Cat & Erik Tie The Knot
Things To Do
Pastéis de Belém
You can’t come to Lisbon without trying these legendary custard tarts straight from the original bakery. Trust us, one won’t be enough. Just ask Erik, he has one first thing in the morning (every day!) whenever we are in Lisbon!
Cascais
Just a quick train ride from Lisbon, Cascais is a seaside gem with sandy beaches, cute cafés, and perfect spots for an ice cream stroll. It’s like a mini Mediterranean escape - highly recommended for a day trip.
Alfama
Get lost (literally) in Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood. Alfama is all about cobblestone streets, colourful houses, hidden wine bars, and the soulful sounds of Fado music echoing from tucked-away taverns.
Sintra
Straight out of a fairy tale. Sintra is all colourful palaces, lush gardens, and mysterious castles perched on hilltops. The Pena Palace is the showstopper, but don’t miss Quinta da Regaleira - home to secret tunnels and magical wells. An absolute must-do day trip.
Noobai - Rooftop Bar e Restaurante
A chilled terrace bar with one of the best river views in the city. Perfect for an afternoon sangria or a relaxed sunset hangout.
Tram 28
Tram 28 is a Lisbon classic. This bright yellow tram winds through the city’s prettiest corners and steepest hills. It’s touristy but totally worth it.
LX Factory
A former industrial space turned creative hotspot. Street art, boutique shops, rooftop bars, and some of Lisbon’s coolest restaurants all in one place.
Time Out Market
A food hall packed with some of the best chefs, local eats, and Portuguese wines. Come hungry, try everything, and thank us later.
Park Rooftop
Hidden on top of a parking garage, this rooftop gem serves up cocktails, good music, and panoramic views. It’s low-key, super cool, and perfect for golden hour.
Príncipe do Calhariz
A typical, no-fuss, classic Portuguese spot where the portions are huge and the food is delicious. Perfect for a laid-back dinner with all the local favourites.
Bairro Alto
This is Lisbon’s party district. Tiny bars, live music, and streets buzzing with people until late. Grab a drink, wander around, and dive into the nightlife - it's chaotic in the best way.
Pensão Amor
A former brothel turned into one of Lisbon’s most unique bars. Velvet chairs, eclectic decor, and the kind of cocktails that make you linger. It’s a vibe.
Baixa-Chiado
Wander these stylish downtown neighbourhoods for cute boutiques, local brands, and sidewalk cafés. Perfect for grabbing souvenirs (or treating yourself).
Belém Tower
Belém is a must-stop. Impressive architecture by the water. Snap your postcard-perfect photo, soak up the history, and then reward yourself, with yes, another pastel de nata. Make sure to also stop by the Jerónimos Monastery and Torre dos Descobrimentos whilst you're in Belém.
