On weekends when I'm out and about, I spend less than $40 a day:Start the day with coffee and breakfastPrice per person: $6.31 Lisbon is paradise for breakfast lovers. Take a train to the seashore and rent bikesPrice per person: $11.34 A one-hour train ride from Lisbon's historic Cais do Sodré station to the fishing village of Cascais costs $4.92 (round trip). We like to stop by on weekends, and it is conveniently located on the train ride back from Cascais. Our daughter loves bargain hunting at the Feira da Ladra, a popular flea market located within the Alfama district of Lisbon.
