Lisbon

An easy Lisbon recovery walk after the road trip: riverfront, modern architecture, cafés, and wide paths.

Why go: For the buffer day, Lisbon is intentionally low-friction. It gives river air, flat walking, and enough cafés without making the post-drive day feel like another sightseeing assignment.

Must see: Walk the riverfront rather than planning a packed museum day. The point is decompression.

Practical: Works well if you are tired after the Málaga to Lisbon drive. Metro, parking, and food are straightforward.
