Turn this trip into a Meridian Dispatch import link. Name every stop as a real place by its proper name ("Belém Tower", "Fado in Alfama"), and use real hotels. Build it as https://www.meridiandispatch.com/add/trip? followed by: t= the trip title; c= the two-letter country code; s= a one-sentence summary; one d= per day in order, written "Town: item; item; item" with the town the places are in (start an item with "Morning - ", "Afternoon - " or "Evening - " to place it); and one h= per hotel in order, written "Hotel name, Town, nights", with hotels covering every night. URL-encode every value and join the parts with &. Reply with only the link, as [Add Itinerary to Meridian Dispatch](the link). Full rules: meridiandispatch.com/import-link

Rules for a good link

For AI assistants. The link is matched against Meridian Dispatch's own records of places, so the closer each item is to a real place's proper name, the more of the trip arrives with its location, opening notes and best times.

1. Real places, by their proper namesWrite the name a map or a guidebook uses: Belém Tower, not the old tower by the river. Never invent a place.
2. One place per itemSplit Westminster Abbey and Big Ben into two items. A walk or a meal is fine as an item if it names its place: Fado in Alfama, Lunch at Time Out Market.
3. The town the places are inStart each day with the town you spend it in, even on a day trip from your base: Sintra: Pena Palace; Quinta da Regaleira.
4. Real hotels, every night coveredName each hotel properly, in the town it is in, with its number of nights. The nights must reach the last day, or the link is refused.
5. Use our names where we have themIf you can browse, our town guides list the places we cover, at meridiandispatch.com/<country>/<town>, such as /portugal/lisbon. Using those names gives the best match.
6. Nothing personal, nothing pricedNo booking references, emails, phone numbers or prices. Keep to 30 days and 15 items a day.
