Family holiday in Lisbon: things to do with kids and prices

In short: Lisbon is mild and relaxed with kids. The Oceanário is a highlight, and the Cascais beaches are a suburban train ride away. The hills are tiring with a stroller. A day for 2 adults and 2 children costs about €144 including the hotel.
