I visited Portugal for the first time and taking the internet's travel advice almost ruined my trip

• Portugal was amazing to visit, but the internet led me astray a few times.
• If you're looking for a site-seeing bus, avoid Tram 28.

This summer when I decided to go to Portugal, I consulted the internet for all of the things that we should do while we were there.

For some things, the internet was spot on: My friends and I loved the wine tours in Porto, kayaking in Lagos, and the nightlife in the Bairro Alto region of Lisbon.

For others, well, I have some amendments.

I know that I'm also a stranger on the internet giving you advice, so take what you want and leave what doesn't resonate. But as a person who spent hours in sweaty line after sweaty line, let me save you some hassle.
