Pro tip: I chose a 6-hour layover in Lisbon over a direct flight to save $175.

I used the time to take the airport train into the city, saw the Belem Tower, and had a pastel de nata. Has anyone else planned a long layover specifically to explore a new place?

Totally worth it for a quick adventure, though I get @brian328's stress point too lol.

Ever think about the stress factor? I tried this once and spent the whole layover worried about missing my next flight. Was the extra sightseeing worth that constant low-level panic?

Honestly, I get where you're coming from! For me, the thrill of seeing a new place totally beats the worry. I just set multiple alarms and plan a very quick trip near the airport.
