Consider getting the Lisboa Card which provides entry to a number of attractions and unlimited use of public transportation within Lisbon. The card can be purchased at the airport or in certain locations in downtown Lisbon. Cards can be bought for 24 hr, 48 hr, or 72 hr periods. Whether the card is worth the price will depend on how many of the attractions you visit and the extent you use public transportation.
- Try some national dishes like pastel de nata or grilled sardines. - Seek out Tascas. These small, family-run eateries are where locals go for hearty, home-style Portuguese meals.
