |

If you go to Obidos you will be next door to the battlefields of Vimeiro and Rolica. Bom viagem! |
