Things To Do
Time Out Market
If you are a foodie, then check this out! Food hall located in the Mercado da Riberia at Cais do Sodre. This is where you can find the best of Lisbon under one roof.
Alfama
One of the oldest district of Lisbon with narrow cobbled streets and ancient houses. Great to wander the narrow streets, seek street art, ride the #28 tram, climb to the top of National Pantheon for a panoramic view over the Lisbon waterfront. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes if you choose to embark on this adventure!
Castelo de São Jorge
This is the famous castle in Lisbon. You can take a cab or walk - the walk is so nice and there are a ton of shops to go to on the way. There are gardens to walk through (with wild peacocks) and there are great vantage point views of the city.
Elevador de Santa Justa
Also called the Carmo Life, an elevator in the heart of Lisbon. It connects the lower streets of Baixa to Bairro Alto. Top attraction and great viewpoints.
